Test & Measurement

Measurement Computing Corporation has announced the addition of a new battery-powered temperature/humidity logger with superior accuracy. The USB-502-PLUS is a cost-effective solution for both long- or short-term logging applications in which accuracy and small size are important.

Aeroflex has announced it has expanded its flexible PXI modular test platform with the addition of two new 3020 Series high-power and compact RF signal generators. The 3020 Series are compact, high-precision PXI modular RF signal generators with integrated dual-channel arbitrary waveform generators ideally suited for R&D manufacturing and design verification of RF components and systems. The addition of the 3021C and 3026C extend the output power...

Agilent has introduced three test instruments that offer new levels of functionality and value. One instrument is a next-generation hybrid that combines a digital multimeter (DMM) and a power supply in one unit. The other two introductions, a pair of DMMs, provide basic capabilities and solid performance at affordable prices.

National Instruments has announced the NI 9213, which adds high-density thermocouple measurements to the NI C Series platform. Using the NI 9213, engineers can create a compact, modular data acquisition system to collect data from up to 16 independent thermocouples. The NI 9213 takes up less space than standard instrumentation in a measurement system and provides more channels for measurement with a sampling rate of 75 samples/second per channel,...

Keithley Instruments has introduced the Model 2891-IQ Upconverter, which provides comprehensive support for transceiver testing by processing analog I and Q baseband signals for testing a transceiver’s transmitter, as well as processing analog I and Q output signals for testing a transceiver’s receiver.

Keithley Instruments has announced that it has upgraded its popular RF Vector Signal Analyzer line with new capabilities that reduce signal acquisition and measurement times. The new Model 2820A RF Vector Signal Analyzer, which provides a 40MHz signal acquisition bandwidth with a frequency range of either 400MHz–4GHz or 400MHz–6GHz, builds on the capabilities of Keithley’s Series 2800 signal analyzer line. It expands the line’s applicatio...

GOEPEL electronic recently introduced the development of JULIET (JTAG UnLimItEd Tester), a family of completely integrated stand-alone production testers. The modular systems combine all test electronics, as well as the basic mechanics in a compact desktop system. Furthermore, they are equipped with a specific interface to an exchangeable adaptor giving fast changes to accommodate different Units Under Test (UUT).

Murata's Thermo-String long lead thermistor range for monitoring the temperature of areas that are hard to reach with surface-mount thermistors is now fully qualified for automotive use. Hot spots may not always be on the PCB or motherboard, so Thermo-String's long leads of up to 150mm allow the head of the thermistor to be situated as close to the problem area as possible, even in narrow or small locations.

PerkinElmer has announced the introduction of its new Gigahertz Photon Detection Module (GPDM) for analytical and clinical diagnostic applications under low light level conditions. The new module, the latest addition to PerkinElmer’s Channel Photomultiplier family, offers the world’s highest dynamic counting range between 1 cps and 1 Gcps in a single operating mode, coupled with extremely low noise performance. As a result of the new Gigahert...

LEM has introduced the HTT series of PCB-mounting current transducers to provide the facility to measure three currents with a single PCB-mounted unit. The new transducers, with maximum measurement currents ranging from 25 to 150 ARMS, allow three-phase currents to be monitored independently by a unit occupying a mounting area of only 16.8 cm2 and with a height of only 29 mm.
