The CNT-90 is a new tool for measurement, analysis and calibration of frequency, time interval or phase, whether in test systems, on the R and D bench, in the calibration lab or in the field.
Budget price for general-purpose spectrum analyser
The GW Instek GSP-827 general-purpose spectrum analyser is available from Aspen Electronics.
Available in the UK from specialist technical instrument distributor, Aspen Electronics, the GDS 2000 series includes 60, 100 and 200MHz bandwidth models in two and four channel versions.
Its modern design, with 5.6in TFT colour display and USB support, will ensure the GDS 2000 becomes the 'scope of choice for replacing aging analogue and digital models, and makes it suitable for a wide range of applications.
The DSOs feature 27 automatic measurement functions, FFT measurement, advanced triggering facilities, 12 division horizontal display, time clock, frequency counter, go/no go testing, language selection menu, on-board help functions and setup sequence.
Up to 24 waveforms can be stored in memory for later recall and display.
Notably, four saved reference waveforms together with four live waveforms can be displayed simultaneously.
Similarly, an engineer can call up a snapshot of all time and voltage related auto measurement readings of an input signal.
The provision of two USB host ports and the use of a USB flash drive significantly enhances data storage capability.
Easy connection to a PC and printer via the rear USB port facilitates data transfer and print out.
RS232 and GPIB interfaces are also available.
The combination of high sampling rate (1Gsample/s real time, 25Gsample/s equivalent time), long record length (25k points) and four channel inputs, makes these instruments particularly useful in the industrial sector, for RandD, general purpose test bench, troubleshooting, manufacturing test, and field service applications.
The low price tag will ensure they appeal equally to the educational market.
The optional battery power operation extends the application range of the GDS 2000 into field service, repair and maintenance areas, providing 3hours of remote operation between charges (automatic once connected to AC power).
