Measurement accuracy is an essential specification for all manufacturing test systems. The accuracy specification is a function of all the instruments in the system and the system’s layout, including wiring selection and configuration. Determining test system accuracy must include the accuracies of any programmable DC power supplies in the test system. So, what defines programmable power supply …
Avionics electronics, automotive electronics and other power electronics circuitry require accurate calibration of sensing circuits. For example, inaccurate calibration of an automotive battery monitoring circuit could either prematurely shut down or allow excessive discharge of the battery. The inaccurate calibration could eventually reduce EV travel distance or allow the battery to discharge to …
