Frequency at which an analog signal is measured or converted into a discrete-time (digital) signal within a specifed time.
SCP (Short Circuit Protection)
SCP is a safety function that limits or switches off the current to prevent damage.
SCPI (Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments)
SCPI is a standardized ASCII-based command language for controlling test and measurement devices.
Semiconductor
Semiconductors are materials that lie between conductors and non-conductors (insulators) in terms of their electrical conductivity.
SiC (Silicon Carbide)
SiC offers excellent material properties and enables power semiconductors with very good dynamic properties and high junction temperatures.
Signal generator
A Signal Generator describes a function generator that can generate sine, square and triangular waveforms
Signal source
The Signal source is a location where a signal is generated, e.g. sensor or signal generator.
Single-Sideband Phase Noise
Single-Sideband Phase Noise (SSB) is a key parameter in RF and communication technology that defines the spectral purity of a signal. It describes how much an ideal sinusoidal carrier is affected by random phase and frequency fluctuations.
SMU (Source Measurement Unit)
SMU is a combination of a power supply (power supply unit) and a measuring device (multimeter).
SOC (State Of Charge)
SOC = State Of Charge, the state of charge of a battery, for example
Source measurement unit
A source measurement unit (SMU) is a combination of a power supply (power supply unit) and a measuring device (multimeter)
SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface)
SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) is a high-speed protocol for controllers and peripherals. Ideal for sensors, memory devices, and measurement technology.
Storage depth
The storage depth is the maximum recording length for oscilloscopes. The storage depth and the sampling rate depend on each other. The greater the memory depth, the higher the sampling rate can be selected.
