03 February 2026 - Rohde & Schwarz invites the global EMC community to join a crucial discussion on preparing for the future of EMC testing. The virtual conference, Demystifying EMC 2026, will address key challenges including new regulatory and standards developments, emerging test methodologies and solutions for accelerating test processes. Attendees will benefit from interactive, practical sessions demonstrating step-by-step measurement setup and execution.
26 January 2026 – Vector introduces CANape Kernel, a compact measurement core for x64- and ARM64-based platforms running Windows or Linux. The software enables high-performance data logging with fast start-up times and a REST API connection, ideal for automated logging applications. Users can utilize existing hardware or select platforms that suit their requirements. Depending on the application, Vector provides customized, worldwide support.
23 January 2026 - Spectrum Instrumentation introduces its new flagship Arbitrary Waveform Generators (AWGs) with a maximum of 6 channels at 10 GS/s or 12 channels at 5 GS/s output speed. The new DN6.63x AWGs belong to the company’s Netbox series, an easy-to-use instrument line that can be controlled via an Ethernet cable from any PC or network. Utilizing high-speed 16-bit DACs, the instruments offer GHz waveform generation with outstanding precision. Designed for engineers and researchers who need multiple synchronized test signals, the new AWGs offer reduced cost and complexity compared to using multiple single-channel generators.
22 January 2026 – Emerson is expanding its field-proven NI PXI test platform with new high-performance hardware at a more affordable price point. These additions make it easier for more engineering teams to adopt scalable, low-cost automated test systems without compromising precision or reliability, while laying the groundwork for AI-enhanced workflows. The new NI PXI hardware includes high-resolution oscilloscopes, multifunction I/O modules, embedded controllers and an all-hybrid chassis.
