Computer Based InstrumentsPCI Express series extended with 2-channel, 125 MS/s 8-bit Arbitrary Waveform GeneratorStrategic Test has announced the UF2e-6110 two-channel 125 MS/s 8-bit Arbitrary Waveform Generator (AWG) PCI Express card. With synchronous multi-channel capability, the AWG card is well suited for creating complex waveforms in applications that include I&Q signal generation, RADAR system development, communications testing, laser positioning, and HDTV signal generation. 
12-bit digitizer / oscilloscope card for PCI Express from Stategic TestStrategic Test Corp has announced the UF2e-3027 digitizer / oscilloscope PCI Express card. The card has two 100 MS/s 12-bit ADCs for simultaneous sampling and up to 2 GigaSamples of on-board memory so that signal lengths of up to 10 seconds can be recorded when both channels are operating at maximum rates. Unique features of the UF2e-3027 include the options for dual-timebase sampling, synchronous digital inputs, asynchronous digital I/O and the possibility to synchronize up to 542 channels. 
National Instruments and LEGO Group Announce New Version of LEGO® MINDSTORMS® NXT Robotics SoftwareNational Instruments and the LEGO Group has announced the latest software update for the popular LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT robotics invention system. Powered by the National Instruments LabVIEW graphical programming environment, LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT software Version 1.1 now provides support for the Windows Vista operating system and Intel-based Macintosh computers in addition to improving memory usage on the NXT Intelligent Brick. 
Keithley Announces New Software Platform for RF Waveform GenerationKeithley Instruments, Inc. announces the release of SignalMeister™ Waveform Creation Software for Keithley's award-winning line of RF vector signal generators. Keithley's SignalMeister is a free, PC-based software tool that creates arbitrary waveform (ARB) files that can be downloaded to Keithley's Model 2910 RF Vector Signal Generator. SignalMeister is an expandable software platform with a common user interface that allows integration of multiple signal creation libraries with flexibility to handle multiple signal standards as they become available. 
Application Programming Interface for PC OscilloscopePico Technology, worldwide leaders in the design and manufacture of PC Oscilloscopes, has launched an Application Programming Interface for the PicoScope 5000 series scopes to allow you to write your own software for the devices. The PicoScope 5000 series PC Oscilloscopes are Pico's top-performing scopes, with the world's fastest real-time sampling rate, for a USB PC scope, of 1 GS/s. This, together with a probe-tip bandwidth of 250 MHz, makes them ideal for use with high-speed analogue and digital signals. The scope's huge memory buffer — either 32 M or 128 M samples depending on the version — ensures that the high sampling rate can be used on a wide range of timebases without losing detail. Digital I/O option allows Oscilloscope and AWG cards to control external equipmentStrategic Test has announced the BaseXIO option for the company's series of UltraFast Oscilloscope and Arbitrary Wafeform Generator (AWG) cards. The new low-cost option adds eight asynchronous TTL channels to the PCI card. While an additional PC connector panel is provided, OEM's that integrate the UltraFast card within a larger system can route the digital cables internally for maximum convenience. Ultrafast Digital Pattern Generator PCI boards with up to 32 Gigabit on-board memoryStrategic Test has released four new Digital Pattern Generator boards for PC's with up to 32 Gigabit memory, maximum clock rates of 40 MHz, 10 MHz or 5 MHz, and a choice of 16- or 32-bit widths. Uniquely, each 4-bit can be programmed with a different HIGH and LOW output level from –2 V to +10 V in 10 mV increments. This output range can generate signals compatible with ECL, PECL, TTL, LVDS, LVTTL, CMOS and LVCMOS. Compared to traditional instruments, the UF2-7200 series is less expensive, easier to use and eliminates the need for multiple instruments to produce different signal levels. 
Allegro MicroSystems Europe develops new simulation software for automotive sensorsEngineers at the Allegro MicroSystems Europe Sensor Applications Centre in Annecy, France, have developed a software simulator for the company's automotive Hall-effect sensors that has dramatically reduced development times and eased interaction with customers. 
PC-based 3MHz to 3GHz Vector Network AnalysersA fully-functioned, low cost Vector Network Analyser duo, designed and manufactured in the UK by LA Techniques Ltd, is now available from specialist instrument distributor and service company, Aspen Electronics. 8 channel 3 MS/s 16-bit A/D Digitizer cards for PC’sStrategic Test Corp has released twelve new Digitizer cards in its UF2-4600 series. Using multiple 16-bit ADC's for true simultaneous sampling, the cards are available with a choice of maximum sampling rates from 200 kS/s to 3 MS/s and 2, 4 or 8 channel configurations - enabling the user to select the most cost-effective solution. 
National Instruments Brings Engineers from CAD to Motion in MinutesNational Instruments has released NI Motion Assistant 2.0, the latest version of the interactive software for prototyping single- and multi-axis motion control systems. Machine builders and OEMs can use the new NI Motion Assistant 2.0 to import motion profiles from CAD and drafting programs using the popular DXF file format. 
Universal programmer combines ease of operation with high-speed USB interfaceThe new All-100 universal and gang programmer, available from Computer Solutions, is a versatile, high-speed unit for programming virtually every type of device with a programmable memory or configuration including EPROM, EEPROM, FLASH, PLD/CPLD/FPGA, microcontrollers, BPROM and Serial PROM. NI's Instrument Driver Network tops 5000 driversNational Instruments now offers more than 5,000 drivers through the NI Instrument Driver Network (www.ni.com/idnet), the industry's largest source for instrument drivers. With support and connectivity for the latest instruments and communication buses, National Instruments LabVIEW and LabWindows/CVI continue to provide engineers consistent, high-level programming interfaces for remotely controlling their stand-alone instruments.
