AXIe digitiser delivers high density modular solution
The M9707A 8-bit, high speed digitiser from Keysight Technologies provides 32 synchronous channels of 1 GS/s sampling in a single module. The digitiser is aimed at multichannel applications in advanced physics experiments such as hydrodynamics, plasma fusion (Tokamak/Stellarator), particle physics and microwave astronomy.
Collaboration delivers pull-thru adapter
The PXI 1149/VPC(x) is a pull-thru adapter, developed by a collaboration between Goepel Electronics and the Peak Group. It ensures outstanding signal quality in the interface between Goepel’s PXI/PXIe SCANFLEX Boundary Scan controllers and test fixtures. It completely eliminates the complication of any kind of manual wiring in the configuration of the interface.
USB measurement system aimed at acoustic test
The VIBbox is a portable solution for test and measurement tasks with high channel count. With 64 IEPE/ICP sensor inputs, eight analogue outputs and four tachometer inputs as well as a multitude of digital I/O channels and counter/timers, the USB measurement system from Data Translation is ideal for acoustic and vibration analysis applications.
Log video amplifiers cover 0.5-18GHz multi-octave bandwidths
A line of broadband log video amplifiers, covering multi-octave bandwidths from 0.5 to 18GHz, has been released by Pasternack. The line includes four successive detection log video amplifiers and one detector log video amplifier, which offer a wide input dynamic range, high signal sensitivity, fast recovery times and outstanding temperature stability.

Programmable AC power source outputs 300VA
A new AC power source, the model 9801, has been launched by B& K Precision, expanding its AC power supply offerings. This compact 19in. half-rack single-phase AC source outputs up to 300 VA and measures AC power characteristics. Users can operate the AC source in a 0-300 V continuous sweep range or 150 V/300 V auto-switching range with adjustable start and stop phase angle control.
Radar development kit enables easy speed & distance sensing
Sivers IMA has announced the launch of a Radar Development Kit (RDK), an easy-to-use platform for those who need to measure distance or speed of an object. The RDK from Sivers IMA is built for quick out-of-box setup, enabling the customer to start elaborating and optimising the right parameters of the targeted object within a detection zone.
WiFi sensors with enlarged batteries last twice as long
WiFi data logging sensors with extended battery life have been introduced by FilesThruTheAir, a trademark of Corintech. The seven XL sensors feature an enlarged lithium polymer battery pack, which doubles the expected battery life.
Test rectifier targets ICCP installation sites
A rugged and portable test rectifier has been unveiled by Astrodyne TDI. It is designed to test impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) installation sites. Weighing less than 25 pounds and housed in a durable, compact case, this new unit can easily be carried into the field for testing.
Options enhance DC power supplies performance
Four performance options have been added to the Advanced Power System (APS) N6900 series DC power supplies by KeysightTechnologies. In conjunction with the power supply’s VersaPower architecture, the new options boost test-system versatility and make it easy for test engineers to tune power supply capability.
