T&M and Monitoring

Increased demand for 16-Bit Generators that satisfy the requirements of more rugged and industrial applications will be the target for RIGOL Technologies’ DG2000 Series of Arbitrary Function Generators. There are three DG2000 models ranging from 50MHz to 100MHz making them ideal for today’s mainstream requirements.

Designed for engineers and scientists that need to simultaneously generate multiple electronic test signals, Spectrum Instrumentation’s latest line of Arbitrary Waveform Generators offers 24 to 48 synchronous channels in a single rack-unit with a very economic cost-per-channel.

Farnell has added the Schützinger range to its portfolio of test connectors, leads, probes and In-circuit (IC) clips with nearly 500 new products now in stock and ready for same day shipping. The reliable, precision-made test and measurement components are ideal for product development, manufacture testing and servicing equipment in a diverse range of industries.

Analog Devices has announced the release of MeasureWare, a plug and play suite of hardware measurement kits and software studio tools to help fulfil the growing need for precision measurement across multiple industries including precision agriculture, machine health monitoring, electrochemistry and other areas requiring precise measurement.

The GNV-720 and GNV-725 Humidity Temperature Meters from Global Specialties are portable, dual function meters with three environmental sensors. With precision capacitance and semiconductor sensors incorporated directly into the remote wand, more accurate results may be obtained by the ability to direct the sensor placement.  

The ZEN series waveform monitors and rasterizers from Leader Electronics have been enhanced with the ability to decode and display the SR Live Metadata packet proposed by Sony Imaging Products & Solutions.

A portable analyser designed for monitoring emissions from ships is now available for sale or rent from Ashtead Technology. The Testo 350 MARITIME is a portable analyser certified for the measurement of marine diesel engine exhaust gas emissions according to MARPOL Annexe VI and NOx Technical Code 2008. It also complies with the directive on marine equipment and has the MED mark of conformity 0098/2018.

The MDA 8000HD Motor Drive Analysers launched today (October 1) by Teledyne LeCroy leverage the WaveRunner 8000HD High Definition Oscilloscope (HDO) platform of eight analogue channels, 12-bit vertical resolution at all times, up to 5 Gigapoints of acquisition memory (1.25 Gigapoints on all eight channels), 10 GS/s sample rate, and bandwidths up to 2GHz.

During a routine inspection at a substation, a Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) electrician felt heat blast his face as he passed within a couple of metres of an energised transformer bank. Some heat is expected, of course, but the intensity of it alarmed him. He immediately grabbed a handheld thermal imaging camera from his van and verified that there was a major issue and the system was shut down for investigation.

Now available at Conrad Electronic are Fluke’s new MDA-510 and MDA-550 motor drive analysers. They offer accurate and fast error analysis on complex single and three phase variable speed drives, and provide the user with an effective tool to detect and correct typical errors.
