6.4 Aim-TTi SMU4201 vs Keithley 2450
As of 8/26/23, both the Aim-TTi SMU4201 ($5,250) and the Keithley 2450 ($6,870), show enough similarities in their electrical capabilities, that it makes sense to compare them to see how they differ. Here I w...
6.3 Introduction
Batteries are energy storage devices that store chemical energy to then convert it into electrical energy when required. With the increasing demand for mobile devices and electric vehicles, batteries have become a fundamental compone...
6.2 Diode characterization
A diode is a two-terminal device that facilitates current conduction in one direction and blocks it in the other. The I-V characterization of a diode can be challenging due to the exponential relationship between voltage an...
6.1 Instrument Interfaces
Modern bench test equipment usually support different workflows. Controlling the instrument from the front-panel has the advantage of not requiring a connected computer, but the disadvantage that the instrument's screen ...
My ADI ADALM2000 device, received under Element14's Roadtest program, came at a time when I had begun working on a project related to communications on relatively long (few kilometers long) twisted pairs. I have used cables in differen...
I recently received an ADALM2000 unit, designed and built by Analog Devices, as part of the roadtest program. I have been using this opportunity to explore all that the device offers.
The good thing about the ADALM2000 is that it is a small in...
My Weller WXsmart unboxing video was already finished some weeks ago, but I didn't dare to publish it. Now my fellow roadtesters already published it, I decided to show it to you as well.
Stay tuned for my detailed review which I will p...
There's a 30-minute video review of the MXO 4 oscilloscope here, admittedly longer than I hoped, but it is 20-minutes if you watch at 1.5 times the speed : )
There are chapters in case (like me) you don't like watching long videos. The ...

MXO4 Road Test – Gated Measuring and Remote Control
I’m looking at some internal signals in a sensor.
It measures the amplitude of pulses which respond the thing its measuring. At about -150us the analogue stuff gets switched on, a...
MXO4 Road Test - Mostly Filtering
A little while ago I posted the details of a high side current sensing amplifier that I use to measure low power sensor currents using a scope or a DMM.
I though it would be nice to see what the MXO4 made of the sign...
