2-way wideband active splitter
Picotest’s J2161A, 2-Way Wideband Active Splitter enables 2-port shunt-through impedance measurement on oscilloscopes such as the Tektronix Series 5 and 6 scopes, which offers a software add-on (5/6-PWR software) to enable this measurement in the frequency domain. The J2161A supports a typical measurement bandwidth or 100Hz to 500MHz and impedances down to 1 mOhmA ground loop exists in the two-port shunt-through configuration. The Picotest J2102B pairs with the J2161A. The price of the J2102B-BNC is $699 and the J2102B-N is $799. Picotest2 GHz MSO8000 series digital oscilloscope
RIGOL Technologies expands its UltraVision II oscilloscope portfolio with the MSO8000 Series Digital Oscilloscope. Delivering bandwidth up to 2 GHz and a new Jitter and Real-Time Eye Analysis package, the MSO8000 Series extends serial data analysis and signal integrity applications. The MSO8000 delivers the same 7 instruments-in-1 capability as the other UltraVision II oscilloscopes. Logic analysis, protocol analysis, spectrum analysis, and waveform generation are all built into the instrument, maximizing utility. The product also offers advanced analysis capabilities like zone triggering, histogram, enhanced FFT, precision measurements, and power analysis. RIGOL TechnologiesAC/DC programmable power supply series
TDK Corporation’s 1U Full-Rack 1.7kW AC/DC Programmable Power Supply Series has 10 models, ranging from 10V-170A to 600V-2.8A, with advanced performance and functionality suitable for design, test, and measurement in the laboratory/R&D environment. Built into a lightweight 1U high, 19-inch (483mm) wide rack-mountable chassis, the 1.7kW power supply series offers five embedded front panel setup menus that address digital communication, protective functions, operating configuration, system configuration, and system triggering. Menu functions include internal resistance simulation and slew-rate control of output voltage/current and can generate, store, recall and activate up to four onboard arbitrary waveform profiles. TDK CorporationHigh-precision vertical elevator stage
Optimal Engineering Systems’ two new high precision Z-axis elevator stage—the AZV9010 and the AZV9020 motorized Z-axis linear positioning stages—have vertical travels of 10 mm and 20 mm, respectively. The vertical motion of each Z-axis stage is driven by an 8 mm diameter ball screw with a 1 mm lead, and guided by cross roller bearings. The stages have resolutions of 0.1 µm or 0.05 µm, with 10/20 micro-steps per step motor drive, and repeatability of +/- 0.5 microns. Each stage has a 90 x 90 mm table with threaded holes for fixtures or tooling. OES13 GHz and 16 GHz DPO70000SX series scopes
Tektronix has expanded its scalable DPO70000SX Series Performance Oscilloscope with 13 GHz and 16 GHz models. Engineers can take advantage of the high sample rate and low noise floor of these oscilloscopes at lower bandwidth levels and more affordable price points. This platform extension brings high-end capabilities to USB, display port, HDMI, LPDDR, MIPI C-PHY, and D-PHY, plus legacy server storage applications. The new 13 GHz and 16 GHz models offer four 50 GS/s sample rate input channels able to synchronize up to four scopes for a total of 16 input channels. TektronixOpen aperture voice coil stages
The compact open aperture HCDS-051-032-013-01-B1-30 and the HCDS-051- 032-013-01-B1-01 voice coil stages from Moticont have a footprint of 2.00 in. (50.8 mm) wide by 5.00 in (127.0 mm) long and feature positioning resolutions of 30 µm and 1 µm, respectively. The 1 µm resolution HCDS-051-032-013-01-B1-01 Voice Coil Stage features cross roller linear bearings, whereas the 30 µm HCDS-051-032-013-01-B1-30 Voice Coil Stage uses linear ball bearings. Each of these stages has a 0.97 in. (24.6 mm) range of motion, with 6.3 lb. (28.2 N) of continuous force and 20.0 lb (89.9 N) peak force. MoticontNGM200 power supply series
Rhode & Schwarz’ NGL200 and the new R&S NGM200 series supply stable outputs with minimal ripple and noise. These devices switch from a few µA in sleep mode to several A in active mode from the fast load recovery time of less than 30 µs. The NGM200 series has four new features: A FastLog function captures spikes even in the µs range; Additional measurement ranges increase the read-back accuracy in the lower ranges; Battery simulation supports the modeling of batteries to simulate real-life conditions; And, a built-in digital voltmeter measures values at any point in circuits of the DUT.

Vitrek introduces QT Enterprise, a major upgrade to its PC-based software designed to control operation of the company’s V7x and 95x lines of high-performance electrical safety (hipot) testers and 98X Series insulation resistance testers. In test situations where multiple test points are involved, the QT Enterprise platform can interface with Vitrek’s 964i High Voltage Switching Systems to further automate the process. For complex setups, QT Enterprise can display detailed instructions and images to the operator to ensure proper connections prior to testing. QT Enterprise is a feature-rich safety testing software platform, providing time and cost-saving features. Vitrek
