Testing Power Electronic Systems Efficiently

With today’s increased incorporation of power electronics and switching devices in overall system design, there is a growing need for accurate measurement of both the power behavior of the applied power electronics and other inter-related electrical and physical parameters. My article in Power Electronics Europe • February/March 2016 describes the types of instruments available for…

I need to measure power or efficiency. What should I use? An Oscilloscope, a Power Analyser or a Precision Power Scope?

Many types of instrument can be used to measure power. This master class video will help you to understand their differences and to identify the most suitable solution for your application or stage in development or testing.

Achieving better resolution, accuracy and signal clarity with an oscilloscope

Oscilloscopes and related measuring instruments are often selected on the basis of their specified resolution but, as my article in Electronic Specifier Test & Measurement Magazine shows, there are a number of other factors that need to be taken into account to achieve the optimum results in terms of accuracy and signal clarity.

Test instruments evolve to meet automotive challenges

The increased use of advanced electronic technologies in modern cars poses considerable challenges to the test and measurement engineer, both at the design debugging stage and for general-purpose performance and maintenance purposes. The modern motor vehicle may contain sophisticated embedded systems linked with the engine control unit as well as serial buses for communications information…

Extra Channels Expand the Scope of MSO Applications

More and more oscilloscope users are realising that four channels are no longer enough. In my article published in Electronics World you will find out how eight channels provide the answer.

8 channel Yokogawa DLM4000 meets measurement challenges

Read my article in Irish Manufacturing how the new Yokogawa 8-channel mixed-signal oscilloscopes enables ­engineers to address many measurement challenges presented by the ­complex ­electrical and electronics signals found in today’s industrial ­control and power systems.
