Tranche of T&M products boost distributor line card

“The investment in inventory that we have made over the last year has significantly strengthened the breadth and depth of our linecard”, says James McGregor, Head of Test and Tools at Premier Farnell and Farnell element14: “Our range of test & measurement equipment now embraces everything from high-value products for cost-conscious engineers and educators to top-of-the-line professional equipment.”

The Weller WE1010 soldering station is claimed to be 40% morepowerfulthan competitive stations in the market. This allows the iron to heat up faster and to provide a faster recovery time to get the job done quicker with more efficiency and precision. This station is developed especially for educational, and consumer applications as well as entry level professional. It has many of the software features of professional workstations, and is easy and economical to use.

Keithley’s DAQ6510 data acquisition and logging multimeter is a precision data acquisition and logging system that creates a new level of simplicity compared with the often-complicated configuration and control found in many stand-alone solutions. With 12 plug-in switching and control modules and two module slots, users can build test systems that can measure or control up to 80 devices under test in a multiplexing configuration. Two 6 × 8 matrix modules provide a total of 96 crosspoints allowing the test of one or multiple ICs.For high-volume production testing, a solid-state multiplexer module is available to maximise throughput with 800 channels/s scanning speed and minimise downtime.  The large 5in. (12.7 cm) multitouch display guides users through set-up, data visualisation and analysis, removing the necessity of a PC and custom software for many applications. For users who prefer or require a PC, a complement of IVI and Labview drivers and the Keithley KickStart instrument control software are available. 

The Rohde& Schwarz FPC spectrum analyser combines a spectrum analyser, network analyser and signal generator in one instrument. It is suitable university laboratories, research institutions as well as production and service facilities.   The device has a low noise floor level at 165dBm and a resolution bandwidth of 1Hz on a 10.1in. WXGA display and inbuilt investment protection with all upgrades available via keycode and no additional calibration required.
