RF signals are more dynamic and unpredictable than ever, which presents new challenges for engineers. Even traditional vector spectrum analyzers struggle to capture transient or intermittent signals, leaving you without a complete picture of how your circuit or system is performing.
Tektronix SignalVu-PC software now provides three advanced triggers enabling you to visualize, capture, and analyze …
The most common approach to current measurement on oscilloscopes is to use current transformers, Rogowski coils or Hall effect clamp-on probes. High-quality magnetic probes are accurate when used within their specifications. They are also convenient when current is flowing in wires or test loops, since they do not require breaking the circuit. However, they have some intrinsic limitations. In this …
There are different techniques for measuring the current flowing in a circuit. Employing Ohm’s law by inserting a shunt resistor of a precisely known value in the circuit is a common and straightforward way of measuring the current in the circuit. This post:
Defines and describes shunt resistors and their applications
Discusses key characteristics of shunt resistors
Gives an …
In the precision-driven world of calibration, understanding the nuances between different types of services is crucial for ensuring your instruments perform optimally. Tektronix, a leader in calibration technology, offers two distinct calibration services: Factory-Verified Calibration and OEM Compliant Calibration. While both services are designed to maintain the accuracy and reliability of your …
Semiconductor manufacturers, validation engineers and reliability engineers can now get faster test script development while automating Keithley test instruments such as SMUs, DAQs or DMMs with Keithley TSP Toolkit Software, the new TSP (Test Script Processor) script development environment, which takes the form of a Visual Studio Code extension. In this blog, we’ll explore TSP technology and how …
