The basics of motor testing
by Miles Budimir, Senior Editor Testing electric motors doesn’t have to be a mystery. Knowledge of the basics together with powerful new test equipment vastly simplifies the job. Electric motors have had a reputation for being a mix of science and magic. So when a motor fails to operate it may not be obvious what […]
How to avoid errors in low-voltage measurements
Edited by Miles Budimir Subtle difficulties can plague tests involving low voltages. Here are the biggest culprits and surefire ways to avoid them. Signal levels in state-of-the-art electronics have become diminishingly small. For example, ultra-low-voltage digital designs in CMOS now operate with minimum supply voltages in the 200-mV range. This trend has put a new […]
Oscilloscope designs change with the times
by Miles Budimir, Senior Editor From portable scopes to a wide array of testing tools, oscilloscope design keeps up with the times. A key piece of electronic test equipment for well over half a century, oscilloscopes have long given engineers and designers insight into the invisible world of electrical signals. And as those signals got […]
