The World’s First iOS-Enabled Wireless DMM
Redfish Instruments releases the iDVM, which is the only DMM on the market that works on Apple’s iOS devices. The iOS device and App wirelessly acquires voltage, current, and resistance measurements from the device.
The oscilloscope’s acquisition modes
The acquisition modes of an oscilloscope control how waveform points are generated from sample points, which refer to the digital values taken directly from the analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The difference in time between the sample points is known as the sample interval. The stored digital values in the oscilloscope’s memory, waveform points are displayed to […]
