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 ...

With the power and flexibility of today's computers, engineers and scientists are increasingly using virtual instrumentation for HIL (hardware-in-the-loop)-simulation applications. A key element of ...

To design an inductive component that contains a magnetic-core material, an engineer must accurately measure the material's characteristics. A magnetic core's dynamic hysteresis loop, or “B-H curve,” ...

An expanded hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test system promises to offer a better way to test engineering's most complex products, from defense aircraft to autonomous cars. Introduced at this week's ...

Idaho National Laboratory (INL) has debuted a new molten salt test loop that will support the development of advanced reactors using molten salts. The Molten Salt Flow Loop Test Bed is meant to allow ...

Switching power supplies rely on feedback control loops to ensure that the required voltage and current are maintained under varying load conditions. Design of the feedback control loop influences ...
