Magnetic positioning system holds PCBs for instrument probing

May 12, 2020 By Lee Teschler Leave a Comment

pico technology

Oscilloscopes with more than two channels present humans with a common problem: none of us have enough hands to hold more than two oscilloscope probes in place. This is especially an issue when using an 8-channel oscilloscope such as the new PicoScope 6800E devices, so it was particularly important for Pico Technology to address it. […]

How to avoid errors in low-voltage measurements

June 17, 2016 By Miles Budimir Leave a Comment

Keithley-digital-multimeter

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 […]
