Saelig Company News

 

August 2010

 

Dear Colleague,

I trust you're enjoying your summer!  Here at Saelig we've been busy hunting for new, remarkable  products.  We've also been busy writing for the technical press.  Did you see some of the recent white papers we've published?  Here are two:  "Why Should You Have a Digital Pattern Generator"  and "Bluetooth Moves Beyond The Earpiece To Rule Other Applications"  Since we last wrote we've announced the new products highlighted below!

New Owon Scopes

OWON PDS8102T OscilloscopeWe've just introduced two new benchtop scopes from Owon -the PDS8102T (100 MHz) and PDS8202T (200 MHz).  These low-cost 2-channel scopes sample at 1 Gsa/s and 2 GSa/s respectively, and are packed with useful features normally only seen on higher-end DSOs including video trigger, auto-measurements, large 8" full color LCD display, XY Mode, auto-set, averaging, math functions, USB output, waveform storage, 3-year warranty, etc.   Even FFT functionality is included to view spectrum information, as well as Autoscaling and Trigger Holdoff.  The record length is a huge 2M data points, which allows great depth for investigating fast, intermittent pulses.   More... 

12-bit Precision PC Oscilloscopes With Built-in AWG

Pico PS4227Pico's PS4227 is a new, economical 2-channel 100MHz USB scope with a real-time sampling rate of 250 MSa/s. This precision USB oscilloscope is ideal for general purpose, scientific and field-service use. With 12-bit resolution - adjustable up to 16 bits in enhanced resolution mode for repetitive signals - it also makes an excellent A/D choice for noise, vibration and mechanical analysis. Powered from a PC's USB port, PS4227 includes an integrated spectrum analyzer, function generator and arbitrary waveform generator - a complete test and measurement laboratory that is small enough to take anywhere.  A third input is a dedicated external trigger, while a fourth BNC connector is provided for the output of the signal generator.  This signal source allows you to create an arbitrary test signal, draw your own waveform using the graphical editor, or use one of the six preset waveform types. More...

 

New 50MHz Function Generator Sets New Price/Performance Point

TTI TG5011The TTi TG5011 is a combined Function/Arbitrary/Pulse Generator covering the extremely wide frequency range of 1µHz to 50MHz.  Providing high-purity sine waves with low harmonic distortion and very low phase noise over the full frequency range, TG5011 incorporates a pulse generator mode which provides wide range pulse width and delay independent of period. Pulse period can be set between 2000 seconds and 80ns (0.5mHz to 12.5MHz) and the duty cycle can be as low as one in two billion. Rise and fall times are also independently variable over a wide range. Waveform frequency can be accurately set at up to 14 digits and is based on a TCXO time-base oscillator with a stability of 1ppm. Even very low frequencies can be set (e.g. 1mHz with a resolution of 0.1%) with high stability (1ppm).  More...

 

Economical Ethernet Extender Sends 10/100 Ethernet Up To 300 Meters

iCON-32300The iCON-32300 range of Industrial Ethernet Extenders address the problem of typical UTP cables which cannot transmit over 100 meters length per segment.  iCON-32300 industrial Ethernet extenders can extend Ethernet connectivity in existing facilities over existing copper telephone wire or coaxial cable without needing to install extra cable. These reliable and rugged devices offer a wide operating temperature range and long MTBF and are ideal for building automation, security surveillance, digital signage, factory automation, and ITS (Intelligent Transportation Systems). iCON-32300 series extenders are enclosed in ruggedized aluminum cases that are wall, DIN-rail or panel mountable.   More...

 

Digital Handheld USB Microscope

FPC-130FPC-M130 is a new handheld digital microscope/magnifier for use with a laptop or PC for viewing items at high magnification - instantly! Easy to operate and carry, it is ideal for component and defect examination, PCB inspection, education, research, etc.  With a 1.3-mega pixel sensor resolution, FPC-M130 can shoot video at 30fps at VGA or 15fps at 1.3 mega pixels, sending the signal to a USB 2.0 interface, which also provides power.   FPC-M130 has a built-in-ring-stand and LED lighting  with manual lens focusing offering magnification up to 270x (19" monitor with 1,280 x 1,024 pixel resolution)   More...

 

Expand Your Scope's Capabilities

BytemasterLow-speed serial bus interfaces such as I2C and SPI are widely used today in electronic designs for chip-to-chip communication. In many designs these serial buses provide key points for test or analysis. However, since these protocols transfer bits serially, using a traditional oscilloscope has limitations. Traditional scope triggers are not sufficient for specifying I2C or SPI address information.

But now you can extend your scope capability very economically with our LAD-16128U Logic Analyzer, which offers both IC and SPI decoding and also triggering. Use this rising-edge trigger signal as the trigger input in your scope, and you have added great additional functionality to any economical scope. This eases debug and test for designs that include I2C or SPI protocols.  More...

 

3D Printer Kit from the Fab @ Home Project

FabAtHome ProjectThe Fab @ Home Project is an open-source worldwide collaboration for developing fabrication technology.  Aimed at bringing 3D fabrication to the individual user (somewhat like a personal copier) personal fabrication devices allow custom objects to be manufactured on-demand.  Just as the current digital copier allowed anyone to reproduce paper documents, the next digital revolution will allow anyone to make, sell, or buy fully functional objects.  Started at Cornell University in 2006, within one year the www.FabAtHome.org website received 17,000,000 hits and the project received a Popular Mechanics "Breakthrough Award".  Over 20,000 people a day now look at the Fab @ Home website, and the Fab @ Home project is supported by a global, open-source community of professionals and hobbyists, all excited about contributing to tomorrow's innovation - today! The design is affordable (~$2,400) and easy to build and modify due to the use of a pre-built motor control system, for which Saelig is the exclusive distributor. At the Fab @ Home website are plans that allow anyone to build their own "fabber" along with a description of the project's origins and worldwide examples of finished products.  

 

PICO PS6403 4-ch 8-bit 350MHz 1GS Oscilloscope

PICO PS6403We now have stock of this high-performance 4-channel 350 MHz scope from Pico Technology, which offers an enormous 1 Gsample memory buffer.  This high-end scope can display single-shot pulses with 200 ps time resolution. ETS mode boosts the maximum sampling rate even further, allowing a more detailed display of repetitive pulses. The PS6403 gives you the deepest buffer memory available as standard on any oscilloscope. Other scopes have high maximum sampling rates, but without deep memory they cannot sustain these rates on long timebases. The PS6403's huge 1-gigasample buffer allows you to capture at 5 GS/s down to 20 ms/ div - that's a total duration of 200 ms. Managing all this data calls for some powerful tools, so the free easy-use display software provided gives you a maximum zoom factor of 100 million in a choice of two zoom methods: a conventional set of zoom controls, plus an overview window that shows you the whole waveform while you zoom and reposition the display by simply dragging with the mouse.    More ...
