Testing

For musicians and roadies on tour, BI Technologies has a repair kit for guitars and effect pedals with faulty potentiometers.

"The fundamental operating principles enable it to work through a front panel, such as plastic, stainless steel or aluminium, providing a completely sealed user interface that works through gloves and on surfaces that contain liquids," said Microchip.

Aeroflex has plans to expand its test system product development team in the UK at its Donibristle facility in Scotland.

According to Ron Nersesian, president of Agilent’s electronic measurement business: “The talented RF team and the former Keithley product line will be strong additions to Agilent, building on our leadership position in RF measurements.”

For some oscilloscope applications, you need to measure a large dynamic range of values, and at the same time you need fine resolution to measure small changes in a parameter

"The divestiture of our RF product line enables us to increase our focus on our core technologies and we intend to expand our efforts to leverage these strengths in support of new growth opportunities such as energy efficiency related devices and materials,” said Keithley

In many cases, when hardware and software engineers are working together to troubleshoot the root cause of a specific problem, they require a view of information on a bus – both its electrical representation and also at a higher level of abstraction, such as the decoded view of a serial bus protocol

Agilent Technologies has added to its digital storage oscilloscope and digitiser portfolio with three low-profile models in the Infiniium 90008 series

"This marks a fundamental change in our approach to the market. We are making boundary scan more accessible and crucially more affordable," said James Stanbridge, UK sales manager at JTAG Technologies

Scope maker LeCroy introduces PCI Express Gen 1.x, 2.0 and 3.0 decode annotation for validation and debug, adding protocol awareness to its physical layer tools.
