Micsig's amazing optoisolated oscilloscope probes!

 

SigOFIT Optical-fiber Isolated Probes: Saelig Online Store

With Micsigs exclusive SigOFIT optical isolation technology, the SigOFIT series probe can be powered by laser, delivers extremely high CMRR and isolation voltage, help engineers to see the whole truth of the signal within its bandwidth.

Present True Signal

SigOFIT series probe has highest common mode rejection ratio, or CMRR, up to 112dB at 100MHz, over 100dB at 500MHz. It is the ultimate referee of signal fidelity measured by other voltage probes.

Highest Accuracy

The SigOFIT probe has excellent amplitude-frequency characteristics, effective accuracy bandwidth [1] is as high as more than 50% of the nominal bandwidth. Within the effective accuracy bandwidth, the test accuracy of 1.5% can be guaranteed, and the DC gain accuracy is better than 1%. The maximum noise floor within the range is 1.41mVrms, and zero drift is less than 500u V after warm-up.

 Latest SERVO Newsletter is out! For years, robot combat in the United States was a niche sport reserved for relatively small groups of builders. In the course of less than two years, however, the BattleBots™ competition grew from another middle sized competition to a nationally broadcast show on Comedy Central. Television audiences had never seen anything like it; BattleBots was a complete novelty — and Americans could not get enough!

Shielded Assumptions ...

 When evaluating an #RF shielded test enclosure, one of the first questions engineers often ask is: “What attenuation does it provide?” It’s a logical question. Attenuation is measurable, easy to compare, and frequently used as a benchmark when evaluating shielding solutions. Manufacturers routinely publish attenuation figures to demonstrate performance, and buyers naturally use those numbers to compare products. However, attenuation alone does not determine the quality of a test environment. A more important question is often overlooked:

6GHz VGA from HArogic!

 The SGA-60 next-generation USB-powered Vector Signal Generator bridges the gap between laboratory-grade precision and the portability required for modern field operations, R&D, and T&M. It covers 9kHz to 6GHz for applications in modern wireless communication, aerospace, and education sectors. It can generate a diverse array of signals, from standard CW and AM/FM to advanced digitally modulated signals. The inclusion of high-speed frequency and amplitude sweeps, as well as chirp signal generation, makes it suitable for radar testing and component characterization. With a typical output amplitude range of -100dBm to +10dBm, the SGA-60 can simulate everything from the weak signals found at a receiver’s edge to the robust signals required for amplifier characterization. Its USB-powered architecture allows for seamless integration into existing software-defined environments, offering a streamlined workflow that reduces setup time and equipment overhead. https://www.saelig.com/product/sga-60.htm

Not impressive ...

 The best software test runs don't look impressive. They look uneventful. Whether lab engineers are running two devices or two hundred, success isn't visible. It's the absence of problems.

In SQA environments, every disconnection is a missed test cycle. Every crash is an investigation. Every timeout is a delay in shipping. The infrastructure underneath the test suite matters more than most teams realize – until it doesn't work.

Cambrionix USB solutions are built so that nothing gets in the way.

Ultimate 4.0 is out now!

 #ABI has announced that the new Ultimate 4.0 for its PCB diagnostic systems is out now! This major new software release brings faster performance, improved stability, and a more efficient experience across the SYSTEM 8 platform. 𝐀 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐟𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐓𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐅𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐜𝐚𝐩𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 You can now import full #TestFlow step data from any existing TestFlow into a new one, dramatically reducing development time. This makes it possible to create for instance a master TestFlow with custom instruments, programming, media menus, and other common process elements, then reuse them instantly in new workflows.

Ultimate 4.0 represents a major development investment by ABI, yet remains free of charge to existing users. That combination is rare in the test and measurement industry and reflects a long-term commitment to customer support.
