08 December 2025 - ODU is expanding the proven ODU-MAC Black-Line with the new Compact Class – a compact, modular and cost-efficient mass interconnect solution for demanding inspection and test environments. The Compact Class offers up to 1,536 signal points in just half the 19" width, making it ideal for applications with high signal requirements and limited installation space. With four height units and space for four ODU-MAC Blue-Line frames, it impresses with maximum modularity and supports all available contact technologies. Thanks to mechanical coding and contacting path monitoring via microswitch, the Compact Class increases user safety and prevents mismating.
04 December 2025 — Rohde & Schwarz launched the R&S NGT3600 series, a new line of DC power supplies offering up to 1800 W per channel. These power supplies are highly versatile, providing adjustable output voltages of up to 80 V. The two channels of the R&S NGT3622 model can be combined in series or parallel, allowing users to double either the voltage or the current. For applications requiring even more power, up to three units can be connected, delivering up to 480 V or 300 A across six channels.
03 December 2025 – Pickering Interfaces announced a new compact 12-slot LXI/USB modular chassis: the 60-107-001. The highest PXI slot density chassis for PXI and PXIe modules, it provides 12 hybrid-compatible slots in a 2U form factor, and can be controlled via either USB or LXI (Ethernet)—eliminating the need for a dedicated PXI controller or embedded PC. The USB-compatible and LXI-compliant interfaces enable the chassis to be controlled directly through standard interfaces commonly found on most PCs, providing a very cost-effective route into modular test and measurement applications.
02 December 2025 - Instrument Systems introduces the STA Stand‑Alone Screen Photometer — a modular, vehicle‑based measurement solution that combines the LumiCam 4000B imaging luminance camera with the new ACS 635 calibration source to deliver fast, high‑resolution photometric and geometrically corrected testing of automotive headlamps, including adaptive lighting functions.
