On March 2, 2005, Test & Measurement World reported on Keithley's 2600 series (Models 2601 and 2602) source-measure units (SMUs), instruments that cut measurement times by a factor of four over their ...

Designing a high-performance instrument in the 3U PXI form factor takes a new mindset when compared to designing a traditional box instrument. Modular instruments, because of their small size, have no ...

Length, time and volume are all examples of quantities close quantityA property that can exist as a magnitude, usually with a numerical value. For example, speed (quantity) is measured in metres per ...

And that is absolutely 100% accurate, with no measurement errors. But Jack, I hear you say, what are you talking about? The reason we know that that's exactly the speed of light, is that we defined it ...

One application that uses a precision power supply and DMM involves characterizing the current drawn by a device or circuit board at different voltage levels. Figure 1 shows a typical setup. Engineers ...
