It provides a simple way of monitoring the logic levels present on the WTB and allows the easy integration of products without built in WTB capability into a system with WTB support.
The 60-981 WTB probe allows users to monitor the analogue signals present on the WTB, providing wide bandwidth buffered signals that can be used by a high speed scope.
Thanks to the probe BW of 1GHz the signals provide an accurate representation of the WTB activity without significantly loading the WTB.
The 60-983 is an LXI compliant cable terminator that can be used at the end of the WTB to correctly terminate the transmission line.
The 60-985 WTB cable assemblies are LXI WTB compliant cables available in standard and custom lengths of 0.3m and greater.
According to David Owen, Business Development Manager for Pickering Interfaces: "The availability of these accessories is a major step forward in the adoption of the LXI WTB into test systems".
"With all the key parts now commercially available it will become easier to introduce more Class A products and it becomes simple for users to integrate legacy products having different trigger mechanisms into the LXI trigger model".
"The presence of just one Class A device in a system will allow users to take advantage of 1588 timing information".
