PicoScope 7 Automotive Software Released!

 PicoScope 7 Automotive software represents a major step forward in design and usability, having been developed from the ground up to fully support the touchscreen devices that are now commonplace within vehicle repair workshops. It retains all the benefits that made PicoScope 6 Automotive the industry standard, and introduces significant usability enhancements to make it easier for all technicians to learn and use. For the first time, PicoScope 7 Automotive is now available on macOS and Linux operating systems in addition to Windows 10 (and soon Windows 11).

FOrensic Examination of Smartphones & Laptops

The Ramsey STE3000F2 EMI Enclosure was designed to give forensics technicians the equivalent of a highly isolated screen room right on his bench to perform hands-on smartphone and tablet interrogations; secure evaluation of email, text and SMS messages, document storage, picture, image, and media storage, notepad, journal, and a host of other functions and services. The forensic evaluation has a built-in video camera for recording history that is critical for evidence gathering.

How To Fix ATMs!

In this video, ABI staff are talking to a multinational company specializing in banking automation systems. In this short video recorded during the Teams meeting with the client, Mohneeb Ahmed shows how legacy #ATM control boards can be tested and diagnosed from the edge connector before being powered up to run I/O and power rail tests, boundary scan test on their Altera chips and finally drill into other logic and analog devices including discrete components if required.

Suspense as Helicopter Sensor flies into theatre role ...

 With theatres striving to create breath-taking spectacles and leave the audience gasping for more, there is often world-class engineering behind the scenes. A British company is developing technology to ensure safety when excited performers and heavy machinery share the same space.

If live theatre is to compete with film and television, it has to produce visual spectacles to complement the performance of the actors, singers and musicians on stage. Hollywood’s increasing reliance on CGI (computer generated imagery) has upped the ante for stage set designers, who have to work before a live audience, in restricted space and with a constant eye on the safety of the many people working frantically round the set.

Many stage props and almost all of the backdrops are lowered onto the stage from the fly tower just behind it. Usually this is done quickly between scenes, but sometimes it is during – and as part of – the actual performance. Either way, safety and reliability are essential.

“Until recently, the sets were manually controlled with a technical stage manager watching everything from the wings and giving instructions by radio to the winch operators above.” explains Tony Ingham of Sensor Technology who is helping to introduce safety systems and automation to the theatre industry.

“Speed is of the essence during scene changes, but you have to be confident the winches won’t fail – which could easily damage the set or injure a person.”

Sensor Technology is achieving this using real-time load signals from each winch. The data is monitored by a computer in the control room so that instant action can be taken if any loads move out of tolerance.

TRAINing in progress ... !

 ABI hosted one of the world's leading train manufacturers for an in depth review of ABI's #BoardMaster and how it can help Alstom reduce waste and downtime through the repair of electronic circuit boards. Today's meeting involved managers from across the world. One of them called the ABI system "magical" 😉 while the other told the rest of the group "this is the century when rail electronics must be repaired and waste reduced". With prices of spare parts skyrocketing, component shortage, programmed obsolescence and pressures to meet low carbon emission targets, in-house repairs of electronic circuit boards with ABI's #BoardMaster is guaranteed to put a lot of these problems to bed.

The Component Compliance Dilemma ...

 The ABI BoardMaster Universal PCB Test Solution is a means for insuring component and module performance equivalency in this age of shortages and long lead times.  ABI BoardMaster is a unique, versatile, self-contained, and easy-to-use electronics test system, housed in a convenient 19” rack case.  It is an all-in-one unit featuring a comprehensive set of built-in test instruments, complete with a built-in Windows 10 PC and special software, for testing almost any kind of IC, PCB, or assembly.  When components or modules become unavailable, component engineers need to assess whether a replacement part will perform as identically as the original, or even works as per the spec sheet.  This is especially important in medical or military equipment that has been through a lengthy and costly approval processes. Compliance engineers need to sign off on the correct performance of a possible replacement product. Conventional component compliance/equivalency testing often relies on an engineer’s assessment of a spec sheet, perhaps with the additional use of standard equipment like oscilloscopes, DMMs, or even just putting the component in a product to see if it works ‘correctly’.  These methods are hard to automate and are subjective between different operators. A critical issue is the ability to make accurate and bias-free measurements. The results of equivalency testing should be repeatable with different operators, even at different locations.  Assessing a manufactured electronic circuit board, module, or replacement component needs to consider not only the quality of the product, but also subtle performance qualities.

High Performance RF TEsting

 The VNA has become a powerful tool for analyzing broadband impedance up to the GHz region. One- and two-port circuits for S-parameter measurements can determine the impedance from milliohms to tens of kilohms. High performance swept Spectrum performance and advanced measurement solutions allow users to fully characterize antennas, amplifiers, filters, mixers, and the functional parameters of transmitters & phase-locked loops.
