I work with many meters in my life time my favorite always has been Fluke meters, so for this post I am going to talk about the Fluke 87V MAX True-rms Digital Multi meter, it contains all the trusted features of the most popular digital multi meter used today meters. The 87V MAX is built with an industrial strength case and a removable holster. The holster doubles as a test probe holder, and can be used for one-handed operation.

 

Also the holster can withstands drops up to 4-meters (13 feet). The 87V MAX is waterproof and dust proof, to work reliably in the toughest of conditions, and can withstands heat and cold. The meter has an extended operating temperature range of +55 °C, down to -40 °C, for up to 20 minutes. Below is a list of some of the features I took from Flukes website:

 

“- Measure up to 1000 V ac and dc

 - Measure up to 10 A (20 A for 30 seconds)

 - Built-in thermometer conveniently allows you to take temperature readings without having to

 - Large display digits, 2-level bright white backlight and backlit keypad buttons for increased

   visibility

Tonight I found a new topic to post about, RF over fiber optics link, the device I would like to talk about in the EMCORE’s 5200 Series, 3 GHz and 6.5 GHz Fiber Optic Links.

EMCORE’s 5200 Series, 3 GHz and 6.5 GHz Fiber Optic Inter-Facility Links are a high-performance, cost-effective alternative to coaxial cable for any 20 MHz to 6500 MHz communications applications. The device is a fiber optic transmitter and receiver, can pair for applications where high-performance under demanding conditions is critical, three links below with more information.

Video from Drupalcamp New Jersey, talking about how to managing your Drupal Project using composer. Composer is a tool for dependency management in PHP. It allows you to declare the libraries your project depends on and it will manage (install/update) them for Drupal users. Drupal uses Composer to manage libraries, with 3rd party libraries, that Drupal depends on.  Link below to a video title “The Composer Workflow,” from one of the sessions at the 2020 Drupal Camp New Jersey.
