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.
Full signal bandwidth of up to 700MHz with 2Gsample/s sampling can be achieved on both channels.
Up to eight cards can be synchronised using true internal synchronisation to provide up to 16 channels in a single system.
Advanced timing features such as trigger time sampling, clock in/out and trigger-in/trigger-out help to ensure accurate data capture.
Multiple records can be captured with a minimum record length of 16bit, allowing high-speed repetitive events to be stored on board before downloading.
Powerful onboard firmware options including signal averaging, finite-impulse-response filtering and peak detection allow the waveform to be analysed on the card and downloaded via the fast (200Mbyte/s) PCI interface.
Programming-free operation is provided with GaGeScope oscilloscope software, and software development kits are available for LabView, Matlab and C/C# to allow Cobra digitisers to be easily integrated into users' measurement systems.
Cobra digitisers will replace the popular GaGe Compuscope 82G and 8500 products.
Special education discounts are available for academic users.
