Test and Measurement
Subscribe
Test and Measurement are critical for finding those issues within an electronic system design that prevent it from being fully functional.
Electronic components are also subject to a variety of tests that involve anything from physical inspection to product-level functional testing to verifying functionality in a network environment. However unglamorous as it is, Test & Measurement is an essential asset to the electronics design process.

Boss is right - it does seem ages ago, maybe 15+ years. I know right where my iButtons are stored. I just need to determine if they are still usable - probably not.

Yes, you connect the signal generator output to the input of the DUT, and connect channel 1 of the scope to that same point, so the scope can monitor the input (stimulus) to the DUT. Then you connect channel... -

Quick detection of leaks in compressed air, gas or vacuum systems
In today's industrial plants and facilities, many of the machines, tools, robotics and product handling all operate with compressed air, gas and vacuum systems, but detecting leaks (wasted energy) can be hard, especially in inaccessible locations.

EMI Debugging with Spectrum Analyzers
Precompliance as well as debugging tests are most commonly done with the help of a spectrum analyzer or an oscilloscope. For debugging and locating emission sources, there are spectrum analyzers which offer outstanding performance.

EMI Debugging with an Oscilloscope
Uncovering an EMI problem early on is less costly and easier to fix. Since oscilloscopes are typically the main instrument used during hardware development and system testing, they are a valuable tool for EMI related tests in R&D.
