SMUs vs. 5 Other Instruments Tuesday, August 6, 2024 par : Bradley Odhner

Source Measure Units (SMUs) are versatile instruments developed at the advent of semiconductors to characterize their complex behavior. Key capabilities of a SMU include 4-quadrant operation, precision measurement and sourcing, and high speed. These capabilities make SMUs similar to a range of other test and measurement equipment, yet different in meaningful ways. This blog explores some of the …

What is Data Acquisition (DAQ)? Thursday, December 7, 2023 par : Tektronix Expert

Data Acquisition (DAQ) is the measurement of electrical or physical things like voltage, current, temperature, pressure, sound, or motion. Converting these signals into digital data is necessary to analyze and store them for further processing. DAQ systems are essential for a wide range of applications, from scientific research and industrial automation to environmental monitoring and medical …

Analyze DAQ and DMM Data from Home with New Keithley and Initial State Integration Tuesday, September 1, 2020 par : Joseph Gorley

I remember the days as a senior project manager in a new product development environment where teams were under extreme pressure to quickly launch high quality products for critical applications. This meant life cycle testing was a must. I absolutely hated when a test would terminate in the middle of the night with no notice—it wasted valuable time and capacity on our test rigs. I spent countless …

From Button Pushing to Automation: Getting Started with Scripting Saturday, January 19, 2019 par : Tektronix Expert

By Andrew Kirby Making simple electrical measurements is something that every engineer is familiar with. These measurements are the usual: current, voltage, and resistance. In a typical benchtop setting, these measurements are made one at a time, using the front panel of a given instrument. The knobs of the power supply are turned to the appropriate voltage, the current limit is set, the DMM is …
