The Bench Oscilloscope Paradox

 

 

A paradox is two true statements that conflict with each other. You might not expect to find a paradox in the lab, but one in particular stands out.

 

Test bench truth No. 1: limitations and constraints

 

 

  • The complexity of test and analysis drives test equipment technology to its limits. Meanwhile, the equipment needed is increasingly expensive and offers only enough room to accommodate a few engineers at a time at the bench.

 

Test bench truth No. 2: expanding needs

 

  • The quantity, variety, and technology levels of devices requiring test are expanding. Meanwhile, design team size and geographic diversity are growing, and test information needs to flow across organizational and company borders. 
 

The trend is also in the wrong direction. Future product demands put more pressure on the limitations, simultaneously pushing the needs higher.
