Outram Research has enhanced the functionality of its market leading Ranger PM7000 Power Quality Analyser, the industry’s only Cat IV 600V Phase A-powered analyser, with the addition of support for capture of IEEE 1459 and IEEE 100 parameters. The new functionality allows users to more effectively measure useful power, fundamental reactive power and distortion power to help resolve a wide range of power quality problems.

Agilent Technologies has introduced the industry's first and most comprehensive DDR3 protocol debug and validation test suite for digital designers developing computer and embedded memory applications. The test platform offers the industry's fastest full channel 2.0GT/s 16962A logic analysis module, a complete probing portfolio for DDR3 BGA and DIMM, and the first DDR3 compliance and performance software environment.

Soon to be announced is TorqSense RWT330/340 series, designed for use in applications where space is limited. Like other units in the TorqSense family, the RWT330/340 provides non-contact measurement of torque, speed, power and position of rotating shafts, such as machine drives, drive shafts for pumps, fans, mixers etc, and in the critical axes of test rigs.

Keithley Instruments has announced that it is discontinuing its S600 Series parametric test product line. The Company will continue to accept orders for S600 Series testers until February 2010 and will continue to provide technical support, calibration, and repair services for five years through February 2014.

With the launch of the new DLM2000 mixed-signal oscilloscope, Yokogawa Europe is now able to offer a complete package of test & measurement solutions for analysing the serial bus systems that are increasingly being used in the automotive sector.

The ZigBee short range wireless protocol is achieving maturity. With more than 12M chips shipped during 2008, the protocol is gaining momentum in Smart Energy, health care, home automation and many other applications.

With 3G Long Term Evolution (LTE) fast becoming a global phenomenon, Aeroflex has announced that it is to accelerate the roll-out of the new features planned for 2009 for its recently launched Aeroflex 7100 Digital Radio Test Set for LTE mobile device test.

GOEPEL electronic is now providing a module for angled-view inspection in its Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) systems. The new module generates a hitherto unrivalled field of view with excellent image quality at a 45° angle. With this the orthogonal camera’s entire inspection area is covered. Making the inspection of solder joints and components concealed by other components much more accurate. Images can be captured from any angle posit...
