Modern measurement systems often operate with single 5-V power supplies, yet their input signals may have large common-mode voltages that exceed the supply by tens or hundreds of volts. Also, unless ...

When you must measure a differential signal, perhaps from a thermocouple or bridge, the two signal wires will also pick up some unwanted signals. In a lab environment, those signals may appear ...

Next is the H-bridge, which resembles an H (Figure 2), which is used typically with a brushed DC motor. In addition to run, coast, and break operating modes, it can also reverse a motor. Simplified ...

Probing is critical to making quality oscilloscope measurements, and often the probe is the first link in the oscilloscope measurement chain. If probe performance is not adequate for your application, ...

In today’s information-driven society, there’s an ever-increasing preference to measure phenomena such as temperature, pressure, light, force, voltage and current. These measurements can be used in a ...
