Current Projects

TC-10 is actively developing and/or promoting five major standards: The revision of IEEE Std 181-2003 (Standard on Transitions, Pulses, and Related Waveforms); the promotion of IEEE Std 1057-2007 (Standard for Digitizing Waveform Recorders); the publication of IEEE Std 1241-2000 (Standard for Terminology and Test Methods for Analog-to-Digital Converters); the development of IEEE Std P1658 (Standard for Terminology and Test Methods for Digital-to-Analog Converter Devices; and, the development of IEEE Std P1696 (Standard for Terminology and Test Methods for Electronic Probes).

TC-10 met at IMEKO IWADC 2011 in Orvieto Italy on 30 June 2011. In addition to the usual general meeting a preliminary meeting to form a new subcommittee on jitter (exact name not determined yet) to be chaired by Sergio Rapuano. Links to the minutes of this meeting and the presentation given there will be posted near the bottom of this page until the jitter subcommittee has its own page.
