Does anyone know where I could purchase an o-scope and a DAC board for cheap? Or may have one and want to sell it to me. Thanks.
Affordable Lab Equipment: O-Scope and DAC Board for Sale
AI Thread Summary
Affordable options for purchasing an oscilloscope and DAC board include local radio and electronics flea markets, where hobbyists often sell test equipment at low prices. These events can be extensive, allowing for a full day of browsing and potential bargains. Engaging in horse trading at these markets can lead to even better deals. Additionally, community forums may have members willing to sell their own equipment. Exploring these avenues can yield significant savings on lab equipment.

I would check out your local radio/electronics flea markets. Hobbyists put these on, several times throughout the year and test equipment of the type you mention, can be found very cheap. Often these fleas are so big, they cover entire fairgrounds and you can spend a whole day looking at neat stuff.
With a little horse trading, you can get some great deals.

Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively.
So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...
suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation).
Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
