Programming Example: SDS Oscilloscope save a copy of a screen image via Python/PyVISA

Here is a brief code example written in Python 3.4 that uses PyVISA to pull a display image (screenshot) from a SIGLENT SDS oscilloscope via USB and save it to a drive on the controlling computer. NOTE: This program saves the picture/display image file to the E: drive, which may or may not exist on the specific computer being used to run the application. Download Python 3.4...

Power Supply Design: Load Step Response with a SIGLENT DC Electronic Load

Building a power supply that can handle various loads without oscillating can be a challenge. Computational models and computer simulations can help get your design headed in the right direction, but physical testing is essential to proving the performance of your design. One method of quickly determining stability is to use a load step response. In this test, a DC electronic load is used to...

Precompliance: Susceptibility testing

EMC Precompliance Testing: Immunity/Susceptibility Solution: Products that contain electronics can be sensitive to radio frequency (RF) interference. Devices that experience RF interference can be prone to improper or failed operations. Products that suffer problems when exposed to RF interference are said to be susceptible to interference while products that do not exhibit is...

Real-Time vs. Swept Spectrum Analysers

Real-Time Spectrum Analyser vs Spectrum Analyser Today the RF industry has to face more and more the open question, how to transport the data from my test device (DUT) to different receiver spots (like to transmit data into World Wide Web). For IoT applications the most common way is, to use wireless transmission of data via common standards like Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or Zigbee. A more complex tes...

FM signal transmission and demodulation demo

Solution: This application note is designed to show FM data transmission and modulation using some common test instruments. An FM transmission consists of a wave who's frequency is modulated, or changed, with respect to an input signal. If the input signal frequency changes, so does the carrier frequency. The modulating signal affects the FM deviation. The total deviation is a function of th...

EMC Precompliance Testing

Why is Pre-Compliance Testing done? Almost any electronic design slated for commercial use is subject to EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) testing. Any company intending to sell these products into a country must ensure that the product is tested versus specifications set forth by the regulatory body of that country. In the USA, the FCC specifies rules on EMC testing. CISPR ...
