Agilent Upgrades IC Characterisation Software
Agilent Technologies' Integrated Circuits Characterisation and Analysis Program (IC-CAP) software has been enhanced to provide full support for the B1505A Power Device Analyser/Curve Tracer, including the instrument’s new high-power, high-current source monitor unit modules.
Non-Destructive Testing - how far should you go
Every day millions of components are produced around the world to help build everything from a simple toy to fighter jets. For every manufacturer involved in the process, a decision must be made on how to test the component to ensure it meets the design criteria. For the vast majority, batch inspection and testing is sufficient, however, where high precision engineering is involved the testing must be exhaustive and comprehensive.
