It's that time of month again as the keys have been clicking on the keyboard here. My latest article has been posted at http://emcesd.com on a common scope setting whose default value can hide significant measurement errors while troubleshooting or veriyfing circuit performance. The picture link to the article is located at the bottom of the the index page, but there are 80 articles above that on the same page!
Sin(x)/x, the Forgotten Setting - Part One The many features of digitizing scopes both makes them useful and at the same time can cause problems if they are all not set properly for the measurement to be made. This month's Technical Tidbit at http://emcesd.com covers the Sin(x)/x setting and its affect on measurement accuracy, which can be severe. For many measurements, the recommendation is to disable this feature. I make available course notes in pdf format to people who have attended my full two day High Frequency Measurements and Noise seminar. If you an alumnus of the seminar and have lost the download information, send me an email with your current contact information and tell me when and where you took the course. I will email you the download instructions for the recently upated notes. -- ___ _ Doug Smith \ / ) P.O.
