Power Quality/Motor Analyzer
gages electric motor performance
Measuring mechanical loads typically requires load sensors that can be costly or physically inaccessible. The new Fluke 438-II Power Quality and Motor Analyzer uses innovative algorithms to analyze not only three-phase power quality but also torque, efficiency and speed to determine system performance and detect overloaded conditions, eliminating the need for motor load sensors. The […]
Physical DAQ systems get Force Sensors
Equipped with TEDS Memory Modules
HBM, a manufacturer of data acquisition systems, analysis and calibration software, strain gauges, transducers and sensors, announced that its growing line of force sensors is available with a memory module designed to store sensor properties, which greatly simplifies the process of configuring a force measurement system. In the past, installing force sensors and configuring them […]

High-res radiometric thermal imaging camera carries cooled image detector
Just in time for the 25th anniversary of the company, InfraTec is presenting its new ImageIR 10300. This latest model of the high-end ImageIR series features the world’s first radiometric camera with a cooled detector of (1,920 × 1,536) IR pixels for industry and science. Compared to the ImageIR 9300, the sister model with its […]
Basics of telescope optics and mounting
Astronomical telescopes (optical, not radio) are divided broadly into two categories, refractors and reflectors. A refractor consists of a relatively long tube with a lens called the objective lens semi-permanently mounted at the far end and an eyepiece mounted at the end nearest the observer. The telescope will work if the eyepiece, like the objective, […]
New generation of ethernet-controlled BOP bipolar power supplies
Kepco is pleased to introduce our new line of Ethernet-controlled 100W, 200W and 400W BOP linear bipolar power supplies. Kepco’s BOP-E’s can be controlled from anywhere over Ethernet or LAN. Communication is either through a web page or by using SCPI commands via LabView and Telnet. Fast, ultra quiet and clean bipolar power controlled via […]
High-power tunable laser speeds fiber, probe alignment
Keysight Technologies, Inc. has introduced the 81602A, an extra high power tunable laser. The 81602A eases tolerance for power budgets in test setups and speeds fiber or probe alignment by getting first light faster. Keysight also introduced new wavelengths for its recently released 8160xA family of tunable laser modules for the 8164B lightwave measurement system. […]
