Shinta Caliper is one of the most common inspection tools, hand tools, and measurement equipment in workshops. This tool should provide accurate reading and help provide accurate measurement for the dimensional measurements of any parts, components, and products being manufactured, fabricated, and hand-made. During the frequent use of this measuring instrument, it might easily wear. If … Read more
Signal generator and function generator, both devices are used in testing, designing, and troubleshooting circuits by producing desired test signals. The two instruments may sound similar but there are some key differences that differentiate them from each other. So, through this page, we will have a close look at what each of these instruments has … Read more
Many of the experiments performed in advanced laboratories make use of an oscilloscope and a function generator. That said, understanding what they are and how they function is crucial, as is presented in the difference between the two. This article mostly provides an overview of the two and how they differ in terms of operation, … Read more
Ever wonder how an oscilloscope works? Want to learn how this electronic testing instrument measures and then processes the readings to be displayed on the screen for us to see? We cover both them here. How Analog Oscilloscope Works Analog oscilloscope or more commonly known as the ‘Cathode ray oscilloscope (CRO)’ is the predecessor of … Read more
There are several reasons why the depth micrometer is superior to the depth caliper. But, vice versa, there are also several points that the depth caliper is better than a depth micrometer. On another page, we discuss the difference between a micrometer and a caliper. But, it seems not a complete comparison, not specifically comparing … Read more
Dosimeter and Geiger counter are measuring instruments that measure the amount of radiation in an area. Like the speedometer of your car, they show radiation contamination per hour. A typical reading from a Dosimeter can be 50R/h. That means if you stay in that area for an hour, your body will be exposed to 50 … Read more
A power supply is a critical part of a particular measurement instrument. Almost all parts of a particular measurement instrument require electricity to run. The power supply in this case provides electricity to energize the system right from the transducer (sensor); we mean the passive one, goes to the microcontroller, and all the way down … Read more
Almost every single human in the world carries a display that is embedded into such a device called a cellphone or smartphone at this very moment. However, we might have no idea what type of display that is and how the mechanism works behind it. In this article, we are trying to bring the best … Read more
The reliability of handheld tools like calipers is frequently required in many areas that need higher accuracy and precision such as in engineering, metrology, manufacturing, quality control, 3D printing, etc. However, behind its advantage, these measuring tools are important to keep them well maintained to give accurate readings with extended life. The care includes regular … Read more
In engineering, the requirement to know what to measure on a day-to-day basis is essential. You have to know what to check for all shapes, sizes, and axes, including spherical or cylindrical. While doing those jobs, it means you are going to measure runout and total runout. It is usually noted for parts or components … Read more
