Inductance of an SMD Shunt Resistor

15.09.2020

Plotter

The reliable and accurate measurement of current is critical to optimising any electronic system. The most commonly used method to measure current flows within a circuit is by using a low-value resistor mounted in series, and then measuring the voltage drop across this resistor. These current sensing resistors are commonly...

The Many Applications of the MF-MD Multi-Demodulator Option

24.08.2020

Demodulator Schematic

In my research days, lock-in amplifiers were a standard fixture in a transport measurement setup, and there were many of them. Each lock-in measured one signal in the experiment. Adding more lock-in amplifiers in the setup was the only way to learn more about the device transport properties, but this...

The webinar was recorded and is available on demand here . Here’s a selection of questions asked during the webinar, which we...

Optimize Signal Acquisition for Optical Measurements - Q&A

08.07.2020

Signal Acquisition

This blog post answers the many appreciated questions asked by the audience during the two recent webinar events "Optimize signal acquisition for optical measurements" and "Optimize signal acquisition for optics and photonics measurements". Both events were recorded and are available here and here . Both webinars covered these points: Lock-in...

Multiplexed Impedance Measurements

Multiplexed Impedance Measurement

Introduction Having more impedance measurement channels is often desirable in many applications. For instance, in electrical impedance tomography (EIT), it is common to have many channels to achieve enough spatial resolution (144 electrodes on the thorax) [1]. Naturally, this can be done with multiple instruments working together. When synchronization is...

Filter Bandwidth

This blog post accompanies the two webinars "Optimize signal acquisition for optical measurements" and "Optimize signal acquisition for optics and photonics measurements". Thank you to everybody who joined the live event and participated actively by asking so many questions. In this blog post, I want to summarize the content of...

Humidity Sensors – Resistive or Capacitive?

15.06.2020

Humidity Sensing

Humidity sensors (also known as hygrometers) are commonly used in applications ranging from everyday sensing to lab research. They are typically placed in an enclosed chamber, such as a car or a glovebox, where they are used to check whether the humidity is healthy for humans or materials inside.

Nanostructure Transport Characterization - Q&A

25.05.2020

Transport Characterization

Thank you to everyone who attended the "Nanostructure transport characterization" Webinar. It was my first webinar and it was an amazing experience for the whole team. We received a lot of questions and in this post I will answer most of them by grouping them into four categories: Measurement tools...

Sensor Characterization and Control

25.05.2020

Lock-in Principle

Sensors come in different flavors. They can be inertial devices for motion detection, tehy can be based on photosensitive materials, they can absorb surrounding molecules to detect their concentration, and so on. Developments in micromachining and micro-/nano-electromechanical system (MEMS/NEMS) technologies led to miniaturization and low power consumption. Hence, multiple sensors...

Controlling Your Measurements With QCoDeS and Labber

24.05.2020

QCodes

With this blog post, we introduce a new high-level Python programming interface for our instruments: the Zurich Instruments Toolkit. It is the basis of our new support for QCoDeS and Labber measurement frameworks. A modern experiment can be a complex beast. Researchers put a great amount of time and care...

Meeting SPM Users Virtually

16.05.2020

SPM Usermeeting 2020 Head

The 4th SPM User Meeting that was originally planned to occur in April in Lyon was rescheduled to 2021 due to the COVID-19 situation. We therefore found inventive ways to stay connected with our community, in a virtual manner, while leaving everyone safe at home. This blog post summarizes the...
