DC-coupled DAQ card features 2 GS/sec sampling on dual channels
The SA2 platform is first on the market to be specially optimized for OEM requirements. It employs Acqiris’ new high-performance 14-bit ADC card technology which performs fast signal acquisitions from 1 GS/sec up to 10 GS/sec, with excellent signal fidelity across a wide bandwidth. The SA220 is an entry model of the SA2 new product […]
Gigabit data logger for high-speed and ADAS applications
The DP²4R Gigabit data logger collects raw radar signals between the sensor and preprocessing. The stored signals can then be fed back via the same interface. This allows real traffic situations to be replicated repeatedly in the laboratory and to optimize the processing chain of radar signals. The testing and validation of radar signal processing […]
Pocketable RF test signal source hosts features comparable to full-size analog gigahertz generators
The VSG6G1C RF Vector Signal Generator is a cost-effective pocketable USB-connected RF signal source with capabilities that provide standalone and PC-controlled functions comparable to full-size analog RF signal generators. Offering frequencies from 1 MHz to 6.1 GHz with frequency sweep, frequency hopping using I&Q modulation, and arbitrary signal generation, this compact signal source can generate […]
Digital design toolset takes on tough debugging challenges
The new Five Wire is a professional-grade toolset that takes over where oscilloscopes and software debuggers fall short, allowing engineers to quickly capture and source signals to assist with debugging and verification of embedded designs. With Five Wire, digital designers and firmware engineers get the power of five debugging tools in one instrument so users […]
Ultra-compact logic analyzers sport large data buffer, built-in bus receivers for serial decoding
The Ikalogic SP2 Series of compact 9-channel 200-MHz logic analyzers offer in-depth analysis of logic signals and protocol decoding with 200-MHz (5 nsec) timing resolution. The nine-channel design allows 8-bit parallel data to be captured along with a clock or strobe signal at the maximum sampling rate without any trade-off between the number of active […]
Three-phase testing basics – Mitigating harmonic current
An electrical conductor warms up when it conveys current. If the heat is high enough the conductor can be damaged, so it is beneficial to limit current flow. Three-phase electrical distribution systems are highly effective in limiting current flow without reducing the amount of power delivered to the load. They do this by separating phases […]
Multi-function recorder maps ACSI TCP/IP messages to MMS and GOOSE formats
A recorder with IEC61850-8-1, Edition 2, capabilities supports the exchange of time-critical and non-time-critical data through local-area networks (TCP/IP) by mapping ACSI to MMS (Manufacturing Message Specification) and GOOSE (Generic Object-Oriented Substation Event). The TR-3000 multi-function recorder now supports such capabilities such as subscription to GOOSE messages from multiple IEDs (intelligent electronic devices) and the […]
Newark element14 launches new Keysight DAQ970A data acquisition system
Newark element14, the Development Distributor, now carries the DAQ970A Data Acquisition System from Keysight, offering engineers a more efficient way to fully characterize their product and deploy test solutions in just a few days. The product, designed for engineers in R&D design verification and manufacturing, provides a path to design reliability without the need for […]
5G conformance toolset gets PTCRB validation for 5G NR device certification
Keysight Technology’s 5G Conformance Toolset is the first test solution to be approved for 5G New Radio (NR) device certification by PTCRB, a certification forum comprised of select leading cellular operators, accelerating commercial availability of 5G mobile devices across the ecosystem. This milestone came as a result of the extended collaboration between Keysight and Qualcomm […]
