Falco Systems have expanded their range of battery powered high voltage amplifiers with two new products: the WMA-02 and the WMA-005. Like the original WMA-01 introduced last January, these two high voltage amplifiers run from a low voltage DC power supply or battery and provide a bipolar high voltage at their output. The WMA-02 delivers -175V to +175V, while the WMA-005 covers the low voltage end of the range, with -75V to +75V output voltage. With these three products, Falco Systems now provides a full range of battery powered high voltage amplifiers.

Camarillo, CA – Binder-USA is pleased to announce the development of stainless steel M12 threaded sockets.  The addition of these parts to Binder’s 763 series provides customers with a complete range of stainless steel connectors, ideal for use in food processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing and other applications requiring a robust sealed & EMI protected connection.

Amplicon has enhanced the versatility of its Impact range of industrial computers with the new Impact-R 3010 series. Comprising 3U 19-inch rackmount industrial computers the series is designed to provide an economical or space advantage where 2U designs provide insufficient expansion requirements and 4U designs require more than the available rack space.

Amplicon’s latest additions to its flagship range of rackmount industrial computers based on PICMG-compliant single board computers (SBCs) and backplanes are Windows Vista capable.

These new analogue and vector signal generators are ideal for manufacturing teams producing components and receivers for communications systems...

A special feature of the tracking generator is user-selectable frequency offset in the range from zero to 3GHz, which makes it possible to perform measurements on frequency-converting devices such as frequency mixers.

Auto-compressed data acquisition sets the sampling parameters to match the basic variability in data thus adjusting acquisition without the need for operator intervention. In addition the operator can set data sampling intervals between 1 and 60 minutes...

Waveforms can be output in continuous, triggered, gate or in burst mode with internal or external reference. Modulation modes include AM, FM and FSK. The editing functions include increment, line draw and defined waveform...

The oscilloscopes are provided with a 14.5cm colour LCD and a Go-No Go wave shape judgement function, and have a standard RS232 interface and optional GPIB port as factory-fitted option. For all models a USB port is available as a standard or factory-fitted option...

Individual cells and mult-cell batteries to 60 volts can be tested for voltage and internal ac impedance using the instrument's four-terminal method as well as cell temperature utilising resistance thermometry in the range of 10°C to 60°C.
