At Electronica 2024 we caught up with Chris Armstrong, Marketing Director at SIGLENT, and Gnanachaitra Ravali Namini, Application Manager at SIGLENT, as part of our promotional coverage for the event. In this interview, they discusses the SIGLENT SDS7604A. The latest version of this scope introduces several key enhancements compared to its predecessors, they tell us, particularly in terms of frequency ...

Yokogawa has updated its WT1800 precision power analyser, first introduced in 2011. Called WT1800R, the new version can take simultaneous 16bit measurements on up to six inputs at 2Msample/s (right, with optional PD2 on top). For field-oriented controlled permanent magnet synchronous motors, the instrument can calculate dq-axis parameters Ld and Lq, and record Vd, Vq, Id and Iq. It “has ...

B&K Precision has introduced a pair of 10 digit frequency counters reaching 3 or 6GHz, with ±1ppm stability across their +5 to +40°C operating range. “This series utilizes a reciprocal counting technique to provide high resolution at all frequencies, from 1mHz to 3GHz for the 1823B, or 6GHz for the 1826B,” said the company. “The counters deliver eight significant digits ...

Siglent has introduced a two-channel arbitrary waveform generator series with 16bit 1Gsample/s sampling and outputs at up to 60GHz. The SDG1000X Plus series is a step up from the existing SDG1000X series, which also extends to 60MHz, but which has 14bits and 150Msample/s. Standard sample memory in the new generators is 8Mpoint. The LCD display measures 4.3inch and, as well ...

Lake Shore Cryotronics is aiming at the characterisation of 2D and nano electronic devices with a source measure unit capable of resolving 3nV and 1fA. A source measurement unit is essentially a four-quadrant power supply with in-built voltage and current measurement. “As traditional materials-based semiconductor devices continue to shrink and operate at ever-lower signal levels, engineers find it more difficult ...

XJTAG is previewing its latest hardware product, the XJLink-PF40 JTAG controller, at Electronica 2024. The electronic testing specialist is also showing version 4.0 of its XJTAG software suite in action. Aimed at PCB engineers working from prototype debugs to manufacturing tests, XJLink-PF40 targets complex, high-density circuit boards. Note that the product is due for release in 2025. Read our full ...

Rohde & Schwarz revealed a second-generation if its entry level oscilloscope with two or four channels, and bandwidth options of 70, 100, 200 or 300MHz. Guide price for the 70MHz two channel model is €1,690. RTB 2 is an an evolution of the 2017 RTB2000, keeping the touchscreen and 10bit vertical resolution, and adding an arbitrary waveform generator and 160Mpoint ...

PC oscilloscope maker Pico Technology has upgraded power measurement in its companion analysis software to include crest factor, dc power, area at ac and area at dc – with net, positive, negative and absolute variants. These are included in its latest stable release (7.1.39) of PicoScope in all three versions, for: Windows, Linux or MacOS. Other enhancements include: 10BASE-T1S decode ...

However, its assortment is also distinguished by a wide diversity and includes solutions designed for professional applications. See below for an overview of the UNI-T product choice, including a strictly specified product range, i.e. function/arbitrary generators. These are some of the most important laboratory instruments ...

Spectrum Instrumentation has a new flagship PCIe card arbitrary waveform generator, capable of 10Gsample/s 2.5GHz outputs and 16bit vertical resolution. Called M5i.6357-x16, it can store up to 8Gsamples (16Gbyte) internally, and data can be streamed into it on-the-fly from the host CPU or GPU. “Each card comes with 2Gsample of on-board memory – 8Gsample is optional – and data transfer ...
