Test instruments gather in App-based cloud solution
Conrad Business Supplies will stock the complete range of test tools from Fluke that are compatible with the company’s new Fluke Connect free App-based cloud solution. The range extends for the launch to 20 tools and includes infrared cameras, digital multimeters, current, voltage and temperature measurement meters, vibration and insulation testers plus other process tools and accessories.
Interactive remote diagnostics worldwide with Indigo
Beginning with version 4.0 of the diagnostic tester, Vector Informatik is offering users a remote diagnostic solution that is fast and easy to use. On test drives or in foreign production plants, or right at a customer's vehicle in the service shop, the diagnostic expert can access a vehicle, systematically determine the cause of a problem and quickly solve it – without even having to be there physically.
Power quality analysers given remote display upgrade
Power quality analysers from Outram Research have been given advanced functions with an upgrade to their remote display software. Operators can now use a Bluetooth-connected Android smartphone or tablet to view more live waveforms and obtain an immediate indication of network performance even on the company's less powerful models.
All-in-one instrument combines DMM and DC power supply
Amplicon has added Agilent Technologies U3606B combined digital multimeter/DC power supplies to its product range.The instrument is an alternative to using a power source for tests on a device under test (DUT) and a multimeter for power measurements. An alternative to using two separate products, the all-in-one unit combines a 5½ digit digital multi-meter and 30 Watt power supply, which operate simultaneously and independently.
DDR3-DIMM socket test simplified
A new solution for Boundary Scan test of DDR3-DIMM sockets has been developed by GOEPEL electronics. The CION Module SO-DIMM204-3/ECC is simply plugged into the test socket and allows the structural test coverage of DDR3 memory interfaces. All signal pins as well as almost all Ground-Pins can be tested via Boundary Scan.
Xenics Bobcat-640: Smallest SWIR Low Noise CL/GigE Camera Now in Production
Xenics has released its Bobcat-640 to full-qualification production.
Simulation app available to all-comers
Students, hobbyists and engineers can use the new National Instruments Multisim Touch app for iPad to design and simulate circuits using high-fidelity SPICE simulation results identical to the desktop. The fully interactive Multisim Touch is a new addition to the world-class Multisim simulation solution that extends powerful circuit analysis tools to the iPad so users can quickly prove new ideas, design when inspired or complete homework assignme...
Reference Solution boosts antenna measurements
Agilent Technologies has unveiled a multi-channel antenna calibration Reference Solution for calibrating and characterizing large, multi-channel phased-array antennas during integration and manufacturing. This is the second in a series of modular-based Reference Solutions consisting of essential test system components, including hardware, software and measurement expertise.
Transport optimises throughput & shortens cycle time
In modern electronics manufacturing, short cycle times with no quality loss plays a critical role in increasing productivity. The FastFlow concept from Viscom takes this demand into account. The high-speed transport optimizes throughput and shortens cycle time.
All-in-one instrument runs on PCs, iPads
NI has moved into the all-in one instrument market place. It has launched VirtualBench, an instrument that integrates a mixed-signal oscilloscope, function generator, digital multimeter, programmable DC power supply and digital I/O. Users interact with VirtualBench through software applications that run on PCs or iPads.
