    use network analyzer as clock source for eye measurement?

    Thanks for both your information! Yes. I have an old HP 8722C network analyzer up to 20GHz. The max. output is 10dBm. Does it mean the Vpp is sqrt(2*0.01W*50Ohm) = 1V ? I checked a HP 70843A pattern generator which accepts 0.45~0.9V Vpp. So I guess voltage should be okey. VE1BLL, you mentioned...

    use network analyzer as clock source for eye measurement?

    Hi, I am new to communication testing. I want to measure eye diagram for a 10Gb/s optical receiver. The common approach is to feed an optical modulator with PRBS patterns from a pattern generator input from a 10Gb/s clock source and use the optical modulator to modulate optical signal for DUT...

    how to check if my lapack,cbas lib support long double type?

    Thanks for the comments. I am using an open-source 2D semiconductor device (such as CMOS) simulator. It basically solves a system of three non-linear differential equations. I constantly met non-convergence problems. The author suggests to use all relevant libs (e.g. lapack, blas, petsc) double...

    how to check if my lapack,cbas lib support long double type?

    I'm using Debian Lenny. I want to know how I can check if my lapack,cbas lib support long double type. If these libs don't support long double. I need to download the source and re-compile them with long-double option. If I do this, do the compiled new libs overwrite the old libs (which don't...

    Where can I find a downloadable matlab documentation pack

    I always use matlab in a terminal window on Debian Linux to avoid sluggish and buggy java virtual machine. But I found what really bother me is how to look up documentation conveniently since the default documentation coming with matlab can only be opened by java. I know Mathworks has an...

    Si/Ge pieces surface cleaning

    I used to grow materials using UHVCVD on Si wafer. To prepare the wafer, we usually did RCA cleaning followed by N2 spin dry. And the growth was successful. Recently, we want to try some growth on Si/Ge pieces, but have this surface preparation problem. The spin dry machine can only accept 4" or...

    electronic component assembly

    I want to put some electronic device components (i.e. diode laser package, some wires, connectors, ...) together to make a whole device. Do you have any idea what kind of storage or package materials i can use to easily assemble them, by using, like screw, glue, anything... Anyway, i just want...

    how to know the current m-file directory in the mfile

    no. I need to know the current running m-file path dynamically to keep the m-file function has better adaptability when moving the m-file.

    how to know the current m-file directory in the mfile

    i got an ugly way, s = mfilename; s = which(s); then delete the mfile name in the string s.....

    how to know the current m-file directory in the mfile

    no, when pwd used in m-file, it still returns the current work directory of matlab, not the m-file directory itself.

    how to know the current m-file directory in the mfile

    I want to open a file with the path like this [current m-file dir]\file\filename.txt. I found i cannot do like just textread('file\filename.txt'..) in the m-file. so i think i should know the m-file directory itselt first, then do the job. do anyone know how to do this? thank you!

    remote switch

    sorry for the confusion! I don't know this field at all. I am doing some GPIB control for some electronic devices currently, but find the only thing in my whole setup up I cannot remote control is this cryostat. The crystat is an old APD cryogenics. it uses a 208V voltage source and I don't...

    remote switch

    I don't know whether or not it is appropriate to ask here. I want to programmably remote switch on/off a He compressor cryostat machine. I plan to take apart the front panal of the machine, disconnect the circuit behind the "start" button and insert a programmable remote switch device. Is it...

    thermal sensor question

    I have a thermal sensor which is supposed to be Pt RTD, in a vacuum chamber. But I measured the four lead output of the sensor outside the chamber is ~6.5 Ohm in room temperature. But Pt RTD should have a ~100 Ohm resistance in room temperature. Does anybody know any RTD has this range of...

    cannot use matlab engine any longer

    yes, you are right. I found Matlab 7.0 does not supply matlab.h any longer. It uses engine.h instead. In addtion, some .lib are not provided or changed to other names too. I should rewrite some of my codes :(

    cannot use matlab engine any longer

    I just upgraded my matlab from 6.5 (R13) to 7.0 (R14) and I found all my Visual C++ programs in which I used matlab engine to do calculation do not work! Does matlab 7.0 change to way to do matlab engine? Thank you!

    cannot read excel string data

    Okey. I found it out by searching. It is a bug for BIFFREAD function in Matlab release R13. It has been fixed in release R14.

    cannot read excel string data

    When I used xlsread to read a excel file containing both numerical and string data. I got a error in Matlab as follows: Skipping 16 bytes of extended strings. ??? File does not contain valid Excel data. Invalid record ID. Error in ==> E:\MATLAB6p5\toolbox\matlab\iofun\private\biffparse.dll...
