Software enhances productivity of test developers
TestStand 2016, the latest version of NI’s test management software focuses on helping the more than 10,000 current users to further increase their productivity while also helping to ensure the initial success of new developers.
OTDR module enhances fibre network tester
A tri-wavelength OTDR module has been introduced for Anritsu’s Network Master Pro MT1000A portable optical tester that provides field engineers and technicians with a test tool to verify fibre lines in core, metro, and mobile networks. The new module supports high dynamic range at all wavelengths, including 1625 nm, which allows the MT1000A to conduct “extra sensitive” tests to ensure the performance of today’s high-bandwi...
Front haul solution conducts fast RF/fibre tests
Leveraging its fibre and RF testing capability, Anritsu says that it has developed the industry’s fastest comprehensive front haul test solution that more efficiently ensures the proper installation and operation of high-speed LTE networks. With the CPRI RF module installed in the Network Master Pro MT1000A, wireless carrier engineers and technicians responsible for optical fibre testing and solving interference/PIM issues have a single han...
Highlighting continuous security testing
Over the past few years, the application development and deployment landscape has experienced significant changes, and these, along with the other more gradual changes that are occurring on a daily basis, have empowered organisations, as well as developers, to push applications faster than ever before. The concept of continuous security testing, in this regard, is rather straightforward.
Six-channel power analyser accommodates three-phase systems
The WT1800E power analyser from Yokogawa Europe introduces new standards of accuracy and flexibility in power measurement across a broad range of applications. Today’s energy conscious world is driving engineers towards an ever-increasing focus on energy conservation, energy efficiency and renewable energy. Engineers seeking to improve their product through better energy management therefore need more accurate power measurement.
PXI instruments target mil/aero applications
The Astronics PXIe-6943 Digital Test Instrument, Astronics PXIe-3352 Rubidium Clock Source and Astronics PXIe-1209 Pulse Pattern Generator are the latest products from NI and Astronics’ collaboration to provide PXI-based instruments with test program set-(TPS-) compatible software for existing VXI instruments.
Analysers paired to streamline SoundWave audio test
A collaboration between Audio Precision and LnK will address the SoundWire audio test needs of MIPI Alliance member companies by Combining an APx Series audio analyser with LnK’s protocol analyser creates a closed-loop measurement system for the real-time evaluation of chipset and mobile product designs incorporating MIPI’s SoundWire interface.
Defence firm orders mixed signal test system
The GENASYS high-performance mixed-signal test system platform from Marvin Test Solutions has been selected to assure mission readiness of audio, video, and communications systems and other critical electronics for state-of-the-art armored infantry vehicles for an international military customer.
Data acquisition protects smart grid equipment
In an effort to enhance smart grid equipment monitoring in order to protect equipment from harmful system faults and improve power delivery to residences and businesses, Analog Devices, Inc (ADI) has announced a new data acquisition system (DAS).
Improving the commercial viability of printed circuits
Using Raman spectroscopy, the UK’s National Physical Laboratory (NPL) has developed a new, non-destructive method of measuring the three dimension orientation of molecules in an organic semiconductor transistor. This will create a new, faster and more flexible method of measuring the efficiency of electrical conductivity in a printed circuit.
