Arbitrary signal generators feature 125 MSa/s sample rate
Two new Arbitrary/Function Signal Generators, the SFG-205 and SFG-210 have been added to its line of educational and industrial test instruments by Global Specialties.The SFG-20X Series are single channel function/arbitrary waveform generators, capable of generating either a 5MHz sine wave (SFG-205) or a 10MHz sine wave (SFG-210).
Measuring solvent vapour permeability
Water and other vapours can permeate through the actual fabric of adhesives or mastics, sometimes in large volume. This can cause a huge variety of adhesion problems, including failure – water and its vapour are now thought to be the world’s most damaging contaminant.
500MHz switch card added to functional test platform
Two new products have been added to the GENASYS functional test platform by Marvin Test Systems (MTS). Building on the performance architecture of the GENASYS switching subsystem, MTS has added the GX7017 Integrated GENASYS Chassis to the GENASYS product line providing digital, analogue and high performance switching capability within a single, compact, 6U PXI chassis footprint.
Low noise filter expands power source output range to 500mA
A new high current ultra-low noise filter for Keysight Technologies’ B2961A and B962A 6.5 digit Low Noise Power Source can supply up to 500 mA while maintaining 10 µVrms and 1nVrms/√Hz (at 10 kHz) noise performance. With a starting price of less than $10K, the B2961A and B2962A are claimed to be the world’s only low-cost standalone power sources capable of sourcing at ultra-low noise levels.
Handheld wireless tester has 802.11ac capability
The next generation of the AirCheck handheld wireless tester has been released by Netscout Systems. The tool is available through Netscout’s CONNECT360 global channel partner program, and includes important new enhancements, such as troubleshooting and diagnosing Wi-Fi networks built using the increasingly adopted 802.11ac standard, access point backhaul testing, and free access to the Link-Live Cloud dashboard for more effective results ma...
Comms module boosts data logger performance
IPETRONIK is offering the new communication module COMgate V3 for wireless data transmission in accordance with 4G and LTE standards for its M-LOG V3 data logger. The hardware system is complemented by the IPEcloud web portal, which supports high-speed and secure remote data transmission through to smart fleet management.
Multimeter/thermal imaging camera combo increases productivity
The range of Fluke electrical test and measurement devices and thermal imagers at RS Components has been extended with the addition of a new thermal multimeter and a series of industrial ScopeMeters. Ideal for electrical installation engineers working in factory automation and site-safety maintenance, the Fluke 279FC is a two-in-one product with a fully featured digital multimeter and integrated thermal imaging camera.
Pulse analyser gets software and hardware upgrades
Ultra-short pulses in the order of femtoseconds and picoseconds are finding their way into various industrial applications from micromachining to optical sensing and imaging. Due to their extremely short time duration, they cannot be characterised using electrical test and measurement tools. Frequency-Resolved Optical Gating (FROG) technique uses autocorrelation of the pulses itself to characterise its intensity and phase profile, giving you a co...
Software cooperation extends GNSS support
To expand its GNSS support, IZT has cooperated with TeleOrbit, the marketing & sales unit of TeleConsult Austria. To enable the generation of GNSS signals provided by the GIPSIE software from TeleOrbit to be integrated into the feature set of the IZT S1000 signal generator. The signal generator with its broad frequency range and the Virtual Signal Generator (VSG) channels enables the similar generation of various GNSS standards in one device ...
