Engineering consultant Frank Hertel outlines a method of measuring an inductor’s value using only an oscilloscope and a signal or function generator.

Oscilloscopes principally measure voltage and time. Measuring another physical property such as temperature, pressure, flow, velocity, or displacement on an oscilloscope requires use of a transducer ...

New product development and production require a deeper understanding of signal quality both for input and output signals. The Pass/Fail test function of a Rigol oscilloscope can be used to easily ...

If these signals exhibit a simple, periodic waveform, such as with sine, square, or triangular waves, the generators are called function generators. They are often used to check the function of ...

Timing relationships between signals are critical to reliable operation of digital designs. With synchronous designs, the timing of the clock signal relative to data signals is especially important.

Austin, TX. NI announced this week the VB-8054 instrument, a new higher performance model of VirtualBench. VirtualBench, introduced in June 2014, plays a key role in reducing the cost and footprint of ...
