Test & Measurement

Using a MEMS-based parallel-plate capacitor arrangement, NIST researchers devised a way to measure mid-range laser power via the radiation pressure exerted on the mirrored top plate and the resulting change in capacitance between plates.

The Inverse Sampling Method can expand the capability of tools, such as Excel and Spice, into performing user-defined statistical simulations.

After initial setup of your cell tester, or when it undergoes repairs, it’s important to make sure the tester delivers the proper results and that its safe by troubleshooting not only the fixture, but also the wiring.

The physical kilogram, the last of the physical primary-standard artifacts, has been made obsolete. The world’s metrology and standards organization voted to define all physical standards in terms of just seven universal constants.

Combining these Apps with an emulation environment makes it possible to increase fault coverage, increase production yield, and reduce ATE test time and cost.

This article provides some insight into making effective automotive electromagnetic-compatibility measurements using an oscilloscope.
