How to Measure Current with an Oscilloscope Current Probe?

How to Measure Current with an Oscilloscope Current Probe?

The main function of an oscilloscope probe is to bring the voltage signal being measured from the measurement point into the oscilloscope for measurement. Ideally, the oscilloscope probe should have no effect on the measured signal, but in reality, its long cable inevitably has stray inductance, capacitance, and resistance. Therefore, they will affect the oscilloscope’s … Read more

How PLC Controls Stepper Drives

How PLC Controls Stepper Drives

Search WeChatTechnical Training Stepper motors are commonly used for positioning control, and they can control the rotation angle (which can be relative distance) through the number of pulses output by the PLC. The frequency of the pulses controls the speed of the stepper motor. For applications where high precision is not required, this method is … Read more
