What kind of hardware would you like to see RoadTested?

We have a lot of different types of hardware in RoadTests & Reviews, however we tend to err on the side of electrical engineering and design engineers, are we right to do so?

Let us know so we can offer up the hardware that you want to see tested.

This poll's featured in Round-Up and Review - Videos, News and Polls!

Something else: power electronics, sensors, converters ( dc-dc, adc, dac), opamps & instrumentation amp ICs.

The current offer of the Thermocouple connectors is a good example. Components tend to be much cheaper than scopes or other nice test gear - so the odd misfire won't matter as much. The problem is that…

I wonder how best we could prepare someone to RoadTest components - some assumption may have to be made as to whether or not the person testing it has the relevant equipment to be able to put it through its paces, or it may have to be paired with some other hardware - how could you see it working?

The problem is that the value of the components is low so the tester is going to be doing it for love, Kudos or some other hard to fathom reason.

You could sweeten the deal by offering the additional parts needed to get the component working.

I think you could just ask applicants to list the gear they planned to use in the application.
