GOEPEL electronic upgrades RAPIDO System Series for cost-efficient On-Board Programming
At the 2013 SMT/Hybrid/Packaging show, GOEPEL electronic announced the market introduction of another RAPIDO series inline production system for in-system programming and board test based on the latest Embedded System Access technologies.
Teledyne LeCroy Announces New SFF-8639 Single Port Interposer
Teledyne LeCroy today announced the availability of a SFF-8639 single-port interposer card for analysis of Solid State Drives based on PCI Express protocols. The SFF-8639 Interposer Card, used with a Summit Protocol Analyzer, enables PCIe bus traffic between a host backplane and SSD device to be monitored, captured, and recorded for protocol analysis.
PCI Express Protocol Analysis Drops Below $5,000
Teledyne LeCroy today introduced its most cost-effective PCI Express protocol analyzer with interchangeable interposers for probing. The new compact but feature-packed Summit™ T24 Protocol Analyzer features a small chassis footprint while maintaining the same data analysis features found in the top-of-the-line Summit T3-16 protocol analyzer.
ADLINK's Data Acquisition Applications and ActiveX Controls Library for HMI Now Available for Free Download
ADLINK Technology announces free download availability of AD-Logger, its ready-to-run data capture application, and DAQBench, providing ActiveX controls for creating professional instrumentation applications using ActiveX development environments.
Telonic Explores Switch Mode PSU Noise With Video Demos
An ideal PSU would supply pure DC at its output, with no noise evident. How does this work in the real world? What happens to regulation under load? Noise must be measured correctly to avoid troublesome test results. Showing how to correctly recognise the several sources of noise, Charles an Engineer at Telonic Instruments makes some practical measurements on a typical mains-powered switch mode power supply.
Mek Unveils New AOI Technology Line-up
Mek has announced the release of an entirely new generation of AOI technology to be deployed across a line-up of 4 new Desktop and 3 new In-line inspection machines. Mek’s PowerSpector Series features an entirely new generation of mechanical, camera, sensor, and software technologies that measurably propel the performance of Mek AOI beyond the norm and create new standards for speed, accuracy and inspection strategy.
Multitest Suite for Performing Varied Tests and Data Acquisition on Numerous Electrical Components Used in a Vehicle From One Platform
The biggest advantage is the automated testing and logging of more than four tests with just one system. The architecture of the application is scalable; hence, the number of tests can be easily increased. Previously, such tests were carried out using printed circuit boards with the manpower required to intermittently run performance checks. This step has now been completely eliminated. - Priyanka Chaudhary, VE Commerical Vehicles Limited
Newtons4th Launch Portable IEC60076-18 Transformer Tester
The Queen’s Award winning Newtons4th has launched the SFRA45, a handheld instrument designed especially for field testing the frequency response of step down transformers against the standards laid down in IEC60076-18.
Simultaneously Stress Test Networks And Diagnose Issues In Real-Time
Fluke Networks announce a new version of the OptiView XG v10 Network Analysis Tablet that allows users to simultaneously stress test and diagnose network problems in real-time, as well as a new iPhone App, called HeadsUp XG, that receives instant notifications of issues identified by the tablet. Simultaneous testing is key to quickly isolating intermittent network performance issues, a top concern of more than 75 percent of IT professionals.
Enhanced DC LISN from Teseq Measures Disturbances at Higher Current
Teseq now offers a high current impedance stabilization network for measuring conducted emissions disturbances on DC power ports of photovoltaic inverters. The DC-LISN-M2-100, which conforms to the latest requirements of the international standard working group MT GCPC (grid connected power conditioners), can run at a maximum operating current of 150 A for 30 minutes, or continuously at 100 A.
