National Instruments Redesigns CompactRIO
National Instruments has unveiled a completely redesigned cRIO-9068 software-designed controller that maintains full NI LabVIEW and I/O compatibility with the CompactRIO platform. The controller integrates the Xilinx Zynq-7020 All Programmable system on a chip (SoC), which combines a dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor and Xilinx 7 Series FPGA fabric.
eBook Addresses DDR Memory Test Problems
ASSET InterTech has published a new eBook on how to test DDR memory with non-intrusive JTAG or boundary-scan (IEEE 1149.1) methods. A recent survey of engineers by the International Electronics Manufacturing Initiative (iNEMI) found that testing memory soldered to circuit boards is a major problem for system manufacturers.
100 A, 3-phase Burst Pulse CDN for EFT Testing
Teseq now offers a 100A, 3-phase burst pulse coupling/decoupling network (CDN) designed for electrical fast transient (EFT) or burst testing that is ideal for use in the power and telecom industries. It can carry out applications that require higher AC and DC voltages as well as high inrush or pulse-shaped peak currents like those found in renewable energy.
Bench-Top Digital Multimeter Available at Amplicon
Amplicon’s Measurement & Control division has introduced the Agilent 34450A benchtop 5½ digits Digital Multimeter. It is capable of measuring up to 190 readings per second with 0.015% DC Voltage (DCV) accuracy.

Rapid Correction of Errors in Automobiles Thanks to DIANA Research Project
From 2015 onwards, the time that automobiles will need to spend in the repair shop could be significantly decreased. This will be possible thanks to joint research work undertaken by AUDI, Continental, Infineon Technologies and ZMDI. In the DIANA project, the companies have focused their research on ways of improving the analytical and diagnostic ability in electronic control units (ECUs) in vehicles. In three years of research under Infineon&rsq...
