Pico Technology has added four functions to the software that supports its display-less PC oscilloscopes, including rise-time and fall-time triggering, decode for the automotive PSI5 bus, measurement logging and the ability to nudge the host PC if waveforms fall outside set parameters. “The new features are designed to empower engineers who are debugging, characterising and verifying operational reliability of complex ...

Distrelec, a trading brand of RS, is to distribute KPS test and measurement instruments for sale throughout Europe. KPS provides professional installers, electricians and technicians with products and solutions. The Distrelec portfolio now includes a new DCM clamp meter that is manufactured in Europe. The DCM3000 is a versatile clamp meter ideal for a wide range of electrical applications, including ...

Distributor, Telonic Instruments has introduced the SDS7000A range of oscilloscopes. The Siglent range is designed for acquisition and analysis of high frequency complex signals for telecomms, high speed digital and wireless technologies development. The SAS7000A oscilloscopes offer 12-bit vertical resolution that not only enables the precise imaging of high-frequency signals, but also offers fine differentiation in vertical detection, said Telonic. ...

Siglent has a new flagship in its oscilloscope range, with 4GHz bandwidth, 12bit resolution and 20Gsample/s. SDS7404A, as it will be known, has four analogue channels and 16 digital channels, and a noise floor is as low as 220μVrms at 4GHz bandwidth. At 20Gsample/s, ENOB (effective number of bits) is typically 7.3bit (50Ω, 50mV/div, -1dBFS/47.999MHz input). 20Gsample/s is only available ...

Audio Precision has introduced a test instrument with two analogue audio generator/analyser channels and a swappable digital channel to address multiple data standards. “A standout feature of the APx516B is its capability to bridge analog and digital audio testing,” according to the company. The “digital interface module slot is compatible with all current and future Audio Precision digital audio I/O ...

Spectrum Instrumentation has introduced a way to parallel its 12bit 10Gsample/s data acquisition cards up to eight channels, that can also produce 16 12bit channels at 5Gsample/s. Called Star-Hub, it works with the company’s recently introduced M5i.33xx series of PCIe digitisers. “The Star-Hub option is installed by mounting a single piggyback module onto any of the M5i series cards in ...

Rigol Technologies has added 12bit oscilloscopes to its line-up, with a compact design which is flexible to use for both on-site and desktop testing”, according to the company. DHO900 oscilloscopes (right) have four analogue channels 16 digital channels and are available in 125 or 250MHz bandwidths, with or without an arbitrary waveform generator and Bode plot capability. Shared between the ...

For coastal and mountainous terrain, Anritsu has added an up-link interference measurement to its some of its portable 5G and LTE TDD testers. At issue are stray signals carried long distances into cells where they interfere with the TDD up-link. The company explained: For 5G networks with a coastal or mountainous terrain, RF down-link transmissions readily become subject to atmospheric ...

For the US market, TiePie has created a 915MHz version of the module that allows multiple instances if its PC oscilloscopes to be used together at up to 400m range – a 868MHz version for Europe was introduced in July. Wireless Multi Instrument Synchronization Module WCMI-9 also allows instruments to be used where galvanic isolation is required. The scopes can ...

TDK is aiming at motor testing with the introduction of a power sinking option to 1.7 and 3.4kW models of its Genesys+ 1U-high rack-mount dc power supplies – it is only available for 0-20, 0-30, 0-40, 0-60 or 0-100V output versions. Mounted internally, the sink module (photo below) can absorb 100W continuously and 300W of peak, and fall time can ...
