Abstract: A system for calibration management is described. The system includes at least one measurement instrument for testing a device under test and a monitoring device. The monitoring device is connected with the measurement instrument. The monitoring device collects parameters from the measurement instrument during the testing. The monitoring device creates a calibration fingerprint based on the parameters collected, which is indicative of the calibration status of the measurement instrument. The system includes an interface via which information based on the calibration fingerprint is outputted, indicating if a new calibration of the measurement instrument is necessary or not. Further, a method of managing calibration of a measurement instrument is described.

Abstract: A data storage system is described with a persistent status display. In one example, the system has an external housing, a persistent display attached to the exterior of the housing, a display controller within the housing coupled to the display to write status data to the display, a memory array to store data within the housing, a memory controller within the housing to control the operation of the memory array and to determine a status of the memory array, the memory controller being coupled to the display controller to send status data to the display controller to write to the display, and an exterior connector coupled to the memory controller to send data from the memory to an external device.

Abstract: A method and a device for determining a trigger condition for presenting a registered signal on a display of an oscilloscope on the basis of a rare signal event in the registered signal. The method and device determines a level-based and/or time-based distribution of frequencies of occurrence from level-based and/or time-based parameters determined from sampled values of the registered signal in a specified corresponding level-raster and/or time raster, and compares the determined level-based and/or time-based distribution of frequencies of occurrence with a previously given corresponding level-based and/or time-based reference-distribution of frequencies of occurrence. A first trigger condition is determined dependent upon an identified difference between corresponding level-based and/or time-based distribution of frequencies of occurrence and corresponding level-based and/or time-based reference-distribution of frequencies of occurrence.

Abstract: These present disclosure provides techniques to determine the capacitance of a power loss capacitor based on voltage ripple. The power loss capacitor may be a power loss capacitor for a power loss shutdown system of a solid state drive. The capacitance may be determined as a function of the voltage ripple and a period of the voltage ripple during a natural discharge and a controlled discharge of the power loss capacitor.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus related to authenticating and/or detecting defect(s) in SSDs (or other electronic components) based on information from an RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) tag are described. In one embodiment, non-volatile memory stores one or more parameters corresponding to an electronic component. Logic then reports the one or more parameters to a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) reader device while the electronic component is powered off or not operational. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.
