Test & Measurement

The state-of-the-art mass spectrometer leak detector and vacuum system by Varian provides powerful capability, enabling a broad range of test methods for specific applications, including industrial process, power generation, high energy physics, semiconductor production, small parts manufacturing and general research & development.

In many branches of microwaves and RF engineering, required analysis is not confined to the electromagnetic problem, particularly when dealing with high power applications. Both the temperature rise and resulting stress have to be considered in the design process since these may have major implications for the device’s performance.

Agilent Technologies has expanded its mixed-signal and digital-storage oscilloscope portfolio with two lower-cost 600-MHz Infiniium 9000 Series models, three new application packages and GPIB compatibility. The 9000 Series is the industry's first oscilloscope family to offer bandwidths from 600 MHz to 4 GHz, and it includes the industry's first mixed signal oscilloscope to support MIPI and SATA industry standards.

Agilent Technologies today introduced its Acqiris product line's highest-resolution VME/VXS digitizer. The SVM4800 is an eight-channel 14-bit digitizer with more than 300 MHz input signal bandwidth, achieving sampling of up to 125 MS/s. This new digitizer is ideal for applications in radar, Electronic Warfare (EW) and Synthetic Instrumentation (SI).

A versatile microscope with rotating lens brings advanced digital enlargement and image capture features to a hand-held format for the first time. The iLoupe XL, a second-generation model with added capabilities, is manufactured exclusively for Aven, Inc. The new product magnifies from three to 300 times and has a 5.1-megapixel, high-resolution sensor for detailed images. Six white-light LEDs with an adjustable intensity control assure clear, bri...

Measurement specialists RDP Electronics Ltd provide a number of cost-effective signal conditioning solutions, including panel and DIN mounted options for applications using multiple transducers. Where there are a number of transducers in close proximity then a more economic and space efficient solution can usually be achieved by selecting either the RDP Modular 600 or DR7 DIN rail options, rather than using several individual devices.

For development engineers working in automotive, aerospace and other disciplines where the measurement of torsional stiffness is essential, then measurement specialists RDP Electronics Ltd can provide a suitable system utilising standard products.

Highland adds a multipurpose digital fanout buffer to its line of photonics products. As either a benchtop instrument or an OEM assembly, the P730 is compatible with CMOS, TTL, CMOS, LVDS, NECL, PECL, NIM and sine wave systems.

TTi has extended its range of USB RF and microwave power meters with the release of the TTi-Satori ST265. The new instrument pushes the frequency limit for high dynamic range USB power meters up to 26.5 GHz. The ST265 now covers a frequency range of 10 MHz to 26.5 GHz.

National Instruments has announced the release of the NI Sound and Vibration Measurement Suite 2009, a comprehensive collection of analysis and signal processing tools for noise, vibration and harshness (NVH), machine condition monitoring and audio test applications.
