Test & Measurement: Compact Module Analyzes Network, Impedance, Frequency Response

Nov. 29, 2004

Patent-pending high-performance DSP technology, efficient design, and an intuitive and powerful Windows-compatible Virtual Front Panel control and reporting software are all features of the Circuit Sleuth 2.0 swept sine-wave frequency-response analyzer. It's a versatile pc-based and portable (less than 2 lb) measurement and analysis tool for network, impedance, and frequency-response attributes. Three models are available, depending on bandwidth: SA-01 (10 Hz to1 MHz), SA-10 (1 Hz to 10 MHz), and SA-40 (0.1 Hz to 40 MHz). Prices range from $4500 to $6300. Delivery is within 30 days.
