It’s probably not much of a stretch to say that many of us have taken on a project or two that were little more than thinly veiled excuses to add a new tool or piece of gear to our arsenal. There’s ...

The compact size of the AFG31000 belies the four innovations it houses: a big multi-touch display, waveform monitoring, waveform sequencing, and waveform generation. The test industry is sprinting to ...

For those of us who like to wrangle electrons from time to time, there are some exceptional deals out there for low (or at least lower) cost imported test equipment. If you’re willing to part with a ...

The project utilizes a PIC16F870 microcontroller to create a function generator that would produce waveforms such as sine, triangle, square, and saw with burst sweep noise. Along with the PIC16F870 ...

A description of a four-phase RC oscillator of a sinusoidal and rectangular shape is given. A triangular-shaped signal is obtained by the counterphase addition of half-waves of sinusoidal signals ...

A dead Tek FG503 function generator plug-in inspires a teardown. The culprit? A bad op amp in the power supply. A former coworker friend sent me a Tektronix 3-slot mainframe and several plug-in ...

Wind Engineering, Vol. 12, No. 6 (1988), pp. 333-340 (8 pages) A slip-ring induction machine with power-electronic control of slip-energy can provide a cost effective variable-speed generator for ...
