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 […]
Device Characterization for the Internet of Things
Characterizing the wireless devices that make up the Internet of Things (IoT) demands precision sourcing and measurement. Robert Green Keithley Instruments, a Tektronix Company A recent informal survey of more than 1,600 experts conducted by the Pew Research Center’s Internet & American Life Project on the future of the Internet suggests that, within a decade, […]
The Evolution of User Interfaces
by Jonathan Tucker, Senior Marketing and Product Manager, Keithley Instruments, Inc., Solon, Oh. Changing user expectations are shaping test instrument graphical user interface (GUI) design. User expectations for new instrument interfaces are changing. For instrumentation vendors, successfully designing new instruments means understanding that although users still need accurate measurements, they rarely have unlimited time to […]
