One of the most basic tools for tinkering with electronics is a multimeter. Today, even a cheap meter has capabilities that would have been either very expensive or unobtainable back in the 1970s.

The field strength used to determine radiated immunity must be accurately monitored during any test although the levels vary greatly from consumer to military applications. At high frequencies, this ...

Change in life is inevitable. You know this, yet sometimes you just choose not to accept it. You just close your eyes and think the world has also stopped. But even you realize that’s not the case. It ...

STAr Technologies, a leading supplier of semiconductor test probe cards, unveils a new one-touch Aries-Prima Memory Test probe card. The probe card is designed specifically to meet the current high ...

As with most successful technologies over the past few decades, test equipment has improved rapidly to adapt to ever changing requirements. When you look under the hood of a new car, for instance, you ...

Fairview Microwave’s semi-rigid test probes operate up to 6 GHz and offer a choice of three coax diameters and three different lengths to fit a variety of trace widths and applications. The probes ...

A selection of probes, from [Jim Williams’] Linear Technology app note 72. It’s not often that we are shown an entirely new class of test equipment here at Hackaday, so it was with some surprise that ...

In an extreme heat environment, such as during the sintering of powdered metals, in solid waste incinerators, or in oil or gas fired-furnaces, thermocouple probes need to be able to withstand extreme ...

Wafer level testing is an important part of the supply chain of electronic components. For integrated circuits (ICs), these tests are firmly established – for photonic integrated circuits (PICs), the ...
