Webinar: Spectrum View - A New Approach to Frequency Domain Analysis on Oscilloscopes

An infrared thermometer allows surface temperature measurement without direct contact, making it suitable for products coming out of curing ovens or surfaces that are difficult to access. However, to ensure reliable results for production quality control, it is important to understand the measurement principle and the factors that affect measurements on painted and coated surfaces.

Around 6 or 7 in the evening, the gym becomes packed; the music drowns out the sound of heavy breathing, and the air conditioning runs at full blast behind closed doors. At first glance, everything seems fine: the room is cool, the lights are bright, and the equipment is state-of-the-art. Yet, after just a few sessions, regular members begin to feel a heavy-headedness and find themselves running out of breath more quickly eventually, they simply stop renewing their memberships. No one complains about the personal trainers or the exercise machines. The very thing that makes them feel stifled and drives them away is something entirely invisible: the air inside the room

Accurate MPO insertion-loss testing depends on setting a 0 dB reference that accounts for test reference cord loss. Inspect and verify TRCs, preserve the output connection, and reset the reference when the setup changes.

HDBaseT and IP video can use category copper cabling over 100-meter channels, but they differ in protocol and network use. Reliable AV links depend on installation quality, delay skew, crosstalk control, thermal management, and appropriate cable certification.

OLTS provides the definitive end-to-end insertion-loss measurement, while OTDR characterizes individual events, locations, and reflectance. Together, they support more complete fiber-link testing and documentation.
