The mioDAQ from NI has two 20-bit and two 16-bit flavors. Analog outputs come with two or four, with 16-bit DIO and counters. USB data-acquisition (DAQ) devices have been on the market for many years and come in many varieties. What makes the mioDAQ series from NI different is its 20-bit vertical resolution on two […]
Flea market vintage test equipment, September 2024
The monthly “Flea at MIT” featured an abundance of test equipment. We even bought some.
15 W PXI programmable resistor modules simulate sensors
These modules let you perform HIL testing for industrial, automotive, medial and other products.
14-bit oscilloscope delivers low noise, fast updates
Keysight’s InfiniiVision HD3 series oscilloscopes let you see signals with 4x the resolution of 12-bit instruments.
Free online tools perform RF calculations
RF engineers often need to calculate parameters such as VSWR and RLC networks. Ampleon provides these and other free RF design tools for you to use. Ampleon, a maker of RF components, provides engineers with a free RF online tools page where you can find four sets of useful tools. Each of the four tools […]
Data-acquisition recorder gets 1500 VDC module
B+K precision adds a 4-channel, ±1500 VDC input module to its DAS1800 data recorder. Today’s electric vehicles operate at voltages approaching 1000 VDC, engineers need to monitor and record those voltages during tests. to that end, B+K Precision has added the D18-HVM4 high-voltage, 4-channel input module to its DAS1800 modular data recorder. The D18-HVM4 adds […]
OFC 2024: How AI and silicon photonics will drive network test
EE World spoke with Sarah Boen, Director of Technology and ASIC Strategy at Tektronix, who spoke at a panel session on how AI and silicon photonics are changing networks and the challenges facing test engineers and reliability engineers.
Waveform generators create basic, arbitrary, and RF signals
The T3AWG6K series from Teledyne LeCroy lets you produce fundamental baseband signals, complex analog/digital signals, and RF signals in one box. Today’s designs often need testing through a combination of analog, digital, and RF signals, which can require up to three signal generators. With the T3AWG6K series from Teledyne LeCroy, you can generate all of […]
IMS 2024 roundup: test equipment
Washington, DC — The 2024 International Microwave Symposium took place here in June at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center. As always, RF/microwave/mmWave test equipment was all over the exhibit hall. Frequency-domain test equipment — spectrum analyzers, vector network analyzers, power meters, and signal generators — were, of course, dominant. Other equipment, such as oscilloscopes […]
USB oscilloscopes add automotive 10Base-T1S protocol analysis
Pico Technology, a manufacturer of USB oscilloscopes, has added 10Base-T1S protocol analysis to software that operates the company’s line of USB oscilloscopes. That brings to 40 the number of serial protocols that the company supports. PicoScope 7 software is a free download. 10Base-T1S is a two-wire Ethernet standard that specifies a physical layer for automotive […]
