Solution

True. The pF capacitance in the probe/cable/scope combination can indeed influence the measurement dramatically. This is because the rise time of the signal can be distorted by the RC time constant formed by the resistance and capacitance in the probe/cable/scope combination. If the RC time constant is significant compared to the rise time of the signal, it can cause the measured rise time to be longer than the actual rise time. This can lead to inaccurate measurements of the signal.
