Test & Measurement

Many Signal Group customers employ the company’s gas analysers to measure the combustion emissions from engines that are under development.

Viscom AG is exhibiting at the PCIM Europe trade fair for the first time this year. The team of experts at Stand 6-110 will provide detailed information about inspection solutions from Viscom for the special requirements of power electronics. Particular highlights set to be shown live is the iX7059 Module Inspection inline X-ray system and high-precision optical wire bond inspection.

When identifying electronic components for optimal products, there are many design considerations that must be adhered to. Using smartphones’ screens and enclosures (aka chassis) as the key example of such components, this article looks at some key areas of T&M (test and measurement) that designers must take into account to achieve resilient, reliable, and effective devices.

What is said to be the industry's first oscilloscope-based automotive protocol trigger/decode solution (D9010AUTP) has been released by Keysight Technologies.

High-speed programming and testing are supported by the high-speed Flash programming devices using the latest automotive ethernet standards 1000Base T1/100Base T1 or fast USB3.

Keysight Technologies is participating as a gold suite vendor in the industry's first PCI-SIG Compliance Workshop to help advance standards that drive interoperability between PCI Express (PCIe) 5.0 devices. 

PHABRIX has announced that its QxL rasteriser series, including NMOS analysis tools and the Extended Ultra High Definition (EUHD) option, are being used extensively in the NVIDIA Rivermax SDK.

Smart speakers are a relatively new class of consumer audio device with unique characteristics that make testing their audio performance difficult. In this application note, Joe Begin, Director of Applications & Technical Support at Audio Precision provides an overview of smart speaker acoustic measurements with a focus on frequency response – the most important objective measurement of a device’s audio quality.

Error vector magnitude (EVM) is one of the main parameters to characterise the performance of a digital transmitter or receiver, and the R&S FSW signal and spectrum analyser from Rohde & Schwarz has been designated for high-end measurements requiring extreme precision.

Charlotte Morgan interviews Kevin Vincent, Director, Centre for Connected and Autonomous Automotive Research Institute For Future Transport and Cities about autonomous mobility testing and many other areas of his work in Coventry University's test bed for connected vehicles and more.
