Late last week at work, our head of Maintenance at work had an older Fluke 190 Scopemeter at his desk. He said that something was wrong with it and he wasn't sure what to do with it - send it in for repair, or get rid of it and get a new one. At almo...
Advances in a nanomaterial-based detector platform arrive thanks in large part to Mahmooda Sultana's fund winnings. The $2 million award comes from NASA's Goodard Space Flight Center and will take two years to advance the multifunctional sens...
Introduction Continuing with my insulation tester series, I have changed the rules for this review slightly. Whilst the earlier reviews showed different offerings from manufacturers, this one will be a review of two very similar meters, detailin...
