Compact bench power supply provides 175W
The EX355, new from TTi (Thurlby Thandar Instruments), is a single-output laboratory DC power supply providing an output from 0 to 35V at 0 to 5A.
Programmable power-supplies offer outputs to 1kW
The XHR range of programmable power supplies, offering output ratings up to 1 kW is power-factor corrected for low current draw and reduced generation of input current harmonics.
The standard timebase is a 10GHz temperature-compensated oscillator with 3ppb per day aging.
An optional oven oscillator provides even greater accuracy with 0.5ppb per day aging.
For more demanding applications, a rear panel input allows connection of a 5 or 10MHz timebase.
Built-in statistical functions are provided in all modes.
These include mean, maximum, minimum, standard deviation and Allan variance.
An easy-to-read 16-digit LED display shows any of these parameters on sample sizes from one to one million.
The new instrument measures virtually any signal with a variety of arming and gating modes.
Intervals up to 1000s in +/-time, +time or external (with or without holdoff) arming modes can be measured.
Frequency may be measured over 12 orders of magnitude.
The frequency range extends from 0.001Hz to 1.3GHz.
Preprogrammed frequency measurement gates include one period, 0.01, 0.1 and 1.0s, or external.
With an external trigger, gates may be programmed from 1us to 10ms.
"Start/stop" inputs range from -5 to +5V, and may be terminated at 1Mohm or 50ohm.
Regardless of signal shape, duty cycle or amplitude, the SR620 allows fast measurement setup.
The SR620 adds graphics to any measurement by displaying histograms and time-variation plots on any x-y oscilloscope.
Graphs may be sent to a plotter or printer.
GPIB and RS232 interfaces are provided as standard for ATE and other applications.
An optional applications software package is also available.
Two DVM inputs (+/-2 or +/-20V full-scale) and two D/A (+/-10V full-scale) outputs on the rear panel allow DC voltages to be sent to and received by a host computer.
The SR620 costs GBP 4975 (plus VAT).
