Let's start with DC voltage, one of the simplest and most-used multimeter measurements. The DC voltage measurement is used to determine the difference in electrical potential between two points in a ...

It’s remarkable how tiny electronics have become. Heaven knows what an old-timer whose experience started with tubes must think, to go from solder tags to SMD in a lifetime is some journey. Even the ...

Digital multimeters (DMM), once called voltmeters, have been described as the tape measure for engineers in the new millennium. With electronics and electrical circuits included in almost every ...

Performing single-point pass/fail DC tests on packaged diodes is critical to ensure compliance with manufacturers’ specifications and weed out defective devices before they are shipped. Most types of ...

Fluke Corp. has introduced a new, easy-to-use utility multimeter designed to help utility workers, linemen and electricians, to quickly diagnose electrical problems. The Fluke 113 Utility Multimeter ...

Laser diodes, the devices that illuminate telecom fiber-optic cables, require light-current-voltage (L-I-V) measurements during production. These measurements let you characterize a laser diode's ...

The fruit of a collaboration with Labsphere, the 2500INT is a custom-designed integrating sphere optical head that facilitates direct optical measurement of laser diode output power when used with ...
