Tektronix 2 Series Oscilloscope Enables Students to Build a Solar Car

Every two years, the Bridgestone World Solar Challenge sees solar-powered vehicles race against each other across the Outback of Australia. In October, more than 40 vehicles made the 3,000km journey from Darwin in northern Australia to Adelaide in the south. The race was won by the reigning world champions, Innoptus Solar Team from Belgium, giving themselves a competitive edge by using a 2 Series Mixed Signal Oscilloscope from Tektronix to help their vehicle achieve maximum efficiency.
