Are looking for a logic analyzer for your projects? You must be in a need to analyze multiple signals, right? Sure, this is the instrument designed for that. In a nutshell, Logic analyzers are an important and effective instrument for testing and analyzing digital signals. They enable the engineers as well as developers to thoroughly … Read more
A transistor tester is an electronic device applied to check the electrical behavior of transistors. This tester will identify the transistor type, pin configuration, parameter values, and even polarity. Types of transistors are BJT, JFET, MOSFET, and IGBT. When it comes to transistor tester, this instrument commonly refers to the component tester. It is not … Read more
Gauss meter only covers the measurements of the magnetic field, unlike the emf meter that covers the measurements of both electric field and magnetic field. It measures the magnetic flux density, expressed in Tesla, Gauss, or Newton per meter. The magnetic field depends on the current flow. If a wire connects to a power source … Read more
Geiger counter measures the amount of radioactivity by counting the particles that hit the detector (Geiger Muller tube). This gas-filled type instrument, in turn, generates pulses that represent the number of particles hitting the gas atoms inside the tube. Nuclear fallout, visiting a nuclear disaster site, collecting antiques, living near a nuclear power plant, mineral … Read more
Anemometer is a speed measurement tool. It’s designed specifically to measure wind speed and air flow rate. However, it’s not weird that a single anemometer comes with other measurements. It benefits you to cover as many measurements as possible. There is a broad application of this instrument including for home use, HVAC, sailing, paragliding, drone … Read more
A tally counter is a tool to count the events. The mechanism can be either a digital or mechanical. In some cases, it can be a software or app, which is installed on your devices. Typically, a mechanical tally counter is encased with metal material to protect the internal mechanical components. A digital tally counter, … Read more
An hourglass functions similarly to a timer. It’s a tool to give you a certain interval time. However, unlike a digital timer that you are probably able to change the time interval, the time interval of hourglasses is fixed. In addition, although it’s said 10 minutes, for example, you should never expect it as accurate … Read more
A spectrum analyzer is a test instrument that functions to measure and visualize the signal amplitude over a certain frequency range. The screen visualizes them in a graphic of amplitude vs frequency. The signal amplitude is displayed on the Y-axis, while the frequency range is displayed on the X-axis. The signal amplitude is commonly expressed … Read more
Vernier caliper is the type of caliper that makes use of a vernier scale to display the reading. This vernier scale can provide you with a resolution of .001″ (0.02 mm). It is common to find a vernier caliper with a 6″ measuring range. But you can also find the longer ones such as 8″, … Read more
Reading a dial indicator means calculating or interpreting the value shown by the scales. The calculation or interpretation results in an easy-to-understand number. Basically, reading a dial indicator is easy. All you have to do is simply adding the reading value of the inner scale and the outer scale. Inner Reading + Outer Reading = … Read more
