Bitscope – PC Oscilloscopes And Analyzers

BitScopes are USB or Ethernet connected PC Based Mixed Signal Oscilloscopes. This means they capture and display one, two or four analog signals and eight logic or timing signals, simultaneously. Any BitScope can be used as a Digital Storage Oscilloscope, Logic State Analyzer, Spectrum Analyzer or Data Recorder. USB BitScope 310

USB BitScope 310 – PC Oscilloscope

BS310U is a robust general purpose USB Mixed Signal Scope and Data Acquisition device. BS310U is backward compatible with BS300U which it replaces.

It has 4 times as much capture buffer, a software switchable x10 and x50 analog input multiplier and AC/DC coupling, switchable 50 ohm termination, a double speed built-in USB host interface all in a physical package about 2/3 the size and weight of BS300U.

BS325 with third party software

BS325 is user programmable, software extendable and can be integrated with third party software.

To make this easy the BitScope Library is available for BS325. The library can be used to create custom applications or to integrate one or more BS325 units into specialised testing and data acquisition systems.

The library is included as standard with BS325 and is compatible for Windows, Linux and Macintosh platforms.

Covering electronics test, measurement, and inspection. TMWorld.com is a comprehensive website solely dedicated to providing information for engineers involved in electronics test and measurement across various industries including communications, aerospace and defense, and consumer electronics. Bill and Dave - Hewlett and Packard

Test and Measurement World

“Bill & Dave” takes you through not only the history of the Hewlett-Packard Company, it gives you insight into how the company’s founders thought and acted. Malone particularly points to how Hewlett and Packard dealt with people. He cites many “war” stories, starting at Stanford, through World War II, when Hewlett left the fledgling company for Packard to run, and onward through Packard’s death in 1996 and Hewlett’s death in 2001.”

Precision RMS Value of AC Waveform

“RMS to DC conversion is the truest way to measure the energy contained in an AC waveform.” The accurate measurement of AC for a wide variety of waveforms and noise is difficult. When we make solar systems and inverters, the AC outputs are seldom sinusoidal. The easy method is to use a Precision rectifier/filter, get the average voltage and a RMS calibration/scaling is done for sine is by tweaking a trimpot. This will not show the right values for other waveforms. The other way was, analog computing, with many opamps and a matched pair of transistors; like multipliers and log [Read More ....]

Non-Destructive Testing NDT Resource

Eddy Current Testing (ET) and Infrared/Thermal Testing (IRT) are Interesting Areas where experienced designers can build and manufacture Test Equipment. Community College Education Resource These pages have NDT study material for college and Science Educational Pages for High School. Students can get ideas for original project work on one of these concepts. Choose one area and then research in the web. When i had to build Equipment, it would be difficult to get the catalogs and datasheets of Materials or Methods. Now master the art or searching online, then create your database.
