Portable 2-Channel Oscilloscopes
The MS6000 instruments offer 23 automatic measurements and utilize a peak-detect function for 10-ns glitch capture. The oscilloscopes feature a waveform recorder mode and can store/recall up to 1,000 waveform screens/frames and setups using a 2-GB microSD card. USB connectivity provides another option for data and waveform transfer. An FFT function is available for investigating harmonic content and distortion. Extech Instruments
LXI Scalable and Modular Matrix
The modular construction is invisible to the user to simplify programming, and the Java-based soft front panel presents a simple integrated interface reflecting the build of the matrix via the web interface. Pickering Interfaces
Test Interfaces with Fixture Table
SCOUT Interfaces now are available with an integral fixture table. The table supports the fixture while disengaged, promotes proper alignment, and engages the interchangeable test adapter (ITA) directly. The table allows the user to engage or disengage a fixture directly from the work table with no lifting required. An integral work table kit enables users to add the table as needed. SCOUT is a mass-interconnect system that can be used in PXI instrument platforms. MAC Panel

Programmable Power Supplies
The Z+ Series of programmable power supplies now includes 200-W models in addition to the previously released 400-W models. These 2U-format benchtop and rack-mountable power supplies are designed to meet the demands of a variety of ATE, laboratory, and OEM applications including test and measurement, semiconductor burn-in, component test, LED/laser test, RF amplifier test, and electromagnetic and electrochemical applications. The Z+200 provides 200 W of output power with an output voltage range from 0 to 100 VDC and output currents up to 20 A. The Z+200 is 33% smaller and 40% lighter than the previous generation (ZUP series) and similar products, thus providing a 49% increase in power density. TDK-Lambda

Thermal Imaging Camera
A new camera system that can be used in electronics applications such as detecting short circuits incorporates the IR LabMate Thermal Imaging Camera, required cables, and Thermalyze Image Analysis Software. The IR LabMate camera utilizes a 320 x 240 array detector, has a temperature sensitivity of 0.08°C, uses an Ethernet interface, and comes with a wide angle lens. Optional accessories include a camera stand, a circuit board test probe, a high calibration range, and a relay output module to synchronize board power with software tests. OptoTherm
Wireless Sensor/Transmitter System
The zSeries Wireless Sensor/Transmitter System provides web-based monitoring of temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure as well as thermocouples and any transducer with analog voltage or current output. The new zED-DC-H2 can run on low-voltage power: 10 to 30 VDC or 24 VAC. The electronics are protected in a rugged, weatherproof, polycarbonate NEMA4/IP65-rated housing.
You can set alarms to be notified by email. Alarms can be sent to a single user or to a group distribution list, including text messages to cell phones. The coordinator/meter-controller connects directly to an Ethernet network and the Internet and serves active web pages to display and chart the data. Omega Engineering

Electronic Loads
DL Series Electronic DC Loads offer high-speed feedback control. Fast response times eliminate the common problem of overshoot and undershoot, better emulating a real-world electronic load. Design engineers, quality assurance managers, and production test engineers developing power supplies, batteries, fuel cells, and solar cells can use the electronic loads during design and manufacturing. Four DL Series load models are available, each with six modes combining constant voltage, current, and resistance from 300 W to 1,000 W. DL Series loads can be ganged together to configure up to a 10-kW system. Prices for the loads, manufactured by NF Corp., start at $4,000. Global Test Solutions
WLAN 802.11ac Test System
A new test system based on the company’s PXI 3000 Series modular instrumentation offers measurements over a 160-MHz bandwidth at frequencies up to 6 GHz. The new system is suited for making R&D, design verification, and production measurements on WLAN devices based on IEEE 802.11ac. The WLAN 802.11ac test system comprises the Aeroflex 3070 Vector Signal Analyzer and the 3050/3320 Vector Signal Generator and is housed in the new PXI 3005 Smart PXI Chassis with universal AC power supply. When used with the WLAN 802.11ac Measurement Suite and IQCreator, the test system provides complete waveform generation and analysis capability for high-bandwidth 802.11ac WLAN devices. Aeroflex
