JTAG chip testers get mixed-signal tool
“The test module is intended for use by system builders looking to add analogue capabilities into a JTAG/boundary-scan test system,” said James Stanbridge of JTAG Technologies
Scopes for a grand
For the simple tasks, in these days of austerity, exactly how much scope can you get for a grand? The short answer is: "A lot more than you could get even five years ago...
Trust FPGAs to make testing simple
No longer is simple stimulus and response testing enough, test systems need to simulate the world and for this FPGA-based instruments come into their own, writes Jeremy Twaits from National Instruments
Test rent to buy can reduce pressure on budgets
Test equipment rental firms Livingston and Microlease believe it is possible to reduce pressure on budgets by offering a rental rebate schemes

Pico Technology intros 5GS/s PC scope
The oscilloscopes offer 4 channels with a maximum sampling rate of 5Gsample/s, a range of input bandwidths from 250MHz to 500MHz
Unwanted noise? Deal with it
Unwanted noise is introduced in all electronic circuits and providing sufficient noise margin for Vcc and GND specifications is paramount, writes Howard Venning
Under the bonnet of a mixed-signal oscilloscope
To understand the benefits of using a mixed-signal oscilloscope it is helpful to see how it performs time-correlated acquisition and analysis of digital and analogue signals, writes Wolfgang Herbordt
Fast oscilloscopes uncovered
Steve Bush takes a look at the industry’s fastest real-time oscilloscopes and finds some interesting similarities as well as differentiators. Bandwidths have soared amongst high-end scopes in the last 12 months, as all of the major companies announced fast four channel scopes with options to almost double bandwidth by reducing this to two channels. Just last week, Agilent revealed its ...
