Hi All, Time for my next Technical Tidbit article, this time on cleaning up scope waveforms (reducing unwanted noise in the waveform).
Technical Tidbit - January 2011 Using Averaging to Cleanup Scope Waveforms This month's Technical Tidbit details one way of reducing noise in oscilloscope waveforms, averaging. Results and limitations are discussed. Abstract: Noise can contaminate oscilloscope waveforms for a variety of reasons. ESD generated noise is among the worst in this respect. The waveformaveraging function in many oscilloscopes can be used to minimize sometypes of noise in the waveform, especially ESD generated noise. Use of averaging for cleaning up scope waveforms is discussed as well as limitationsof the method.

Chances of finding any particular person there by chance is minuscule as there are 2500 exhibitors and 120,000 people! It dwarfs the IEEEEMC Symposium. Good for consultants to attend though.
