Modules put more power into test systems
Additional modules extend the N6700 low-profile modular power system to 300W.
Agilent Technologies has introduced two additional modules for its popular N6700 low-profile modular power system that extend its high-performance capabilities up to 300W These modules build on Agilent's industry leadership in the number of outputs and amount of power that can be packed into a 1U (1-EIA rack unit) rack-mountable system

Analyser exercises PCI Express protocols
Agilent Technologies has introduced the industry's first complete and integrated x1 to x16 protocol analyser and exerciser solution for PCI Express (PCIe) 2.0.
The new modules represent Agilent's next step in a series of enhancements to the Agilent N6700 low-profile modular power system (MPS), which gives test system integrators in the aerospace/defence, consumer electronics, computers and peripherals, communications, semiconductor, and automotive industries the flexibility to optimise performance, power and price to meet test needs.
The Agilent N6700 MPS was the industry's first power supply to receive LXI certification and enjoys overwhelming customer acceptance.
"Our customers value the small size and the mix-and-match design of the Agilent N6700 MPS", said Scott Sampl, Vice President and General Manager of Agilent's System Products Division.

Multiservice tester expands for Carrier Ethernet
Agilent Technologies has developed an expanded Carrier Ethernet conformance test portfolio on its N2X multiservices test solution as part of a collaboration with Net-O2 Technologies.
"But for some customers, their ATE systems require even more - the power supplies must be small in size plus have higher power, speed and performance".
"With these new modules, we continue to expand the MPS platform to deliver on all of those requirements at the same time".
The Agilent N6753A and N6754A modules, together with the 20 modules already offered, comprise a family ranging in power from 50W to 300W at three different performance levels: basic, high performance and precision.
Test system integrators can mix and match any of these 22 modules in any of the three MPS mainframes to create a 1U-high DC power system of one to four outputs at prices starting at US $1000 per output.
The Agilent N6700 MPS gives test system designers the flexibility to select from and combine 22 different DC power modules in any of three MPS mainframes.
Test system designers can create a one- to four-channel DC power system totalling 400, 600 or 1200W in a 1U-high package optimised to meet specific test requirements.
Test system engineers can invest in high-performance outputs where speed and accuracy are needed, or purchase basic performance outputs for simple DC power requirements at prices starting at $1000 per output.
The N6700 modular power system is fully compliant with the LXI class C specification.
It has USB 2.0, 10/100 Base-T Ethernet (LAN) and GPIB interfaces as standard features, allowing quick and simple connectivity to a PC or a network.
The Agilent N6700 can also be remotely operated from any browser by connecting to its built-in Web page.
The MPS is an Agilent Open product offering that ensures industry-standards-based open connectivity in hardware and software.
The Agilent N6700 MPS modules are available for purchase now, and will begin shipping this month.
The new 300W high-performance, autoranging DC power modules are the N6753A (20V, 50A, 300W) and the N6754A (60V, 20A, 300W).
Each 300W power module is priced at US $2250.
