Four Measurements for Field Engineers on the Go Field engineers and technicians have to perform a variety of RF and microwave tests in remote locations. In many cases, they don’t know which tests they need to perform until they reach the test site. This predicament leads to them carrying too much — or not enough — equipment with them. The

Getting Started with Test Automation in LabVIEW As the number of interfaces and functionality integrated into devices under test continues to increase, automated testing becomes more valuable as a tool to cover more test requirements in less time. High-speed serial interfaces (HSSI) are no exception. Thankfully, most of the tests and measurements for HSSI can still be accomplished by oscilloscopes.

PXI Platform Overview Powered by software, PXI is a rugged PC-based platform for measurement and automation systems. PXI combines PCI electrical-bus features with the modular, Eurocard packaging of CompactPCI and then adds specialized synchronization buses and key software features. PXI is both a high-performance and low-cost deployment platform for applications such as manufacturing test, military and aerospace, machine monitoring, automotive,

Two-Wire vs. Four-Wire Resistance Measurements: Which Configuration Makes Sense for Your Application? Most precision digital multimeters (DMMs) and many Source Measurement Units (SMUs) offer both two-wire and four-wire resistance measurement capabilities. However, these two techniques are not equally well suited for all resistance measurement applications.This article offers a quick overview of how to determine the most appropriate technique for a

Application Notes : The Fundamentals of Battery Test Battery pack and module testing is more critical than ever. Today’s engineers face new challenges including increased complexity of the tests and set-ups, long development and test times, addressing safety requirements, and avoiding hazards. Furthermore, testing to the application requires emulating real-world conditions by responding to communication signals from the battery, system
