Software-based test-system architectures have become increasingly popular over the past several decades. As test applications become more complex, engineers are continuously challenged with the ...

A version of this article also appeared in the May 2012 issue of Test & Measurement World. See the PDF. Test engineers have used open standard interfaces since1975, when the IEEE approved IEEE 488, ...

Cybersecurity has become intertwined into each step of the automotive development process. In particular, fuzz testing has proven to be a powerful approach to detect unknown vulnerabilities in ...

Software-defined radios, instrumentation and test are ramping up alongside a flood of new technologies related to assisted and autonomous vehicles, 5G, and military/aerospace electronics, breathing ...

Today, test vendors are allowing even greater openness and flexibility by providing access to the instrument’s programmable on-board logic—often an FPGA. As a result, today’s engineers can customize ...

Engineering innovations are a critical cornerstone in the evolution of technology, but ironically there haven’t been as many innovations in engineers’ tooling itself. Now, a startup called Liquid ...

It’s a fair bet that anyone regularly reading Hackaday has a voltmeter within arm’s reach, and there’s a good chance an oscilloscope isn’t far behind. But beyond that, things get a little murky. We’re ...
