I received my Road Test from Element 14 on March 23, 2017 , but I waited until yesterday (Monday, April 3) to unbox it. I have already begun the work on the GUI for my graphing component tester, which is my full Road Test project for this product. Bu...
It's Sunday morning and I'm catching up on things that I don't always get a chance to do during office hours where I'm in meetings, on the phone, answering questions, etc. This morning I sent follow up emails to RoadTest winners who have not pos...
Shortly after the Raspberry Pi 3 was released, Element14 announced a new road test entitled RoadTest Review a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B ! I was instantly excited. I had followed the Raspberry Pi project for several years and from all the spe...
Hi folks,I completed a review of the Intel Genuino 101 as part of the element14 roadtest. My apologies that this review is coming late, the device unfortunately arrived at a pretty tough time (November) in my master's degree studies and Christmas...

In my previous blog post I finished by expressing my hope that I'd be able to automate the steps I manually described for loading arbitrary waveforms into the 33622A Waveform Generator using BenchVue's Test Flow application. After some ...
I've been having loads of fun playing with BenchVue, the Pro Apps for DMMs and Function Generators, and with Keysight's BenchLink Waveform Builder Pro. I have encountered a few hiccups, but things have gone smoothly for the most part. My p...
I have been working on the background steps necessary to perform the complete Road \test of BenchVue and the pro apps I was provided. To recap I plan to use BenchVue and the pro apps for the 34461A34461A multimeter and the 33622A3362...
Last night I played with the pro version of the BenchVue multimeter application, without first reading any of the documentation, 'cause that's what most engineers do, right?Turns out the interface is intuitive enough and peppered with enough pop up h...
