It's sad how bad the electronics press has become.

they just need something to space out the ads, the article was written by a "Solution Architect for Battery Testing, Electronic Industrial Solutions Group, at Keysight Technologies. "

Good golly, Miss Molly, I'm sure glad he put in that table. Ohm's law makes my head hurt. The guy works at _Keysight_. "How are the mighty fallen." Or maybe it's their customers.

I'll bet that "solution architect" has a performance review objective, and ED hasn't got much source material to choose from. The old concept of "least publishable unit" is alive and kicking :(

He might have added the equivalent discharge time constants, rounded to the nearest century.

I also love the ritual "11 myths about..." and "What you need to know about..." and lectures about how hard electronics is. I wonder how he got that crud into his DVM. Maybe a month in the trash under a freeway overpass? Maybe his office still has gas lighting. -- John Larkin Highland Technology, Inc Science teaches us to doubt. Claude Bernard

Did you notice that the author's name has all the letters necessary to spell Bozo?

It's hard to believe that this is a serious article.

Rofl, such contempt :-). Last time I checked, a lot of Keysight test gear was running Windoze under the hood, not even embedded Linux, or a real time os like VxWorks. Old and quality HP test gear, such as the 16700 analysers, were running HP-UX and you could ssh login into a unix shell with a few tweaks, or even point a browser at it for remote display. Still, I guess their lunch is being eaten by China IP ripoff tactics. How can they complete with such prices ?. Use home grown or lose it... Chris

Back when, I had a short email exchange with Bob Pease about one of my greatest inventions (or least pitiful inventions). He liked it enough to show his brother or somebody. But then I babbled on about "Electronic Design" being better named "Electronics Design". I just love to (unintentionally) annoy authority.
