Early last week I received a Tektronix TBS1202B-EDU oscilloscope through the post from Element14. Since my old analogue oscilloscope died about 2 months ago, I was in my element when the Tektronix unit arrived! Here's an account of my firs...
UPDATE Feb 11 2017:- An observant viewer spotted a discrepancy between the code in the video and the code attached/published here. I have now updated it to all match. In the following two videos we look at the use of a TI ADC and DAC TSSOP-16 ch...
In this video I use the MDO3000 to figure out where I went wrong in my circuit build, it was a kind Doh moment once I realised the error of my ways but im sharing it anyway www.youtube.com/watch
As you can tell from all the videos, im playing catchup, sorry about that In this video we look at using an Arduino UNO to measure the volts and Amps for a power supply and also have a look at more display options from overseas As a side no...
Again, I have been busy making videos and want them to be available to view, I will be following up with diagrams to go with this in the next little while In this video I show the basics of a voltage doubler using a classic design but as you wil...
In this video I look at the options for powering the Modular Bench Power Supply including re-cycled equipment like an old laptop power adapter through to 160VA Toroidal Transformers I will be adding pictures etc but I wanted to get the video ava...
We've been asked many times since the new Raspberry Pi 2 was launched "Does BitScope Micro work with it?". The answer is an unequivocal yes !Thanks to our friends at element14 we managed to get our hands on the brand new Raspberry Pi within 24 hours ...
I have been working with Vishay Precision Group on the selection of resistors for Current Sensing and feedback divider networks for the OP-Amps control stages for my "Power Supply Project", "DC Load" and "Power Meter&qu...
I recently decided to treat myself to a new multimeter.What prompted me to look is the fact that my current one is sub-standard (to say the least!) and can only measure DC voltages.I had a need to carry out some mains voltage checks around my house.&...
Hi Everyone, The holiday season just gets better and better... I would like to take this opportunity to make a shout-out to Vishay Precision group and in particular Richard who has personally created an excellent Christmas gift for me I hav...
I will be putting together the video this week end to go with this schematic but I thought i would share this with you in the mean timeVCC can be as much as 40V (I was powering the test circuit on a breadboard with a bench PSU for now set to 30V, my ...
You may remember Picoscope from the Troubleshooting and Debugging on the Move! webinar and 2250A RoadTest (you can see the reviews here). To close out the year we are happy to introduce the Picoscope 5000 series. www.youtube.com/watchThis...
Philae lander on comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko (via ESA/Rosetta/Philae/CIVA) The Philae lander's epic adventure this week left scientists and the public on edge as she bounced twice before landing in the shadow of a cliff on comet 67P/Chur...
Recently I presented this Webinar about BitScope Micro and Raspberry Pi.I introduced BitScope Micro and demonstrated how it can be used with Raspberry Pi and some other systems to perform multi-channel mixed signal test and measurement. Starting with...
In previous videos we have looked at the different modules that make up a typical bench power supply, in this post we will continue that trend and look at the Power Stage of typical power supply, evaluating different components (NPN, PNP, N Chan and ...
Karl-Ludwig Butte from Butte Verlag has written a highly accessible series in MagPi about how to get the best from BitScope Micro and Raspberry Pi to make electronic measurements.Part 3 is now available so I thought it timely to provide a round-up of...
This is the start of the next blog in my series for the LAB bench power supply, in this video I will explore an option of using dedicated Digital displays to show the current and Voltage and how having a display with differential inputs can help elim...
This post became public before I finished it, so it was finished in a hurry. Let me know if you spot an error.Introduction I've been working on these tutorials for some time. I originally started with the idea to use only videos, but the goal of...
Designing power supplies is one of the fundamental tasks of an analog electrical engineer. Finding the right part to deliver optimal efficiency, noise, control, and size characteristics can make or break a design. An oscilloscope is one of the best t...
Overview This is the third blog post in the series of fundamental concepts of electric circuits and signals with the Tek TBS1202B oscilloscopeTek TBS1202B oscilloscope. In my previous two posts, I discussed circuit analysis laws and capaci...
Many thanks to those who participated in this RoadTest plus with Agilent / Keysight & Texas Instruments. It hasn't been an easy choice for our suppliers to decide who triumphed in this instance, particularly with blogs & reviews such as...
