product discoveries we've found may be just what you need to spring ahead
with fixing or speeding up a tough design challenge,
or to make you a hero by passing some helpful news on to a friend. And a
couple of our recent notable products - Plessey's EPIC sensor
and the iMSO-104
scope-for-iPhone - are finalists in the 2012 UBM ACE Awards.

16-bit Very High
Resolution 5MHz Scope
|
|
 The PS4262 is
a 2-channel, 5 MHz 16-bit-resolution oscilloscope that includes a
built-in low-distortion signal generator. The PS4262 is a
full-featured oscilloscope with a function/arbitrary waveform generator
that includes a sweep function to facilitate rapid frequency response
analysis. It also offers advanced scope capabilities such as: spectrum
analysis, mask limit testing, math functions, reference waveforms,
advanced digital triggering, serial decoding, automatic measurements,
and color persistence display. Its performance rivals more
expensive dedicated audio and dynamic signal analyzers. Careful
front-end design and shielding has minimized noise, crosstalk, and
harmonic distortion to yield a precision 16-bit data acquisition
tool. More...

New USB2.0
Isolator
|
|
 Just plug your USB device into the USB2ISOs connector
and then plug the USB2ISO
into a hub or PC. The PC and your USB device now have no electrical
connection but can still talk to each other. The USB2ISO module
also transfers 400mA/5V power from the PC to your USB device with no
direct electrical connection. USB devices can now be protected and
attached to other ground potentials without ground loops that could harm
computers, USB devices and other attached electronic devices. More ...

Electrical Fault Logger
|
|
 FTR-Birdie is
a simple to use, self-contained electrical test and fault-finding logger
which records and displays all on/off voltage changes at its 16 inputs.
Applications include monitoring, logging, and fault finding for control
systems, security systems, heating and ventilation systems, production machinery,
lift control gear, etc. The FTR-Birdie can quickly pay for
itself by solving expensive production-line-down situations in complex
control systems, just like a 'Black Box' accident recorder. FTR-Birdie can
be connected to a maximum of 16 key points within an electrical system
under test. The solid-state, isolated input channels are fused for
maximum reliability and safety, and the input on/off status of each line
is displayed by bright LED indicators and on an LCD display. A wide input
range of voltages can be monitored, from 12V to 240VAC/DC, without any
need to program, select, or configure the inputs. More...

World's
Smallest Oscilloscope - now with larger OLED
|
|
Xminilab is
an amazingly sophisticated miniature combination of three electronic
instruments: a mixed signal oscilloscope with advanced trigger options,
an arbitrary waveform generator, and a protocol sniffer. Measuring
only 3.3" x 1.75", it can be mounted directly on a breadboard
or PCB for in situ testing and verification. A 2.4"
128x64 pixel OLED display is mounted on the board, displaying the
monitored signals with automatic measurements, adjustable persistence,
cursors, and grids. As a Mixed Signal Oscilloscope, Xminilab offers
simultaneous 2MSa/s sampling of 2 analog signals (DC to 200kHz) as well
as 8 digital lines. More...

Easy-to-use Serial-WiFi Modules
|
 WizFi210 and WizFi220 WiFi modules
offer a quick, easy, and cost effective way for device and appliance
manufacturers to add Wi-Fi capabilities to their products. The modules
provide WiFi/serial UART interface for any embedded design utilizing an
8/16/32-bit microcontroller via simple AT commands. WizFi210 and WizFi220 WiFi are
ideal solutions for organizations with limited or no Wi-Fi or RF
expertise, as it not only dramatically reduces RF design time, but also
removes the burden of testing and certification, allowing customers to focus
on their core application, product, or expertise. More...

High
Performance PCIe Digital I/O Cards
|
|
 PCIe-200
series cards are new high performance digital I/O data acquisition boards
that implement the high-bandwidth advantage of the PCI Express x1
interface for large-scale data transfer, low latency and low power
consumption. Designed to meet stringent performance requirements, the PCIe-200 cards
feature guaranteed measurement accuracy and are ideal for a wide range of
applications such as scientific research, laboratory/building automation,
design validation, manufacturing test & measurement and embedded OEM
applications. The new series comprises three different cards: PCIe-215, PCIe-236
and PCIe-296
which feature 48, 24 and 96 bits of programmable parallel digital I/O
with two 82C54 counter timers respectively. Users can cost-effectively
migrate to this PCIe form factor seamlessly as this new DIO series is
backward compatible with existing Amplicon PCIe-200 series
DIO Boards. More...

Amplicon
Panel PCs Upgraded
|
|
 Medium-sized Panel PC's have steadily
increased in popularity due to improvements in both processor and display
technologies. Our latest Senses
models utilize Intel's® Atom™ Processor, one of the recent success
stories within industrial electronics. The Senses 5200 series
Panel PCs have been designed with harsh environments in mind. All models
feature a rugged aluminum front bezel and protective glass screen with
integral touchscreen; fully protected against dust ingress and water jets
to IP65/NEMA 4 protection, with WLAN IEEE 802.b and 802.11g options. A
newly designed anti-vibration system allows the standard 2.5" hard
drive to withstand forces up to 1.3g. Fitting one of Amplicon's
Industrial Solid State Drives or CompactFlash cards increases the
operational vibration further to an impressive 3g. This also extends
operational temperatures from as low as -10°C and up to 55°C. More...

RF Amplifiers with High Output
|
|
 Tabor's Model 9400
was designed as a general purpose, wide band and high voltage amplifier
with specific applications in mind. It has four channels built in a small
case size to save space and cost but without compromising bandwidth and
signal integrity. The Model
9400 provides precise signal amplification for multiple
applications from DC to >500 kHz, and outputs from -200 to +200 V (400
Vp-p) with up to 50 mA output current. There's even a special
unipolar mode for MEMS engine drivers. More...

Tabor Technical Tip
|
|
 The two channels in the WS8352 can be
used separately or they can be synchronized. If the two channels are used
separately, it's like having two instruments in one box. If
synchronized, the two channels can be offset with a skew control
resolution of 10ps. This is ideal for applications such as IQ
baseband generation, photonics, lasers and many others. Modifying the
synchronization mode can be done either through the front panel (Utility
-> Clocks -> Feed -> Separate / Common) or through a downloaded
control command. More ...
