About This Webinar
When it comes to analyzing periodic signals, selecting the appropriate measurement tool is crucial for achieving accurate and meaningful results. Gustavo Ciardi of Zurich Instruments delves into the theory behind two powerful techniques, lock-in amplification and boxcar averaging, to help individuals make informed decisions in their measurement endeavors. Additionally, he shares how to gain a deeper understanding of the techniques’ strengths, weaknesses, and the scientific contexts in which they excel. He aims to empower attendees with the knowledge needed to maximize signal-to-noise ratio, ensuring the highest precision in measurements.
Ciardi focuses on turning theory into practice by discussing the theory behind lock-in-amplifiers and boxcar averagers and when and where to apply each technique effectively. He then addresses maximizing signal-to-noise ratio to discover strategies to optimize measurement that ensures the highest precision and clarity of results. Finally, he presents a live demonstration of the power of digital instruments to showcase real-time applications of both boxcar averaging and lock-in amplifiers. This demonstration shows how these tools can unlock valuable insights from periodic signals, making research more efficient and effective.
