What is a benchtop DC power supply?
February 14, 2025 631
A benchtop DC power supply is a power supply that is mounted to an engineer's workbench for use. It usually has a large, legible display and user interface to allow the engineer to easily achieve full control of the power supply from the front panel. Users can also control modern benchtop power supplies through software. In addition, engineers can easily access the output terminals from the front. Variable bench power supplies are a convenient electric...

Clamp Meter Usage
February 14, 2025 687
If you want to measure current, voltage, etc., you need specialized measuring equipment. Analog and digital multimeters are usually used to measure current, but the circuit must be cut off and the multimeter and the circuit connected in series in order to make the measurement. However, it is not uncommon that it is not possible to disconnect the circuit in some cases. In addition, there is a danger of electric shock when the circuit is disconnected. In this case the clamp meter...

How does a vector network analyzer work?
February 14, 2025 640
A network analyzer consists of a signal source and a receiver. The receiver will detect changes in the output signal of the device (or network) and then compare it to the source signal fed into the device. To evaluate the effect of the device on current and voltage, the VNA measures the resulting amplitude and phase response. This results in transmission and reflection measurements, impedance and s-parameters, which can be used by the test engineer to...

How to read the measurement results of a digital multimeter?
February 14, 2025 643
Most handheld or benchtop digital multimeters display measurements digitally. The number of digits displayed on the screen usually represents the measurement resolution of the digital multimeter. Resolution is the smallest detail that a digital multimeter can quantitatively determine when making a measurement. Therefore, the more digits a digital multimeter displays, the higher its resolution. Handheld digital multimeters are typically capable of displaying three-and-a-half and four...
