Maybe, you are searching for an electrical measuring device that can measure the current. You know they are either multimeter or clamp meter. But, you are not sure which one to choose from. Because getting a little confused about how one differs from another, you start to dig more information about how they contrast to … Read more
Many of the experiments performed in advanced laboratories make use of an oscilloscope and a function generator. That said, understanding what they are and how they function is crucial, as is presented in the difference between the two. This article mostly provides an overview of the two and how they differ in terms of operation, … Read more
LCR meter and multimeter are one of the most if not the most important measuring instruments for an electrical engineer. A Multimeter is often the first choice for a hobbyist or a student getting into the industry. Further, with an advanced understanding of the fundamental concepts, instruments such as an LCR meter might come in … Read more
Signal generator and function generator, both devices are used in testing, designing, and troubleshooting circuits by producing desired test signals. The two instruments may sound similar but there are some key differences that differentiate them from each other. So, through this page, we will have a close look at what each of these instruments has … Read more
Geiger counter and dosimeter are both used for measuring or detecting certain kinds of radiations (ionizing radiation). However, both the devices are meant to perform different tasks and are very different from each other in terms of features and their applications. A Geiger counter (Geiger-Mueller counter) is not a dosimeter, but rather an ionizing radiation … Read more
A spectrum analyzer and a network analyzer are both important pieces of testing equipment and instrument for an engineer. Although they sound similar, however, they pose some major differences. In this article, you will be having a close look at how each device works and what differentiates them from each other. What is a Spectrum … Read more
Ever wonder how an oscilloscope works? Want to learn how this electronic testing instrument measures and then processes the readings to be displayed on the screen for us to see? We cover both them here. How Analog Oscilloscope Works Analog oscilloscope or more commonly known as the ‘Cathode ray oscilloscope (CRO)’ is the predecessor of … Read more
Maybe, you are planning to buy an oscilloscope but the logic analyzer also seems to suit your need. Due to budget, you only have one choice to choose from. All you have to do is to learn both of them first so that you know which one is really appropriate for your project. Aside from … Read more
As highlighted above in the article, an oscilloscope measures signals in the time domain while a spectrum analyzer captures and measures signals in the frequency domain. In the previous article, we have discussed the differences between oscilloscopes and logic analyzers. In this post, we are going to differentiate another electronic testing instrument spectrum analyzer from … Read more
Two things to get a better understanding of how the gauss meter works: Hall effect and Lorentz force. Gauss meter works making use of the Hall effect. The semiconductor of the Hall effect sensor is charged with current. The magnetic field will pull or push electrons in the semiconductor and then creating voltage differences. This … Read more
