When using accelerometers with long cables, you must be careful that the cables do not attenuate the signals at high frequencies. Engineers at PCB Piezotronics point out that such attenuation may ...

You can use a multimeter with capacitance-measurement capability to measure the length of wire or cable to an open circuit. The capacitance of a pair of wires (or a wire to a shield) is directly ...

Over the past decade, demand for nano-electrical characterization has rapidly increased due to the continuous miniaturization of electronic devices. The semiconductor and microelectronics industries ...

The High Voltage, Inc. VLF series of AC Hipots enables utilities to economically AC field-test cables and electrical apparatus instead of DC testing. A VLF unit is an AC hipot with a 0.1 Hz or lower ...

Depending upon the distance between the surface of a capacitance probe and a target source, the electrical capacitance that is formed between these two objects will vary. In an effort to improve ...

In this interview, industry expert Jason Chonko shares practical strategies for overcoming common challenges in high-resistance and low-signal electrical measurements by addressing noise, grounding, ...

BEAVERTON, OR. Tektronix Inc. has announced the availability of two new source-measure unit (SMU) modules for the Keithley 4200A-SCS parameter analyzer that can perform low-current measurements even ...
