Hi Jaison, 1. use a high frequency single ended probe. 2. make sure that the ground lead of the probe is as small as possible ( dont use the one with the clip-on ground leads which are quite long and pick up lot of noise, instead use a spring type of ground lead nicely wound around the unshielded ground portion of the probe) 3. its always better if the probe be placed directly across the output capacitor.
