About Test & Measurement

Test and measurement equipment generates, acquires, measures and analyzes electrical, physical or environmental signals. The category includes oscilloscopes, multimeters, data-acquisition systems, signal generators, RF analyzers, bench power supplies and specialized meters. These instruments support research, design verification, production test, calibration, maintenance and troubleshooting in electronics, communications, industrial, automotive and laboratory applications.

Select equipment by the quantity being measured or generated, required range, accuracy, resolution, bandwidth, sample rate and channel count. Confirm input impedance, isolation, trigger and logging functions, supported probes or sensors, communications interfaces and software compatibility. Voltage category, maximum input, grounding and other safety ratings must suit the test environment. Also verify calibration status and traceability, included accessories, licensing, power requirements and service support. Similar front-panel functions do not ensure equivalent dynamic performance or measurement uncertainty.
