Product testing and software debugging are two of the biggest challenges that embedded systems engineers face when creating a new product. To help streamline the process, embedded systems developers must invest in various types of electronics testing equipment that provide clear and concise feedback and insight into product performance....

It has been over two decades since the iMac G3 became the first mass-market personal computer to incorporate Universal Serial Bus (USB) ports into its design. For those old enough to remember, USB replaced a whole range of serial and parallel ports that were used to connect computer peripherals such as monitors, keyboards, and othe...

The Internet of Things (IoT) consists of everyday devices that connect to each other via the internet or other wireless networks. IoT devices are used in industrial applications and manufacturing, as well as in all types of vehicles and in the home. Despite the widespread deployment of IoT devices, however, little attention has been...
