MOIP Is Isolation!

 Micsig SigOFIT MIOP Optical-Fiber Isolated Probes (MOIP series) are high-performance oscilloscope input devices designed specifically for high-voltage, high-bandwidth testing environments. By utilizing true optical isolation technology—where electrical signals are converted to optical signals and transmitted across a fiber-optic cable—they completely eliminate galvanic connections to earth ground, making them an ideal "referee" tool for measuring floating or ultra-fast switching signals.

• True Optical Isolation & High Common-Mode Voltage
• High Common-Mode Rejection Ratio (CMRR)
• Wide Bandwidth Options up to 1.2 GHz
• Flexible Measurement Range
• Low Input Capacitance & Low Noise
• High Precision
• Easy Use & Wide Compatibility

Game Changer!

 Josh Beasley says "I’ve been in this industry for a long time now, and I don’t say “game changer” lightly. Cambrionix technology earns it. With automated DFU, intelligent port and power management, and automation that takes the technician’s hands off the device, diagnostics and erasure run at a pace most workflows can’t touch. I’ve seen it take UPH per operator from 8 to 30 on a MacBook diagnostic and erasure line. That’s a true margin mover."

These mini burst field generators are particularly small!

 The P1 Mini Burst Generator Kit - a set of three handheld mini burst generators, used to inject B fields and E fields into electronic circuits via burst and ESD pulses. These EMC tools can be used to quickly and easily check and optimize assemblies with regard to their interference immunity. Included in the set are P11, P12, and P21 handheld injectors.

The mini burst field generators are particularly small. They are used to identify and eliminate weak points in electronic assemblies in the development phase. They generate a burst or an ESD field at their tip. The mini burst generators are guided by hand across the equipment under test (e.g. printed circuit board) with their field-emitting tips close to its surface. The weak points respond to the pulsed field and malfunctions will occur. The burst field generators can be applied to selected individual sections of the circuit board design to identify potential weak points (faults in the ground system, individual traces or IC pins). Separate magnetic (P11 and P12) and electric (P21) coupling allows an optimal adaptation of EMC countermeasures to the respective weak point.

Faster munitions manufacturing ...

 The Pentagon wants US defense contractors to plan for dramatically faster production of critically depleted munitions, including Patriot and THAAD interceptors. As Deputy Defense Secretary Steve Feinberg stated, “years-long development cycles are not acceptable.” Each of the interceptors mentioned is an RF system, and so is the radio communication, the navigation platform, and the missile seeker inside it; and in development, production, and integration, RF faults can be where an aggressive schedule gets disrupted. A marginal hardware defect or a technician error on the bench can cost days before anyone even knows it. https://www.saelig.com/news/articles/cutting-rf-faults-r.pdf
