Versatile tester for IEEE-1394 bus
The new FireWorks 1394 VK9000 from Yokogawa Martron is designed to provide engineers with a powerful 'out of the box' solution for testing systems based on the IEEE-1394 bus.
Bluetooth analysis via the USB
At the Embedded Systems Show Yokogawa Martron is introducing a new Bluetooth analyser to complement its range of test and measurement tools for communications and bus protocol analysis.
Each consists of a case, power supply and CPU based on a 32bit 150MHz RISC processor.
USB and Ethernet communication facilities are built in, making the use of a separate communication module unnecessary.
The units are capable of identifying installed modules and controlling communication between the modules and the PC.
In addition, measurement modules within the units can exchange trigger and timebase signals with external equipment.
The "plug and play" capabilities provided by the USB interface means that there is no need to set communication parameters between the PC and the measuring station.
In addition, the built-in Ethernet interface removes the need for a separate communication module.
Other features include external synchronisation terminals, voice memo and web monitor functions and graphic display of instantaneous values.
Software tools allow the system to be used in automated test applications such as go/no-go assessments in manufacturing without the need for a PC.
The faster data processing resulting from the high-speed CPU and the internal computing power means that it is no longer necessary to rely on the PC to carry out data processing.
The Yokogawa WE7000 Series is a PC-based modular measurement system that can carry out measurements at up to 1Gsample/s on up to 270 channels.
Key features include traceability, simultaneous multichannel sampling and high-voltage isolated inputs (up to 350V RMS).
