Laser Beam Analysis Software Combines Laser Profiling & Power Measurements
Ophir-Spiricon has announced that BeamGage®, the company’s next generation laser beam analysis software, is the first to support the combination of laser beam profiling with power meter measurements in a single system. BeamGage now interfaces with Ophir power meters, including the company’s new Quasar wireless device. BeamGage matches the time stamps of the laser power […]
Video Measuring Has Computed Numerically Controlled Option
Vision Engineering will be showcasing their new and exciting products at MACH 2010, including the new Falcon video measuring solution with computed numerically controlled (CNC) option; and the Mantis Elite-Cam – an award winning stereo inspection system with ‘eyepieceless’ viewing head, now with a built-in camera for digital image capture, and onscreen measurement software. The […]
Software Developed for Mobile WiMAX Testing
National Instruments introduced the NI Measurement Suite for Mobile WiMAX (IEEE 802.16e-2005), a software suite that engineers can use with modular RF instrumentation for automated testing of Mobile WiMAX devices. With this software suite, engineers can perform Mobile WiMAX component and device testing faster than with traditional instruments, and with better accuracy and greater flexibility. […]
Lab Brick Generates Signals for Portable Testers
The Lab Brick® family of USB-compatible signal generators cover frequencies from 50 MHz to 6 GHz in a fraction of the cost and size of traditional test signal sources. Signal generators are essential to most test systems, but they are typically too large and expensive for portable measurement applications. In cases where portability is important, […]
Internet Meters Set to Release Aug. 2010
The integrated measurement of advertising across both TV and internet viewing might happen sooner than we thought. Nielsen now expects to have a portion of its people meter households covered with “Internet meters” prior to the 2010-2011 broadcast season. Once that happens, count on internet viewing on Hulu.com and the network’s websites having the same […]

Toronto, Canada – GAO Instruments offers its compact, handheld and easy-to-use test instrument – ADSL 2+ Tester, which is used to test ADSL, ADSL2, ADSL 2+ and RE-ADSL2 lines. This multi-functional tester quickly determines whether the line tested complies with appropriate standards and clearly displays test results through its high resolution, backlit LCD, and indicates […]
Broadband Across America from JDSU
MILPITAS, CA – JDSU launched “Broadband@Work Across America,” a campaign to help raise awareness and educate rural service providers on the technical issues and challenges that could impact their ability to successfully deploy broadband services in towns across the country. The campaign is inspired by the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, which provides $7.2 […]
Source Measure Unit from Agilent Technologies, Inc.
SANTA CLARA, CA – Agilent Technologies Inc. introduced a three-channel source measure unit (SMU) that can simultaneously provide power and perform measurements in applications such as parametric testing of diodes, LEDs, CMOS integrated circuits and other semiconductor devices. The U2723A USB modular SMU`s compact size saves benchtop space, and its improved throughput saves time. It […]
Automated Gearbox Testing builds in Consistency
Ann Arbor, MI – The U.S. military has demanding requirements for the hardware it needs. Take, for instance, a set of gearboxes built by Excel Gear Inc., Roscoe, Ill, (excelgear.com) for missile launchers on the U.S. Navy’s new DDG1000 series of ships. The gearboxes are drive elements for the servo systems that rotate and elevate […]
