Although a power supply and a DMM are fine for some measurements, there are many advantages to having sourcing and measuring in the same instrument. Yet many engineers I encounter are not familiar ...
One application that uses a precision power supply and DMM involves characterizing the current drawn by a device or circuit board at different voltage levels. Figure 1 shows a typical setup. Engineers ...
MEASURING live voltages and current in today's high-energy environments can result in a severe hazard to equipment and users if proper precautions are not applied. Given the risk of transients, surges ...
Guest columnist Christopher Gobok, product marketing engineer at Linear Technology believes that accurate power supply voltage and current monitoring is crucial to conserving power and guaranteeing ...
Proper calibration of test instruments is crucial for meeting the stringent performance requirements of many equipment types. Calibration results must frequently meet national and international ...
Measuring resistance doesn’t seem to be a big deal. Put your meter leads across two wires or terminals and read the value, right? Most of the time that is good enough, but sometimes you need better ...
