You’ve seen our T&M Specifications page, haven’t you? Well, it just got smarter. We added behind-the-scenes instruments that don’t necessarily fit into the T&M Specifications categories, but that do show up under ads in Used-Line listing categories.
Ok, we can hear you saying now: What are they talking about?
So, let’s explain.
Here’s how it usually works.
If you visit our Specs page, you’ll find 31 Test & Measurement Categories in which you can perform two tasks:
- Check and compare product specs.
- Find a particular model’s listings on Used-Line.
Let’s choose Signal Generators, for example. You view a table of (currently) 426 models and their specs, such as frequency ranges and output power.
Signal Generators Specs on Used-Line T&M Specs page.
So, let’s pick one. We’ll select the Spanawave (formerly Giga-tronics) 2550B. When we click through we land on a page showing the specifications and a description of the 2550B. (Scroll up to view the 2550B product listings.)
That is the usual case.
Now, what happens if you want to view the specs of an item that we have not showcased on our T&M Specifications page?
What about a resistor, for example?
Resistor, anyone?
A resistor?! You’re right. We do not have a special category for resistors in our T&M Specifications, but we do have the following categories in Used-Line’s listings of resistors ads:
Now, let’s go to Used-Line and search for a Guildline Instruments 9330, a standard resistor whose design meets the need to reduce the typical sources of errors found in older designs – that is:
- Temperature coefficients
- Thermal and electrical time constraints
- Thermal EMF’s
- Voltage and power coefficients
Scroll to the bottom of the 9330 listing results and what do you see?! A paragraph discussing the specifications and features of the 9330 based on the manufacturer’s description!
Now you’re not going to find descriptions of every single product that is advertised for sale on Used-Line.
Yet!
But we’re working on it!
