Android Apps for Use with Oscilloscopes

Tektronix announced the release of three new oscilloscope applications for use on Android smartphones. The free apps, available now on the Google Play store, allow users to remotely control and monitor their oscilloscopes or view and analyze waveforms on the go.

Oscilloscope with up to 68 Channels in a single PXI Chassis

National Instruments announced the NI PXIe-5162 digitizer and updates to the LabVIEW Jitter Analysis Toolkit. The digitizer, with 10 bits of vertical resolution and a 5 GS/s sample rate, provides high-speed measurements at four times the vertical resolution of a traditional 8-bit oscilloscope. With 1.5 GHz of bandwidth and four channels in a single slot, the NI PXIe-5162 is suited for high-channel-count digitizer systems in manufacturing test, research and device characterization.

Debugging Solution for the new XMC1000 Microcontroller Family of Infineon

PLS Programmierbare Logik & Systeme presents an optimized test and debugging solution, the Universal Debug Engine (UDE) version 4.0.2, for the new ARM Cortex-M0 core-based 32-bit microcontroller family XMC1000 of Infineon Technologies that delivers 32-bit performance at 8-bit prices.

Test Scenarios for LTE-Advanced Carrier Aggregation

Rohde & Schwarz has equipped its R&S CMW500 wideband radio communication tester with new software options for LTE-Advanced downlink carrier aggregation. Carrier aggregation allows network operators to create flexible combinations of frequency bands of different bandwidths and make even better use of the spectrum. In the downlink, wireless devices in an LTE-Advanced network are connected with two cells simultaneously.

Hardware-in-the-Loop Tests for Automotive Body Electronics

dSPACE has expanded its SCALEXIO hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) system by introducing the DS2690 Digital I/O Board, designed especially for body electronics. The DS2690 provides a high number of digital channels that cover all variants and functions of digital I/O signals. The flexibility to easily reprogram the functionality of the I/O channels lets users quickly adapt the HIL test system to different electronic control units (ECUs).

TV Signal Analyzer features DVB-C/S/S2/T Signal Analysis

GAO Tek is offering a high performance TV signal analyzer which features DVB-C/S/S2/T signal analysis function and MPEG2/4, H. 264, SD/HD decoding and image monitoring functions. This signal analyzer integrates QAM (J.83A/B/C), 8VSB, DVB-T/H/T2 and DVB-S/S2 standards. The TV signal analyzer, model A0N00020, provides analog and digital TV and satellite TV monitoring and different video decoding using DSP technology.
