    摘要: A test and measurement system includes one or more high voltage sources having a voltage high enough to be dangerous to users, an instrument backplane, having one or more backplane double fault protected interlocks, a power signal, and one or more slots configured to accept one or more modules, and one or more processors configured to execute code that causes the one or more processors to: monitor one or more signals from the one or more backplane double fault protected interlocks; and without engaging any of the one or more high voltage sources, determine an operational state and faulted condition of each of the one or more backplane double fault protected interlocks, and check wiring of an interlock pathway between the test and measurement instrument and a user system.

    摘要: A voltage source device, including a first voltage source configured to output a first voltage, source pathways to connect the first voltage source to a device under test, sensing pathways electrically coupled to the device under test; and circuitry configured to sample a second voltage at the device under test, determine a voltage difference between the first voltage and the second voltage, and adjust the first voltage based on the difference between the first voltage and the second voltage.

    摘要: Embodiments described herein include a data acquisition unit having a plurality of ports that are each configured to receive a signal from a respective temperature sensor of a device under test. Each of the temperature sensors is associated with a location with respect to the device under test. The data acquisition unit also includes a processor configured to determine a temperature corresponding to each temperature sensor, based on the signal received from the respective temperature sensor. The processor can then generate a thermal gradient for the device under test based on the temperature and the location of each of the temperature sensors. This thermal gradient can then be output for further analysis. Additional embodiments may be described and/or claimed herein.
