Accuracy levels enhanced on power analyser
The WT3000E is an enhanced version of Yokogawa’s WT3000 precision power analyser. The specified 45 to 65Hz accuracy for the WT3000E is 0.01% of reading plus 0.03% of range. These figures are based on RMS values rather than waveform peak values. Because power ranges are the multiple of the voltage and current ranges, the actual power measurement error due to an uncertainty of 0.03% of range in a WT3000E is less than 0.01% of range for a...
PXI versatility can enhance 5G testing
At Wimbledon, strawberries and cream were being served up. At the Madejski Stadium, Reading National Instruments was serving up PXI and 5G, as natural a complement says the company as the traditional fare for the tennis folk. Abhay Samant, Section Manager, RF & Wireless Test, makes a compelling case. There is no doubt in his mind that PXI is on the charge.
PXIe signal generator gets 3, 7.5, 13.6 and 25GHz options
The CXA-m PXIe signal analyser, which has a built-in tracking generator, now has 3, 7.5, 13.6 and 26.5GHz options, making it the industry’s first modular stimulus response measurement solution, claims Keysight Technologies. Vector signal analysis capabilities are also now available on the CXA-m by the N9064A VXA X-Series measurement application or 89600 VSA software.
Portable device ushers in low cost signal generation
The SynthHD Dual-channel RF Signal Generator is a portable device that brings low cost to precision microwave signal generation. It is a compact software-tuneable, dual channel RF signal generator which can be controlled by a Windows or Linux PC via its USB port, or run as a standalone generator. Manufactured by Windfreak Technologies, it is available from Saelig.
Simultaneously evaluate a component from five sides
In addition to the software solution ChipControl, which contains a specialised command set for the inspection of various semiconductor parts, EVT now has developed the ready-to-use system ChipEye 5Side, which can be built into the machine to solve a large variety of applications with the already well proven commands. Users can inspect Pin 1, coplanarity, scratches and many more.
Fibre optic thermometer features a 4.3" LCD screen
Reliability and safety the most important attributes in generator and transformer technology. The Optocon AG developed for this purpose the fibre optic thermometer FOTEMPTrafo, that effectively support in these areas. To ensure a constant and guaranteed operational safety, the temperatures are monitored at critical points in transformers and generators permanently.
Sierra Wireless device-to-cloud technology selected by Arval
Sierra Wireless has announced that Arval, a leader in full service vehicle leasing, fleet management and usage-based insurance owned by BNP Paribas, has selected it's device-to-cloud technology to build its new global telematics solution.
One command set for visual control of electronic components
To meet the demands of automated visual inspections in the electronics assembly process, EVT has developed the ChipControl command set. This means that, in the well-proven EyeVision image processing software, there is the option to add the ChipControl command set.
Atomic force microscope boasts fast scan rates
An ultrafast-scanning 9500 atomic force microscope has been unveiled by Keysight Technologies. The Keysight 9500 AFM system integrates new software, a new high-bandwidth digital controller, and a state-of-the-art mechanical design to provide scan rates of up to 2s/frame (256x256 pixels).
