Making measurements on electromechanical devices and systems often requires a variety of transducers or sensors to convert mechanical parameters such as force, acceleration, pressure, and rotational ...

Oscilloscopes principally measure voltage and time. Measuring another physical property such as temperature, pressure, flow, velocity, or displacement on an oscilloscope requires use of a transducer ...

An oscilloscope and a device under test (DUT) constitute a de-facto system. In it, the most overlooked element is the interface between the two: the oscilloscope’s probes. Test personnel simply grab ...

Engineers have developed a new ultrasound transducer, or probe, that could dramatically lower the cost of ultrasound scanners to as little as $100. Their patent-pending innovation -- no bigger than a ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Literally hundreds of different oscilloscope probes are available (Fig. 1), so how do you choose the right one? There’s ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Photothermal induced resonance (PTIR) has found application in the characterization of materials in fields spanning from photovoltaics, plasmonic, polymer science, biology and ...
