As cheap microcontrollers have given us an impressive range of test equipment trinkets to play with, it’s easy to forget some of the old standabys. A curve tracer for example, the relatively simple ...

Keithley Instruments, Inc. has introduced seven instrumentation, software, and test fixture configurations for parametric curve tracing applications for characterizing high power devices at up to ...

A Lissajous curve is formed when two sine waves plotted on their respective X and Y axes. You can see one using an oscilloscope and a couple of signal generators, if you play with one of those ...

Curve tracers are electronic test devices that are similar to oscilloscopes in many ways. Fundamentally, these instruments operate by varying a parameter, then measuring a separate one to produce data ...

Fluke recently acquired Solmetric, a company that combines cutting-edge equipment with industry expertise. pv magazine USA met with Fluke’s Will White at RE+ to explore the company’s new high wattage, ...

It’s generally acknowledged that curve tracers, originally introduced in the late 1950s for characterizing vacuum tubes, then later for transistors, are no longer up to the task of characterizing ...

I HAVE unwittingly done an injustice to Mr. R. H. Duncan's book on “Practical Curve Tracing” (vol. lxxxiii., p. 461). I judged by the review of it in NATURE of June 9 that it deals only with the ...
