MobilePC has touchscreen and solid state disk
CAESAR Datasystems QIC CAR PC is designed specifically for mobile operation, offers the ideal platform for both normal data collection from installed sensors, and measurements acquired from CAN, LIN, MOST and FlexRay vehicle bus networks. The rugged construction and wide operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C allow use in extreme environments. The PC can be optionally configured to store data on fixed ‘disks’ using Compact Flash Car...
High Speed Digital I/O Boards for PCI Express
Strategic Test has announced the industry’s fastest Digital Input/Output boards for PCI Express. With up to 32 channels, recording or replay rates to 125 MHz and the possibility to synchronize up to 127 boards, including Digitizers and Arbitrary Waveform Generators, large mixed-mode Automated Test Systems for electronic sub-assemblies and digital semiconductor components can be created.
Compact data logger for remote and portable applications
The Yokogawa Datum Y, a compact data logger for remote and portable applications, is now available in the UK from TTi (Thurlby Thandar Instruments).The Datum Y is a portable data logger that directly measures and acquires temperatures and DC voltages. Two configurations of input terminals offer 8 or 16 channels, and each individual channel can be set independently through insulated inputs.
Low-Cost 6½-Digit Multimeter for PXI from NI
National Instruments has expanded its low-cost digital multimeter offering with the NI PXI-4065, a new 6½-digit multimeter for PXI. The low cost of the PXI-4065 digital multimeter along with its 6½-digit performance offers a new entry point for reliable, high-channel-count data-logging measurement systems. Engineers can combine the new multimeter with more than 150 available NI PXI switch configurations in the low-cost NI PXI-1033 integrated ch...
High performance USB data acquisition modules
Measurement Computing Corporation has announced the release of two high-speed additions to its growing USB product line: the USB-1608HS and the USB-1608HS-2AO. These USB-based DAQ modules provide true simultaneous data capture of up to eight channels of 16-bit single ended or differential analog input at 250 kHz per channel. Both units include 16 bits of digital I/O and an extensive suite of software.
PCI Express Waveform Generators
Strategic Test, one of the world’s leading suppliers of PC-based instrument boards, has announced the availability of what it says is the the world’s first PCI Express based Arbitrary Waveform Generator boards. With synchronous multi-channel capability, the AWG boards are well suited for demanding signal processing applications that include I&Q signal generation, RADAR system development, communications testing, laser positioning, and HDTV s...
CLARE COMBIs PASS THE TEST AT DOMNICK HUNTER
Advanced electrical test technology from Clare Instruments is helping a market-leading manufacturer meet international compliance standards across a diverse range of industrial products.
Fully integrated test system provides error/noise performance characterisation
With the addition of the new G.703 Interface Pod option, the Aeroflex FB100A bit error rate tester can now test a wide range of standardised telecommunications interfaces (from T1 at 1.544 Mbit/s to STS-3 and STM-1 at 155.52 Mbit/s). This improvement greatly increases the variety of equipment on which bit error rate measurements and noise/error characterisation can be made.
Tektronix Tests 20 Gb/s Throughput Infiniband Cable from Intel
Tektronix has announced that it has successfully validated the performance of the new Intel 100 meter Infiniband cable operating at speeds up to 20 Gb/s. The world’s longest InfiniBand optical cable has an electrical interface on either end and uses four serial data lanes at 5 Gb/s each. The cable will be useful in accelerating the performance of large computing clusters. The cables will be used as the part of the backbone network at the Int...
