Previously, we discussed common analog and digital electronics used by electronic engineers, which received a lot of attention from our fans. Today, we will mainly talk about the measurement instruments commonly used by electronic engineers, hoping to help our friends. Let’s take a look together!
1. Multimeter A multimeter is one of the most basic measurement instruments used to measure voltage, current, and resistance. It typically uses analog or digital displays and has high precision and reliability, suitable for various circuit tests, including power, signal, and load testing.2. Oscilloscope An oscilloscope is used to observe and measure signal waveforms, helping engineers check the quality, frequency, and amplitude of signals. It is widely used in communication, audio, video, and digital circuits.3. Spectrum Analyzer A spectrum analyzer is used to measure the frequency components and power spectrum of signals, widely applied in RF and microwave communication fields to check the spectral purity and interference of signals.4. Logic Analyzer A logic analyzer is used to analyze and debug digital circuits, monitoring multiple digital signals simultaneously and displaying their logical relationships, suitable for checking the operating status of microprocessors, memory, and interface circuits.5. Signal Generator A signal generator is used to generate various waveforms and signals, such as sine waves, square waves, pulses, etc. It is widely used in testing and debugging circuits and simulating various telecommunication signals.6. Noise Tester A noise tester is used to measure the noise and interference produced by electronic devices, helping electronic engineers assess the electromagnetic compatibility of devices and test the effectiveness of various anti-interference measures.7. Network Analyzer A network analyzer is used to measure the performance of transmission lines and networks, measuring parameters such as impedance, phase, and transmission coefficients, helping engineers check the quality and performance of transmission lines.8. Frequency Counter A frequency counter is used to measure the frequency of signals, widely applied in RF and microwave communication fields to measure the frequency accuracy and stability of signals, as well as clock signals and other time-related parameters.9. Power Meter A power meter is used to measure the power consumption of electronic devices, helping electronic engineers assess the energy consumption and efficiency of devices, design, and optimize energy-saving measures. It is typically divided into power meters and power sensors.10. Thermometer A thermometer is used to measure the temperature of electronic devices, helping electronic engineers assess the heat dissipation design and operating temperature range of devices, monitoring overheating and failure conditions. It can be divided into contact and non-contact types.
