Test and Measurement Tips

Instrumentation handles functional test of electric motor components

By

The LT400 system is a laboratory windings quality analyzer system designed to perform partial discharge (PD) measurements on components such as coils, motors, generators, etc. With the LT400, companies can perform standard high voltage tests (AC and Pulse) with PD measurements allowing the discovery of defects not detectable with the standard tests. The LT400 integrates […]

Immersive e-learning platform for R&D leaders and engineers

By

Keysight University is an interactive online platform for engineers to learn about test and measurement fundamentals, engineering design tips and best practices in their industries. As Keysight’s expansive customer base of engineers and R&D leaders look to keep pace with emerging technologies such as cellular 5G, quantum and connected cars, the company created an immersive […]

Tester handles all-in-one LMR, PMR and LTE radio testing

By

The CX300 ComXpert is a comprehensive communications test and alignment solution in an easy-to-use, ruggedized form factor. The CX300 is the first LTE-ready radio test set equipped to test both radio and broadband network infrastructure, helping today’s radio technicians ensure complete communications coverage. As the global public safety radio market rapidly transitions from analog to […]

Here’s a rundown on free layout/PCB software

By

There are dozens of free PCB-layout and schematic packages available on the Web. Often they are stripped-down versions of more complex packages available for licensing. Often, the process of upgrading from freeware to more sophisticated versions is pretty easy. If your circuit needs are generally confined to relatively straightforward two-layer boards, here are a few […]

Waveguide Gunn diode oscillators are mechanically tunable

By

A new line of waveguide Gunn diode oscillators are candidates for electronic warfare, electronic countermeasures, microwave radio systems, military and commercial communications systems and more. Pasternack’s new mechanically tunable waveguide Gunn diode oscillators cover WR-90, WR-42 and WR-28 waveguide sizes and support X, K and Ka bands. All models in this line operate at 50 […]

Catch that glitch: Finding race conditions

By

Among the problems circuit designers have to contend with in their fast and complex electronic environment are race conditions. The term used to be exclusively applied to electronic logic problems but has now been adopted by software engineers working on multithreaded programs. Briefly, software race conditions arise in multithreaded software when multiple threads attempt to […]

Analyzer/exerciser/jammer platform for PCI Express 5.0 handles multiple users

By

The VIAVI Xgig 5P16 platform now supports analyzer bifurcation and multi-user functionality, enabling multiple users and simultaneous tests on a single platform. These enhancements allow simultaneous protocol analysis for PCI Express® (PCIe) 5.0 data traffic at all layers of the stack, speeding time-to-market and controlling total cost of ownership (TCO) for development and production of […]
