A CW (continuous wave) signal is accessed and displayed in the Tektronix PC-based spectrum analyzer. Hello and welcome again. This is our 70th Test and Measurement Video. We’re continuing our demonstration of the new Tektronix RSA306B PC-based spectrum analyzer. This instrument represents a real price breakthrough because, assuming that you already own or have access […]
Multifunction PCIe 12-to-26-bit DAQ cards include analog trigger, waveform generator
When advanced DAQ card features such as analog trigger and a waveform generator is needed, Advantech’s PCIe-1800 series with A/D resolution from 12-bit to 26-bit and a sampling rate from 500KS/s to 500MS/s as well as simultaneous or multiplexed sampling can fulfill a variety of solution needs. For multiplex sampling (PCIe-1810 and the PCIe-1816/H) or […]
Remote control module lets laptops run PXI systems via USB-C Thunderbolt 3

The PXIe-8301 offers PCI Express Gen 3 connectivity through two Thunderbolt 3 ports to maximize performance and delivers up to 2.3 GB/s of sustained data throughput. Engineers can use the second port […]
Thermal Imaging camera handles quick temperature checks on PCBs, small electronics
Newark element14, the Development Distributor, is now shipping the new FLIR ETS320 Thermal Imaging camera, designed for quick temperature checks on printed circuit boards and other small electronics in the laboratory and accurate quality assurance and factory acceptance testing. Heat can be an important factor in understanding how a system is functioning and the FLIR […]
App note covers Narrowband IoT testing
To support the further growth of the Internet of Things (IoT), the mobile industry has developed new radio access technologies, often referred as low power wide area (LPWA). These technologies can better cope with the characteristics and requirements of IoT devices and their applications. Narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) is a strong candidate among the different LPWA […]
Zuken Announces XJTAG DFT Assistant for CR-8000 PCB design suite
Zuken and XJTAG have entered into a partnership to enhance Zuken’s CR-8000 with a design for test (DFT) capability that will improve test coverage during schematic entry. The capability is based on XJTAG’s DFT Assistant, and will be available later this year as a free plugin for Zuken’s CR-8000 Design Gateway users. CR-8000 is a native 3D product-centric […]
Low-Cost Vector Network Analyzer covers up to 6 GHz
Saelig Company, Inc. has introduced the Pico Technology PicoVNA 106 Low-Cost Vector Network Analyzer – an economical USB-controlled, professional-grade 300kHz to 6GHz Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) with excellent performance, portability, and affordability. Despite its small size and low cost, its full-function, minimal-error, ‘Quad RX’ four-receiver architecture supports both 8- and 12-term calibration without the uncorrectable […]
VIDEO: Whip Antenna Connected To Tektronix RSA306B Spectrum Analyzer
Waveforms from a Tektronix RSA306B with a whip antenna connected to it are examined. They are RF emissions from local FM broadcast stations. Hi again and welcome to our 69th Test and Measurement video. In a previous video, we connected the Tektronix RSA 306B PC-based spectrum analyzer to the output from an arbitrary function generator. […]
Vibration cancellation for SEMs
TMC introduces SEM-Base® VI, the next generation of its STACIS® active piezoelectric vibration cancellation product line. Like the original SEM-Base system, SEM-Base VI is designed to support all commercial scanning electron microscopes (SEMs). It features improved vibration isolation performance and a faster and more-robust controller that provides the user with an advanced graphical user interface […]
Single instrument handles LTE-Advanced 1 Gbps IP Throughput Testing
Anritsu Company introduces a single-instrument solution that enables 1 Gbps IP data communications throughput testing based on its Signalling Tester MD8475B that supports 4×4 MIMO with 256QAM high-order modulation and four component carrier aggregation. The integrated system, which consists of the new Enhanced Multi-signalling Unit MD8475B-071 option and LTE 4×4 MIMO software, lowers cost-of-test and improves time-to-market by […]
