As engineers, we know the importance of having versatile and effective tools at our disposal. The Analog Discovery 2 from Digilent is one such tool that has become a staple …
The 4-20 mA current loop interface came about because of the need to transmit information over long distances. System designers found that instead of a changing a voltage signal [that …
Thermocouples are a popular way to measure temperature due to their low cost, ease-of-use, and wide measurement range. This article explains the difficulties in making accurate thermocouple measurements, how the …
Acquiring and Measuring FM Radio Frequencies From Your Desktop Overview Using Waveforms’ Oscilloscope or Spectrum Analyzer instruments to acquire the typical FM radio frequencies is just one of the capabilities …
Ian gives the rundown on oscilloscopes!
Get started with the Data Logger on the OpenScope MZ!
The Best SDR Projects: From Amateur Radio to Satellite Tracking Software defined radio (SDR) is a digital window into signals you normally can’t see. Aircraft, ships, satellites, utility meters, amateur …
Most wireless tools are built for one job. A dedicated spectrum analyzer monitors frequencies. A GPS receiver locks onto satellites. A protocol tester checks a specific wireless standard. Each device …
Software-defined radio (SDR) has transformed the way engineers, researchers, and students interact with wireless systems. Instead of relying on fixed hardware to perform radio functions, SDR platforms move much of …
Software Defined Radio (SDR) is a radio communication system that performs many traditional radio functions in software instead of dedicated hardware circuits. Tasks such as filtering, modulation, demodulation, signal generation, …
