If we want to take samples of some analog waveform, as in doing analog to digital conversions at some particular conversion rate, there is an absolute lower limit to the rate of doing conversions ...

Analog measurement resources in today’s mixed-signal ATE use ADCs, and the test methodologies are based on DSP. Two types of measurement resources are distinguished by the relationship of the test ...

A companion piece to “Maximize a waveform generator’s memory,” which we published in the May 2011 issue of Test & Measurement World. An AWG (arbitrary waveform generator) can have one of four ...

Recently, I wrote automated test software for a multichannel data-acquisition system that I had designed, where sampled waveform accuracy and repeatability were very important. The input waveforms ...

Tracktion Waveform Pro 12: Performance and verdict Beyond this the main headline changes are more in keeping with a full update and include 15 new and refreshed audio plugins, new instruments (BassOSC ...

Sampling oscilloscopes do not capture a whole waveform in one shot. Instead they are simpler, and work with repetitive waveforms only, using a fast sampling gate at a relatively slow sampling rate to ...

Researchers demonstrate an on-chip, optoelectronic device capable of sampling arbitrary, low-energy, near-infrared waveforms under ambient conditions with sub-optical-cycle resolution. The detector ...
