Application Note: Why is oscilloscope vertical accuracy important? 

Charged

Sponsored by Keysight Technologies. Modern electronic devices demand increasingly precise and clean power supplies. As supply voltages decrease and tolerances tighten, accurately measuring ripple and noise becomes crucial. Engineers debugging face the challenge of detecting and quantifying these small AC signals riding on top of large DC voltages. Traditional measurement techniques often fall short due to limitations in oscilloscope performance and probe characteristics.
