TTi adds value to RF power measurement
Now available from TTi is the TTi Satori range of high-performance USB based RF power measurement sensors. Their introduction follows the acquisition of the range from their original developers, Satori Technology. The initial product range will consist of the ST Series of 12.4 GHz, 18.5 GHz and 26.5 GHz USB power sensors. These devices are complete miniature power meters, each containing a CPU that controls the sensor, processes the measurement r...
20 MHz function generator from TTi
TTi has updated its low-cost 20 MHz function generator, the TG2000, with new drivers to give improved USB performance under Windows Vista whilst retaining compatibility with earlier Windows versions. Other changes include a new display with improved brightness and contrast.
Remote-control power supplies are web enabled from TTi
The New PL-P series of high performance DC power supplies from TTi offers a wide range of remote-control interfaces as standard. These include USB for simple PC connection, RS-232 for legacy applications and Ethernet for single PC or LAN based system applications.
Space-saving power supplies from TTi are said to use less energy
The new PL series from TTi is a range of linear regulated laboratory power supplies with a very small bench footprint. They incorporate a phase-controlled pre-regulator to limit heat dissipation and reduce energy consumption. Unlike conventional linear regulated power supplies which dissipate most of their power as heat when supplying low output voltages, the new PL series limits the internally generated voltages, resulting in much better energy ...
Arbitrary waveform software from TTi can be imported
The latest version of Waveform Manager Plus, the arbitrary waveform creation and editing program from TTi, supports importing of waveforms created by other instruments such as oscilloscopes. The import function supports any waveform that can be described by a set of Y-axis data points, regardless of their format - which can be fixed point, floating point or exponent format, positive or negative, with any amplitude and resolution.
DC electronic load from TTi
TTi has updated the LD300 low-cost electronic load to improve its performance at high currents. A low-voltage dropout facility is provided to protect sources such as batteries from damaging levels of discharge when the source voltage falls below the user-selectable voltage dropout threshold.
Laboratory power supplies from TTi
The SRS PS300 series of high-voltage power supplies, sold in the UK by TTi, has been extended to include 10 kV and 20 kV models for both positive and negative polarity. These four new single-output models each have a power rating of 10 W. The full PS300 range also includes 25 W dual-output models which cover ±1.25 kV up to ±5 kV. All models are housed in a compact half-rack case suitable for bench or rack mounting.
Low-cost Frequency Counter from TTi operates to 3GHz
The new PFM3000 from TTi (Thurlby Thandar Instruments) is a UK built hand-held frequency counter which can measure signals from below 3 Hz to above 3 GHz. Its low cost of £115 puts it into a similar price category as hand-held multimeters.
Arbitrary/function generator offers 40 V peak-to-peak amplitude
The AFG3011 arbitrary/function generator is the latest addition to the Tektronix AFG3000 Series of signal sources for design, test, and manufacturing engineers. While the vast majority of arbitrary/function generators provide a maximum of 10 V p-p amplitude into 50-ohm loads, a number of applications – particularly in automotive and power electronics design - require higher amplitudes.
Low-noise power supply offers dual and single output modes
TTi (Thurlby Thandar Instruments) has launched a dual-output version of its New PL Series of linear regulated power supplies. The PL303QMD is the latest model in the New PL series of ultra low-noise and ultra-compact PSUs, which have replaced the original PL series.
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...
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.
High speed audio testing against limits
The AP High Speed Tester (HST) application is now available for use with the Audio Precision AP2700 Series audio analyser. The new application was originally developed to test playback only devices on the production line. The objective was a fast, accurate and easy-to-operate test station with a limited graphical user interface that displayed just test results and had the ability to save results to a log file.
Sixteen-channel 'scope and chart recorder has high resolution printer built in
The new Yokogawa DL750P, available from TTi (Thurlby Thandar Instruments), is a combined oscilloscope and chart recorder (ScopeCorder) with a built-in A4 width printer and paper-based chart recorder. It is configurable to have up to 16 analogue and 16 digital/logic channels and can capture 30 days of data with up to 1 gigaword of memory.
Wideband power sensor for radar and digital communications testing to 18 GHz
The new Rohde & Schwarz NRP-Z81 wideband power sensor is available from TTi. The NRP-Z81 operates from 50 MHz to 18 GHz and offers all the functionality of a conventional peak power meter and more within the small housing of a power sensor. It can be operated using the R&S NRP power meter base unit, or any Windows PC using the R&S NRP-Z3 or Z4 USB adaptors.
Arbitrary/function generators gain longer memory and system connectivity
The latest versions of the Tektronix AFG3000 arbitrary/function generators are now available from TTi (Thurlby Thandar Instruments). Designated AFG3021B and AFG3022B, these new models have an arbitrary waveform memory increased from 64k to 128k points. They also include full system connectivity via USB, GPIB and LAN interfaces, the latter being LXI compliant.
Spectrum analyser from TTi extends to 2.7 GHz
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...
Bench power supply from TTi
The new PL Series from TTi (Thurlby Thandar Instruments) is a range of laboratory DC power supplies which offers the benefits of digital technology whilst retaining true analogue controls for voltage and current. The new product range replaces the original PL series, which has become the most widely used power supply range within the UK electronics industry.
Turnkey solution for avionics electrical test compliance
The Electrical Avionic Compliance System (EACS), a powerful avionics electrical test system from Xantrex Elgar, is now available in the UK from TTi (Thurlby Thandar Instruments): the UK agent for Xantrex Elgar AC and DC programmable power supplies.
