Oscilloscope Series Equipped for Comprehensive Debug, Validation and Documentation
LeCroy Corporation has announced a complete WaveRunner MXi oscilloscope series with models ranging from 400 MHz to 2 GHz. Designed to be the most capable instruments available in their class, each oscilloscope comes standard with a full set of analysis tools including WaveScanTM, an advanced search & analysis feature; WaveStreamTM, a fast viewing mode; and LabNotebook, a unique tool for documentation and report generation.
APC-Hero introduces ambient light sensors
Sharp’s ambient light sensors means stable light measurements at varying temperatures. This range of Optical IC (OPIC) Sensors combines superior spectral response with temperature range stability and curves that match those of the human eye. The resulting linear output measurement is what is naturally expected in any lighting condition; meaning minimum engineering time spent in compensation circuitry. The range includes packages as small as 1....
European calibration service for high-frequency AC power measurements
A new calibration service for high-frequency AC power measurements is now being offered by Yokogawa Europe through its Calibration Centre in Amersfoort, The Netherlands. Based on the development of Yokogawa’s WT3000 precision power analyser the Yokogawa Europe calibration service offers power calibration at DC and AC from 0.1 Hz to 100 kHz. This calibration is traceable to international standards by the accredited NMi (Nederlands Meetinstituut)...
National Instruments Expands C Series Family for High-Performance Data Logging
National Instruments has announced four C Series modules for data-logging applications including vibration/acoustical data logging and in-vehicle, structural, temperature and pressure testing. The NI USB-9219, USB-9229 and USB-9239 provide USB, bus-powered connectivity to the C Series while the NI 9234 AC/DC-coupled dynamic signal acquisition module offers selectable IEPE signal conditioning for engineers measuring high-accuracy audio frequency.
Multifunction Data Acquisition Devices with USB Connectivity from National Instruments
National Instruments has announced a new line of M Series USB data acquisition (DAQ) devices with 18-bit analogue input accuracy at sampling rates up to 625 kS/s. The NI USB-6281 and USB-6289 feature an 18-bit ADC, which provides a 4X increase in resolution over traditional 16-bit devices, equivalent to more than 5½ digits of resolution for DC measurements. These devices also offer enhanced analogue output channels that feature programmable rang...
JTAG/Boundary Scan Platform with new Transceivers for highly complex Boards
GOEPEL electronic, a vendor of JTAG/Boundary Scan solutions compliant with Std. IEEE1149.1, has launched an additional component for its Boundary Scan hardware platform SCANFLEX called SFX-TAP7.
LeCroy Extends Automotive Testing with Physical Layer Test Tool
LeCroy Corporation has introduced a FlexRay physical layer test package that provides eye diagram mask testing and physical layer measurement parameters. These new capabilities combine with LeCroy’s existing FlexRay protocol trigger and decode tools, to make the WaveRunner Xi oscilloscope the most comprehensive oscilloscope-based solution for FlexRay testing available.
Analogue PID controller allows easy user configuration
The new SIM960 analogue PID controller is the latest addition to the SRS SIM (Small Instrumentation Modules) family. SIM is a robust, flexible platform in which up to eight high-performance instruments share the same compact mainframe and computer interface. Unlike other modular systems, both front-panel and computer operation is possible. SIM provides the functionality that users need while avoiding the cost of unnecessary features. Users can co...
SMD Flat Chip Temperature Sensors in Three Standard Chip Sizes
Vishay has announced SMD flat chip temperature sensors that offer advanced thin film technology in three standard chip sizes — 0603, 0805, and 1206. The devices feature short reaction times of ≤5s (in air) and a temperature range from -55°C up to +155°C. Thanks to a highly controlled platinum thin film manufacturing process, these new Vishay Beyschlag flat chip sensors offer an outstanding stability of temperature characteristic of < Â...
Spectrum analyser offers free software upgrade
TTi (Thurlby Thandar Instruments) has extended the feature set of its successful PSA1301T handheld RF spectrum analyser by upgrading the PSAnalyzer software application. Owners of earlier PSA1301T instruments with version 1 software can download version 2 of PSAnalyzer free of charge from the TTi website.
