An adapter to allow low capacitance probing of high frequency circuits. Overview My boss, Dave, said “Just hold the probe close to the cathode lead.” Dave had worked at Tektronix for many years, and his ability to make difficult measurements was second only to his abilities to manage a company and design clever circuits. Dave’s […]

Overview I needed several current probes when designing the deflection circuits and high voltage supply for a computer display monitor, and the lab in which I was consulting only had one current probe, which I shared with the other four engineers on the project. We did not really have a budget for test equipment on

Introduction It has been said that a man with one watch knows what time it is, but a man with two watches is never sure. The same can be said for a person who has more than one voltmeter. In my situation, I have several voltmeters in each of two different locations a third of

Not too many parts. When a voltmeter is connected across the outside terminals of the output connector, its display reads out in degrees C. I’ve been fascinated by the LM335 for some time -maybe my obsession with stability finally gave way to my fascination with a circuit with intentional thermal drift. I finally bought some

Download auto-zero assembly code This broadband probe has a small antenna (about a 15 cm length of insulated wire). Radio Frequency energy coupled to the antenna is detected and made available to drive millivolt level signals to the input of a DVM (Digital Volt Meter). Its battery powered for convenience with very low current drain

This is a handy companion for a digital voltmeter. Its allowed me to do a lot of things I used to use my oscilloscope for, and in addition it measures voltages to much greater precision.Using an LM324 quad op amp, this peak detector provides 2% measurement accuracy on square waves from 5 Hz to 20

Encased in a pencil box to keep the point-to-point wiring on the back of the board from shorting to wires and things on the workbench, the plastic case also holds the offset and gain post as well as the input connector and the switches that switch on the near-zero and near-full scale references. I wanted
