The OWON SPS series combines fanless operation, single-channel programmable DC output, constant-power operation, waveform functions, and integrated protection features.

How does the Mohs scale rank gemstone hardness? Why does the metal industry require more precise measurement methods, such as Rockwell, Vickers, and Brinell?

Industrial rubber typically falls within the 40–80 Shore A range, though there is no single standard hardness for all types; components such as gaskets, seals, vibration dampers, and rollers may utilize different hardness levels depending on specific requirements. Temperature also significantly affects measurement results: heated rubber tends to soften—lowering the Shore A value—while cold rubber tends to harden, causing the Shore A reading to rise.

Memory depth determines how many data points an oscilloscope can store during a single acquisition. This parameter directly affects the actual sampling rate, observation time, and the ability to capture and analyze abnormal events.

189 Testing the camshaft Hall sensor using the OWON VDS2064 oscilloscope enables technicians to capture, display, and analyze waveforms directly on a computer during automotive electrical diagnostics.

Both Shore A and Shore D are used to measure material hardness, but each scale is suited to a different group of materials. Soft rubber, silicone, or elastic gaskets are typically tested using Shore A, whereas hard plastics, engineering plastics, and materials with low deformation are better suited to Shore D

Equipment restarts in a factory setting can be attributed to voltage sags, momentary power outages, electrical noise, overheating, or hardware faults. For incidents that last only a few power cycles, a power quality analyzer can capture voltage, current, and waveform data at the exact moment of the reset, thereby helping engineers determine whether the power supply is the cause

Record length is the number of data points stored during a single waveform acquisition. When the sampling rate remains constant, a longer record length allows the oscilloscope to capture the signal over a longer period of time. Record length affects the actual sampling rate, the ability to maintain a high sampling rate over an extended period, and the amount of data available for electrical waveform analysis.

OWON’s PC virtual oscilloscope is presented as a practical tool for observing crankshaft position sensor waveforms in automotive diagnostics, helping technicians analyze engine behavior more clearly.

Oscilloscope probes are commonly used alongside other measuring instruments to monitor voltage, frequency, and waveforms. Proper use of the probe ensures greater stability during testing and facilitates more effective signal analysis.
