Does the trend in the test and measurement industry toward more modular architectures bring with it an increased danger that noise and other errors could creep in? It can, according to an article in EDN. One possible noise source is DC-to-DC converters, increasingly being used.
If you design modular test equipment, check out the article, which outlines ways to use magnetic field measurements to track down and eliminate noise from DC-to-DC converters.
