If a product uses power, then power consumption and power quality measurements must be made as part of product design and test. These measurements are essential to optimize product design, comply with ...

For more than a century, scientists have relied on separate tools to measure the three core building blocks of electricity: volts, ohms, and amps. Each describes a different piece of how electricity ...

This collection of Design Ideas starts off with yet another application of Microchip's PIC processors. In this instance, a PIC16F84A serves as instrumentation “engine.” Because this particular PIC ...

The Model 2182A Nanovoltmeter is intended for low voltage measurements in research, metrology, nanotechnology and other low voltage/low resistance applications. It minimizes dc drift and noise common ...

A team of scientists has revealed how a single quantum device can accurately measure the three fundamental units of electricity—the ampere (unit of electrical current), the volt (unit of electrical ...

Craig brought 15 years of automotive journalism experience to the Cars team. A lifelong resident of Michigan, he's as happy with a wrench or welding gun in hand as he is in front of the camera or ...

Sometimes, it's necessary to make microvolt measurements in the presence of volts. For example, the need arose to measure the thermoelectric potentials in an RTD ...
