Instrument maker Keysight Technologies, Inc. says it will now handle equipment from other instrument vendors at its One-Stop Calibration Services. Keysight says the reason for the move is that modern test systems often integrate instruments of different form factors from multiple vendors, including PXI and AXIe instruments used with traditional benchtop instruments. These instruments are […]

Did the scope probe garble that signal?
Today’s amazing oscilloscopes are instruments of choice in research, product development and troubleshooting. But to be effective, their signal integrity must be evaluated and maintained, starting with the probes and working downstream. The user must be fully aware of bandwidth and sampling rate issues. These metrics become increasingly critical as the frequency of the signal […]
PXI Express High-Speed Source/Measure Unit checks cellular, wireless power amps
