System and method for current sense resistor compensation

A system for generating a current waveform, the system comprising:

• a probe that is connected to a terminal of a circuit;
• a waveform measuring device connected to the probe that acquires, through the probe, a voltage waveform;
• a virtual probe processor that receives a virtual probe netlist descriptive of a series resistance and associated parasitics;
• wherein the virtual probe processor converts, based on the virtual probe netlist, the voltage waveform to the current waveform;
• wherein the current waveform is representative of a current in the circuit.

An apparatus for generating a current waveform, the apparatus comprising:

• a probe input that includes or connects to a probe for connecting to a terminal of a circuit;
• a waveform processor connected to the probe input that acquires, through the probe, a voltage waveform;
• and
• a virtual probe processor that receive a virtual probe netlist descriptive of a series resistance and associated parasitics and converts, based on the virtual probe netlist, the voltage waveform to a current waveform representative of current in the circuit.
