A single PCIe card carries eight AWB channels and measures just 168 mm in length. The addition of the two new 8-channel-cards to Spectrum’s latest “65” series of PCIe Arbitrary waveform generators means that, using Spectrum’s Star-Hub, up to 80 channels can be fully synchronized in a single PC. As standard, all cards of the […]

Five new modules and accessories for the NI Switch, Load and Signal Conditioning (SLSC) architecture are designed for aerospace hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulations for testing complex electronic control systems. The new SLSC products include: •8-Channel Thermocouple Simulator Module – Eight channels of galvanically-isolated thermocouple simulation •8-Channel VDT/Resolver Simulation Module – Eight channels of variable differential transformer […]
June Robotics Summit will cover how to test/validate collaborative bots
It used to be that industrial robots were things that operated in guarded cells; if a human stumbled into the robot’s work envelope, the whole shebang shut down for safety reasons. Those days are gone. The new byword in robotics is collaborative — fielding robots that are safe enough to operate in close proximity to […]
