The 144-page guide offers details and technical specifications on Keithley’s general-purpose and sensitive sourcing and measurement products, DC switching, RF switching and measurement, data acquisition solutions, semiconductor test systems, and optoelectronics test.

Murata Power Solutions’ low-power, high brightness, three-and-a-half digit, DMS-20PC digital panel voltmeters are now available with ‘brilliant blue’ or ‘pure green’ LED colours in addition to the current ‘low-power red’. The DMS-20PC series provides a sub-miniature, low-cost solution in applications such as battery chargers, power amplifiers, rack-mounted power and high-end consumer electronics.

ACCES I/O Products has announced an addition to its line of wireless data acquisition products - Model WWP-IIRO-8. This product features a pair of intelligent 16-channel digital I/O units that communicate directly with each other. Each unit contains 8 Form C (SPDT) electromechanical relays and 8 optically isolated digital inputs. When an isolated input is toggled on one of the units it will cause the corresponding relay to switch on the other uni...

Appearing for a second time at Aerospace 09, the premier aerospace design, test and manufacturing show, Intepro Systems will be demonstrating its new IBT700 aircraft battery test system on stand – B144.

National Instruments has announced the release of NI analysis and signal processing tools for noise, vibration and harshness (NVH); machine condition monitoring; and audio test applications. The NI Sound and Vibration Measurement Suite Version 7.0 extends analysis functionality with NI LabVIEW virtual instruments (VIs) for performing psychoacoustic measurements, making it possible for engineers to quickly set up tests to quantify sound quality.

Now available from TTi, the Tektronix DPO3000 Series is a family of lower-cost mid-performance oscilloscopes incorporating the long record length needed for serial data analysis in embedded systems. All DPO3000 models incorporate a 5 megasample record length on each channel and can sample at up to 2.5 GS/s on all channels simultaneously. Two- or four-channel models are available with bandwidths of 100 MHz, 300 MHz or 500 MHz.
