Real time spectrum analyzer vs. swept spectrum analyzers
Spectrum analyzers fall into two basic categories, real-time and swept. Real-time spectrum analyzer technology is derived from that of the oscilloscope. The instrument first gathers data in the time domain and then translates it into the frequency domain by means of the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). The noise floor is lower than in an oscilloscope, […]

B&K Precision Corporation’s Hand-Held 2510 Series oscilloscopes with current probes permit accurate display of current without cutting open the circuit. The clamp-on probes are user-friendly and capable of handling a large amount of current.
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 […]
