News and Information about the Test of Electronics in Research & Design, Production, Maintenance, and Installation.
02 December 2024 – Anritsu Corporation has joined the OpenROADM Multi-Source Agreement (MSA), which defines specifications that facilitate multi-vendor interoperability for optical transmission networks. Anritsu’s participation in these efforts aims to enhance efficiency and flexibility of the optical transmission network. As Test & Measurement instrument vendor, Anritsu’s OpenROADM activities contribute to the openness and efficiency of optical transmission networks by promoting interconnect specifications and interoperability verification.
29 November 2024 - Tektronix announced the new TICP Series IsoVu isolated current probes. TICP IsoVu probes are the industry’s first current shunt probes to use RF isolation, providing complete galvanic isolation between measurement systems and devices under test, delivering high-bandwidth, low-noise current measurements in high-voltage applications compared to existing probes on the market or alternative shunt measurement techniques. Available in bandwidths up to 1 GHz, these probes enable engineers to capture accurate measurements of fast-changing currents on their oscilloscopes across a wide voltage range in nanoseconds – from microamps to kiloamps.
26 November 2024 – Pico Technology enhanced its PicoScope 9400 Series by launching the PicoScope 9404A-25, a high-performance oscilloscope offering 25 GHz bandwidth on four channels. This latest addition builds on the existing PicoScope 9400 Series, which features models with 5 GHz and 16 GHz bandwidths, expanding the reach and capabilities of this advanced family of oscilloscopes. Pico Technology's unique Sampler-Extended Real-Time Oscilloscope (SXRTO) technology combines the advantages of traditional real-time acquisition with sampling oscilloscope capabilities, offering engineers the best of both worlds. This means the scope can trigger directly on the signal and can also record pre-trigger data, while also achieving the extremely high time and amplitude resolution of a sampling scope.
25 November 2024 - Saelig Company introduced Aim-TTi’s new FX100 Power Supply Series, the FX100DP and FX100TP models, both of which have two 105W PowerFlex outputs, with a maximum capacity of 42V or 6A. The FX100TP adds a third output from 0-6V and 6A. The 4.3" color touch screen gives the user a clear view and access to a wide range of measurements and features. At the heart of the FX Series is Aim-TTi’s advanced PowerFlex technology, offering an intelligent auto-ranging capability that dynamically adjusts the operating range within the 105W channel power envelope.
19 November 2024 - After its recent operation in the UK and those in 2023 in the Netherlands, Germany, and Italy, the Microtest Group has arrived in the United States, acquiring Focused Test, one of the few companies worldwide specialized in test systems for SiC and GaN microchips, completing its fifth acquisition in 18 months. The Microtest Group thus consolidates its leadership in test systems and microchip testing, surpassing €80 million in revenue and employing over 400 people.
