Debug probe raises benchmark in tracing
Trace probe performance levels have been improved by Segger’s J-Trace PRO, an advanced tracing solution that utilises state-of-the-art J-Link technology, in combination with a Gigabit Ethernet interface, in order to present engineers with an ultra-fast probe for unlimited streaming trace.
Software introduction cuts test times
A new software package enables development teams to automate all test activities, shorten test times, and generate real-time metrics on release readiness. The VectorCAST/QA from Vector Software integrates with an organisation’s existing build system and test infrastructure to collect key metrics such as code complexity, frequency of code changes, test case status, and code coverage information.
Oscilloscope offers multi-domain operation
Rohde & Schwarz presents the R&S RTO2000, a compact lab oscilloscope for multi-domain applications. The company claims that, when using it to check advanced embedded designs, developers are able to analyse how sophisticated functional units such as power supplies, the processor system and the sensor technology interact. The R&S RTO2000 displays the correlations between time, frequency, protocol and logic analysis measurement results l...
CETECOM launches the Open Lab Alliance
On February 12, the Open Lab Alliance (OLA) opened its doors with a grand opening at the CETECOM laboratory in Milpitas, California. The OLA provides real world in-lab test scenarios necessary for developing connected vehicle subsystems and applications. It is hosted by a highly accredited test laboratory and is comprised of industry-leading test and measurement companies, roadside unit (RSU) suppliers, and simulation system tool providers that d...

Companies collaborate on telematics control units
Sierra Wireless has announced that Valeo has selected smart automotive modules from Sierra Wireless for a new gen of telematics control units to enable connected car services internationally. The first deployment of the Valeo and Sierra Wireless telematics solution will be in vehicles built by the global automaker Geely for the Russian market.
MWC 2016: Tester option supports EVS codec
The R&S CMW500 wideband radio communication tester from Rohde & Schwarz has a new option to support the EVS codec. EVS, which was specifically designed for broadband voice calls in mobile communications systems such as LTE, noticeably improves the audio quality of phone calls. In Barcelona, Rohde & Schwarz demonstrates a test solution based on the R&S CMW500 and the R&S UPV audio analyser.
Software platform eases mobile network optimisation
Mobile network operators have to continuously optimise and troubleshoot their networks to ensure performance and to get the most out of their infrastructure. Drive tests are the most effective way to collect accurate location based information for this purpose, but they are a cost factor for network operation.
