Software-based test-system architectures have become increasingly popular over the past several decades. As test applications become more complex, engineers are continuously challenged with the ...

To design an inductive component that contains a magnetic-core material, an engineer must accurately measure the material's characteristics. A magnetic core's dynamic hysteresis loop, or “B-H curve,” ...

“These instruments allow us to monitor and investigate material performance in real-time while the loop is still operational. This approach has not been implemented or explored in flow loops at other ...

With the power and flexibility of today's computers, engineers and scientists are increasingly using virtual instrumentation for HIL (hardware-in-the-loop)-simulation applications. A key element of ...

The increasing use of voice-activated devices has put a spotlight on audio tests – making a case for open and closed loop testing, says Eric Hodges of Audio Precision. Classically, audio tests have ...

Switching power supplies rely on feedback control loops to ensure that the required voltage and current are maintained under varying load conditions. Design of the feedback control loop influences ...
