No Tracking Generator? What To Do??!

 Ken Wyatt says: "When your spectrum analyzer lacks a tracking generator, you can use a low-cost noise generator to characterize RF components." Here’s how: https://www.testandmeasurementtips.com/noise-generator-substitutes-for-tracking-generator/

You can also use a comb generator: https://www.saelig.com/category/rf-comb-generator.htm

Military Kudos!

 Great endorsement for our PCB repair solution from UK's Defence Dept!

"The introduction of ABI’s BoardMaster and RevEng platforms within Defence Equipment & Support and DECA has fundamentally strengthened our approach to electronic obsolescence management. By enabling structured, component-level diagnostics and reverse engineering in-house, we have recovered high-value assets that would otherwise have been subject to costly redesign due to obsolescence or external repair routes.
The scale of savings achieved across multiple programmes runs into the millions of pounds, but equally important is the preservation of technical knowledge and the protection of operational availability. This partnership has been instrumental in helping us extend platform life, improve sustainment resilience, and deliver measurable value to MoD."
---Matt Darkin, Support Solution Specialist and Military Consultant at UK Ministry of Defence.

RF Choosing ...

 Our latest newsletter: "The Complete Guide To Choosing Your Next #RF Signal Generator". David Goins, founder of Windfreak Technologies, describes affordable, high-performance modular RF signal generators that combine precision, flexibility, and ease of use—bringing lab-grade capability to engineers, educators, and developers alike. https://www.saelig.com/news/newsletters/saelig-021726-newsletter.pdf

Chromebook use ...

 Chromebooks have become the dominant, nearly universal, 1:1 computing device in U.S. K-12 education, driven by their low cost ($200+), durability, and seamless integration with Google Workspace for Education. Nearly 9 in 10 middle/high schools and over 4 in 5 elementary schools use them, serving as primary tools for assignments, testing, and collaboration. Chromebooks hold a 58% market share for school mobile devices, largely due to affordability and ease of management for IT teams. They are designed for cloud-based work, featuring fast booting, long battery life, automatic updates, and strong, built-in security.

While they have transformed classroom access to technology, some schools are struggling with device management, such as maintaining inventory and dealing with repair-related learning gaps. Here's an affordable solution!

Need to generate RF signals?

 @SIGLENT SSG series of RF signal generators have a frequency range of 9 kHz up to 40GHz, offering great performance/value - with up to 0.001 Hz frequency setting resolution, maximum output power to +26 dBm (typ.), Phase Noise: -120 dBc/ Hz @ 1 GHz, 20 kHz offset (typ.), single pulse, double pulse and pulse train generation (option). They provide normal analog modulation such as AM, FM, and PM. They also provide pulse modulation and pulse train generator. In addition, when used with baseband generator such as SDG6000X, they can generate IQ modulated signals. With their high accuracy and pure outputs, the SSG generator series are the right choice for R&D, education, and manufacturing.

Why Cambrionix USB hubs?

They are not just "dumb" splitters, but intelligent, high-speed, managed industrial tools used by major corporations for mass device deployment, diagnostics, and data transfer. 

Here are some key, high-value use cases:

1. High-Volume Industries  - where managing dozens or thousands of devices is a pain point:

• IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) & Recycling: Cambrionix hubs are essential for securely erasing data, updating firmware, and prepping old devices for resale at scale.
• Mobile Device Management (MDM) / Education:  K-12 schools and IT managers need to sync, charge, and configure hundreds of iPads or Chromebooks simultaneously.
• Software QA & App Testing: Cambrionix hubs give the ability to connect 16+ devices to a single host for automated testing, reducing test times from hours to minutes.
• Retail & Device-as-a-Service (DaaS): helps manage large fleets of customer-facing tablets or mobile devices. 

2. "Intelligent" Features  

We’re not just selling "USB ports" – the added value is the software/control features:

• Cambrionix Connect Software: gives the ability to monitor, control, and update firmware on all hubs and connected devices locally or remotely.
• API & Command Line Interface (CLI):  for developers and DevOps teams to integrate the hubs into their own custom automated workflows.
• Individual Port Control:  turn individual ports on/off, set charging profiles, and monitor power usage. 

3. Technical Superiority

• Thunderbolt Speed: ThunderSync5-C16 PD, which uses Thunderbolt 5, delivers up to 7x faster data transfer than traditional hubs (5 Gbps per port).
• Safety & Reliability: Cambrionix hubs are designed for 24/7 operation, with intelligent charging that prevents overcharging and maintains battery health.
• Compatibility: they work with a huge range of USB devices, including Apple, Android, and IoT devices. 

For industries with high-volume, mobile device needs, Cambrionix products differentiate themselves from cheap, generic consumer hubs, and, considering the time-saving, intelligent management features, these world-class USB hubs pay for themselves rapidly.
