Test platform passes rigorous NFC approval process
COMPRION’s UT³ Platform has recently been approved by the NFC Forum for Digital Protocol Functional Testing and is now listed on their website in the Approved Test Tool section. After a rigorous validation procedure the solution can be used by manufacturers for NFC Forum conformance testing as well as by authorised laboratories for certification testing of NFC Forum devices.
Test scope accreditation first for automotive Ethernet
RUETZ SYSTEM SOLUTIONS has become the first test house successfully accredited for test scopes for automotive Ethernet and Protocols through the German accreditation body DaaKs (Deutsche Akkreditierungsstelle, Berlin). In their own compliance laboratory, the automotive data communication specialists now perform test scopes for automotive Ethernet and Protocols according to DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025.
8x8mm aperture extends transducer options
LEM has added three new members to its HO series of PCB-through-hole mounting current transducers, which provide an aperture of 8 x 8 mm to carry the primary conductor under measurement, extending the options for this form-factor. The new models, for 6, 10 or 25 A nominal measurements of DC, AC, and pulsed signals benefit from the revised LEM Open-loop Hall-effect ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) introduced several months ago with t...
Windows-based app upgrades debug and test capabilities
Micrium, represented in Germany by Embedded Office has released µC/Probe, Graphical Live WatchV.32. µC/Probe is a Windows-based application that allows engineers to graphically visualise and change the behaviour of embedded systems at run-time. µC/Probe can read from and write to the memory (or I/O) of just about any embedded processor during run-time, and represent those values as a graphical objects: gauges, meters, numeric in...
Software enhancements added to analysis/emulator platform
GL Communications has enhanced its OC-3/STM-1 and OC-12/STM-4 Analysis and Emulation Platform referred to as LightSpeed1000. The platform comes with software for overall monitoring, BERT, emulation, and protocol analysis with a price tag that compares favourably with similar test instruments at three times the price.
Advanced debugging on the menu at Design Developers Conference
German debug tool company Lauterbach will be hosting a half-day workshop entitled, “A Guide to Advanced Debugging” at the design Developers’ Conference series. This workshop will explain and demonstrate how the more advanced debug tools are enabling developers to produce higher performance code, whilst speeding up reliable code development.
RF power meter operates at frequency rnage of 20MHz to 1000MHz
Now available from Link Microtek is a compact RF power amplifier that utilises high-power LDMOS technology to deliver an output of 1kW from an air-cooled 19in. chassis only 5U in height, providing a significant reduction in both size and weight compared with alternative products.
Module meets converged network test requirements
EXFO has unveiled its FTB-8830NGE Power Blazer module. As a test tool for next-generation converged networks its testing capabilities extend to Ethernet, SONET/SDH, OTN, Fibre Channel as well as packet synchronisation (SyncE/1588 PTP). It is designed to meet all the 10G multiservice network testing challenges of today and tomorrow.
High-speed digital symposium tour explores design through verification
Conducted in 10 cities across Europe, from May 20th through to July 3rd, Agilent Technologies has announced a European symposium tour focused on high-speed digital design and test topics. The full-day technology symposium for engineers and project managers is complimentary and will feature presentations from some of the leading providers of FPGA and memory devices.
Disturbance analysis now standard on MXE EMI receiver
Agilent Technologies has added disturbance analyser capabilities as a standard feature of its N9038A MXE EMI receiver. For those who need to make discontinuous-disturbance, or click, measurements, the MXE simplifies and automates data collection, analysis and report generation in accordance with CISPR standards 14-1 (emissions) and 16-1-1 (measurement apparatus and methods).
