Strategic Test Corp has announced the UF2e-2031 oscilloscope PCI Express card. The UF2e-2031 has four 100 MS/s 8-bit ADC’s that are also able to operate in an interpolated mode to acquire two channels at 200 MS/s for increased versatility. Drivers for Microsoft Windows Vista, XP64, XP and Linux (RedHat, Fedora, SuSe, Sarge) are supplied with the card, as well as the SBench 5.3 oscilloscope program.

The LA-Gold-36 high performance logic analyser with an integrated pattern generator has a large data buffer of 1 Mega samples per channel for sampling rates of up to 1 GHz on all 32 channels. The large buffer allows long capture times at high sampling rates. The digital logger function is for capturing very slow varying signals, e.g. room temperature.

Aeroflex, and Sequans Communications, a leading developer of WiMAX semiconductor solutions, have entered into a test technology partnership for WiMAX. Within the context of the technology partnership, the two companies will collaborate closely to further speed the ongoing development of their respective WiMAX test and WiMAX semiconductor solutions.

Strategic Test has announced the availability of the UF2e-3132 oscilloscope / digitizer PCI Express card. The UF2e-3132 has eight 25 MegaSamples/s 12-bit ADC’s for simultaneous sampling without time-skew errors and up to 2 GigaSamples onboard memory. Streaming to a host PC is supported to the maximum transfer rate of the PCI Express x1 bus.

Tektronix has announced an end-to-end high speed serial data analysis software package with test capabilities extending from a transmitter to a receiver and including the connecting channel. The new 80SJNB Advanced software runs on the Tektronix DSA8200 Digital Serial Analyzer. 80SJNB Advanced combined with the DSA8200 platform’s TDR/TDT and S-Parameter support through iConnect software provides engineers with the first complete Serial Data L...

Aeroflex has announced that it has added an internal pulse modulator capability to its 6810 and 6820 Series microwave signal generators and scalar analyzers. The Aeroflex 6800 Series with internal pulse modulator is the only self-contained, single-box radar testing solution on the market. The instruments can perform advanced radar testing, calibration, maintenance and repair in either coaxial or waveguide media.

TTi (Thurlby Thandar Instruments) has extended its PSA-T Series of low-cost highly portable RF spectrum analysers with the launch of the PSA2701T. The new model has a frequency range of 1 MHz to 2700 MHz and a selling price of £995 (plus VAT). As well as being lower in cost, it is considerably smaller, lighter, and lower power than other RF spectrum analyser currently available. Despite this, it offers a high-resolution (480 x 320 pixel) backli...

National Instruments has announced what it says is the industry’s first 80-channel USB data acquisition devices, new BNC USB M Series devices and a new USB-9237 C Series module. The complete NI USB data acquisition offering now spans more than 45 devices with single-channel sampling rates of up to 1.25 MS/s, analogue generation of up to 2.86 MHz and correlated digital I/O of more than 1 MHz for low-, mid- and high-channel-count applications.

Just announced by specialist instrumentation distributor, Aspen Electronics, is a 3GHz spectrum analyser. The GSP 830, manufactured in Taiwan by GW Instek, is well suited to a range of measurement applications in manufacturing, installation and field service, EMI testing and education sectors. R&D labs will also find it a cost effective tool, as it has suitable phase noise performance.

National Instruments has announced the release of the NI PXIe-5672, an RF vector signal generator that delivers signal generation from 250 kHz to 2.7 GHz, 20 MHz of instantaneous bandwidth and real-time data streaming at up to 25 MS/s. The NI PXIe-5672 also features a PXI Express interface that makes it possible to stream data from hard disk or PC memory at the full output rate of the instrument. The NI PXIe-5672 is compatible with all NI PXI, PX...
