A four digit multi-range digital panel meter just introduced by Carlo Gavazzi UK features multiple input channels targeting speed control in materials handling applications.

Signal Forge has released a digitally synthesized signal generator. The Signal Forge 1000 with a frequency range of 1 Hz to 1 GHz, multiple output types and a variety of waveform modulation options combine to offer the features of a signal source, a function generator and an arbitrary waveform generator in a single product.

Aeroflex's 3500 is a lightweight and portable radio test set designed specifically to test vehicle-based radio systems used predominantly by first responders. The Aeroflex 3500 radio test set incorporates the latest technology in rugged design, portability, battery life and high performance. The new test set allows the user to test all aspects of the vehicle’s system - from the radio to the cable and the antenna - with powerful features typical...

Wireless transmission of sensor data from rotating objects (driveshafts, wheels, motors, gearboxes, propellers etc.) is now generally accepted by mechanical engineers as a standard method for measurement applications in research, testing and vehicle development. For such tasks the new J1 single-channel telemetry system from CAESAR DataSystems, offers compelling reasons for using this technique.

Keithley Instruments has introduced the Series 3400 Pulse/Pattern Generators. They provide superior signal quality and precise control for pulse widths from three nanoseconds to 1000 seconds, as well as a simple, intuitive user interface. Series 3400 pulse and pattern generators are ideal for semiconductor device and material research and characterization, as well as in process integration and advanced materials research applied to such projects ...

Available in the UK from Computer Solutions, the Ellisys Explorer 300 Wireless USB analyser is said to be the industry's first protocol analyser to support the Certified Wireless USB and WiMedia ultra wideband (UWB) standards with data being taken over the air.

Aeroflex has completed the delivery of its CDG Stage II C.S0044 interoperability and CDG Stage I C.S0043 signalling conformance test cases. Both test suites are available on Aeroflex’s CDMA AIME network emulation platform.

New Forest Electronics has upgraded its model SDA-02 handheld serial data analyser to handle the “Modbus over Serial Line” protocol. (The Modbus protocol is popular in Industrial communications, often being used over RS485/422 links).

Penny + Giles, has launched its largest contactless rotary position sensor, the SRH880. It features a rugged aluminium or corrosion resistant stainless steel housing for use in harsh environments and is fully submersible and can operate at a depth of up to two meters.

Aspen Electronics, the Ruislip-based distributor of test equipment, power supplies and specialist RF and Microwave devices, is exhibiting for the first time at Nepcon Electronics this year. The company is showing a range of instruments ideally suited to electronics production and test applications, including power supplies and oscilloscopes.
