A PCI Express 5.0 (PCIe Gen5) test solution combines Anritsu’s Signal Quality Analyzer-R MP1900A BERT series with Tektronix’s DPO70000SX series 70-GHz Real-time Oscilloscope and automation software. The all-in-one solution supports tests of PCIe 5.0 electrical characteristics, physical-layer protocol analysis, and transmitter/receiver and Link Equalization Training (LEQ) tests to facilitate efficient development of high-speed ICs, devices, […]
Pocket-size spectrometer captures light data in real time
The photonfy pocket-sized spectrometer measures 92.8 (H)x38.2(W)x20.5 mm(D) and weighs 55 g. It makes CCT, Illuminance, irradiance, and flicker measurements. It can be used as a light quality spectral optimizer for making reports on CIE CRI, IES TM30-15/18, color icon, color spaces, ANSI color binning, etc. It can also provide health indicators: Equivalent Melanopic Lux […]
Pocket-Sized PoE++ Tester needs no batteries
A new pocket-sized PoE++ tester called the TPS200C has an MSRP of $89.00. “The easy-to-use TPS200C has been designed for all varieties of PoE…up to 56 V and 280 W of power,” explained Sean Rothermel, Platinum Tools product manager. “Powered by the PoE circuit, the TPS200C requires no batteries and can be used inline with […]
Combo multi-channel, mixed-signal scope/DAQ captures high-speed transients, long-term trends
The DL950 ScopeCorder improves efficiency and effectiveness in design and evaluation of renewable and energy efficient technologies. The DL950 ScopeCorder is a combination of a multi-channel, mixed-signal oscilloscope and portable data acquisition recorder. It captures both high-speed transient events and long-term trends. Building on the capabilities of the well-established DL850E, the new DL950 ScopeCorder can […]
Clamp meter optimized for photovoltaic system tests
A solar clamp meter can measure up to 2,000 Vdc and 1,500 Vac (using PVHV leads) during installation, maintenance, monitoring and testing of photovoltaic systems and standard ac or dc electrical equipment. The DCM1500S can also measure ac and dc current up to 1,500 A and offers a true RMS reading on the ac range […]
General-purpose PXI matrix features 70-MHz bandwidth, high switching capacity
Available in 16×8, two-pole, or high-density 32×8, two-pole switching configurations, PXI matrix modules offer bandwidths ranging from 35 MHz to 70 MHz depending upon path selected and a VSWR less than 1.5:1 to 85 MHz. The modules are in two-slot PXI (model 40-588) or PXIe (model 42-588) formats and are constructed using telecommunication-grade electromechanical relays […]
Massively parallel board test system boosts throughput in a smaller footprint
The new i7090 massively parallel board test system is a new category of automated test equipment designed to perform tests in parallel, on multiple printed circuit board assemblies (PCBA), to achieve high-volume throughput which speeds time-to-market and reduces cost-of-test. Current systems on the market only support up to four cores in parallel. Customers must test […]
Analyzer and exerciser handles MIPI M-PHY GEAR 5 UFS 4.0 protocol
The Eclipse M52 is an M-PHY Gear 5 UFS 4.0 ready protocol analyzer and exerciser that supports JEDEC UFS 3.1, MIPI UniPro v1.8 and M-PHY v4.1 HS-G4 and now and can be upgraded to support JEDEC UFS 4.0, MIPI UniPro v2.0 and M-PHY v5.0 HS-G5 when available. Consumers of smartphones, digital cameras, and other consumer […]
Test system validates 400GE networks and devices
The new AresONE-S 400GE test system enables network equipment manufacturers and data center operators to validate complex, mixed 400 gigabit Ethernet (GE) and lower-speed networks and devices. Data center operators have widely deployed mature 100GE non-return-to-zero (NRZ)-based technologies. However, higher Ethernet speeds, such as 400GE, create new mixed signaling and forward error correction (FEC) implementations […]
Spectrum analysis software includes noise figure analysis mode
A new Noise Figure analysis mode is available for the Spike spectrum analyzer software. Noise Figure analysis is one of the most useful metrics for RF test engineers, characterizing the noise contributions of an electrical system, as well as the individual electrical components within the system. Spike is Signal Hound’s spectrum analyzer software, compatible with […]
