    Simple but decent quality USB oscilloscope

    good quality usb oscilloscope Glad to be of any help (even if unintentionally). We use analog entry-level Tek scopes @work (don't know the exact type but I gather they're ~$3k new) and a team mate of mine told me they have a 200mV thermal drift. Thing is we (I) use them as digital scopes and we...

    Simple but decent quality USB oscilloscope

    quality of the usb oscilloscope 100$ for a 100MHz Tek puts my portability demand to question (I know, I don't change my mind easily :) ) But $33 for a 2Msamples/s kit is a definite WOW! I'm well past the age when soldering on a test board for a whole weekend used to sound like fun, so... :d...

    Simple but decent quality USB oscilloscope

    oscilloscope simple Buying an old CRT scope was among the (very early) options too, but since I don't need that wide a bandwidth... portability weighs a greater amount in my balance :) I found the Elektor issue that shows the USB data acquisition board (it's November 2007) and read the article...

    Simple but decent quality USB oscilloscope

    usb oscilloscope kit Hi wp100 Initially I considered buying an used Tek scope, but it's not portable and it's big and heavy. I really do need it to be portable from time to time. I'll take a look at your suggestions, although an analog scope would be more suitable for my needs. But maybe a...

    Simple but decent quality USB oscilloscope

    usb oscilloscope Hi everybody I've used my PC's sound card as a very basic oscilloscope for a while now but since I switched to a laptop which only has a mic input (very high sensitivity and can't be relied upon because of internal filters) I decided that I need an USB oscilloscope. Plus I'd...

    Now seriously - which are the best paid IT jobs?

    best paid jobs in europe in future eltonjohn, when I wrote "at least I'm well paid" I was being sarcastic. In my opinion a job should be either interesting or well paid, ideally both. But when it's none of the above, there's a problem. Compared to design verification, this testing job that I'm...

    I suck at placing and routing PCB's, please help improve

    Hi all First of all, this stuff is only a hobby for me, I don't do PCB's as a pro by any means. Occassionally I need to make a PCB at amateur level and I use Protel. Why Protel? Totally random choice, just got familiar with it. Anyway, I realize that I totally suck at it. My PCB's look like...

    Predefined variables in Synopsys Design Compiler

    I have counted and I have no less that 160 variables in my script. One question: can you share the script in which you set the variables you use?

    Predefined variables in Synopsys Design Compiler

    There are hundreds of them, how many do you use frequently? I'm asking because as part of my training program I was given the task of browsing though the variables and write a script containing the relevant ones, and the impression is that when I'll actually need one I won't be able to remember...

    Please explain JTAG to me

    I know what DFT is. But JTAG is also used as an interface for programming Flash in MCU's/DSP's etc. JTAG is more general than that, I was expecting the most general answer.
