Texas Instruments (TI) (NASDAQ: TXN), the most trusted brand in graphing calculator technology, has received a 2015 Access Award from the American Federation for the Blind (AFB) for developing the Orion TI-84 Plus Talking Graphing Calculator that enables students with visual impairments to learn math and science without relying on sight. Presented annually, the Access Awards honor individuals, corporations and organizations that eliminate or substantially reduce inequities faced by individuals with vision loss. TI accepted the award along with partners at Orbit Research and the American Printing House for the Blind (APH).

Tektronix, an industry-leading innovator of video quality monitoring solutions, announced that My Eye Media has selected Tektronix WVR8200 waveform rasterizers to provide in-depth quality analysis of 4K content as well as many other formats. Based in Burbank, Calif., My Eye Media is an industry leader in quality assurance and quality control for major motion picture studios, TV broadcasters and independent content producers.

Anritsu Company introduces Web Remote Tools for its Spectrum Master™ MS2720T handheld spectrum analyzer that allows the instruments to be controlled from any web-enabled device, including laptops, tablets, and smart phones, over an Ethernet link. Web Remote Tools gives field technicians greater flexibility when conducting measurements and makes it more time- and cost-efficient to conduct RF spectrum monitoring, as well as test Remote Radio Heads (RRUs) and other inaccessible radio units at 3G and 4G base stations.

Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS) introduced four performance options for its small, flexible and market-leading-fast Advanced Power System (APS) N6900 Series DC power supplies. In conjunction with the power supply's VersaPower architecture, the new options boost test-system versatility and make it easy for test engineers to tune power supply capability. The N6900 options enable engineers to meet their ATE testing needs without paying for more capability than they require.

Rohde & Schwarz is now offering its first test solutions for developing and manufacturing DOCSIS 3.1 based consumer electronics equipment and components. These test setups include an R&S CLGD cable load generator and an R&S FSW signal and spectrum analyzer equipped with a new downstream signal analysis option.

Anritsu and EMITE are proud to announce that the Anritsu MT8820C Radio Communication Tester has been successfully used in combination with the EMITE E500 Reverberation Chamber and the Anite Propsim FS8 channel emulator to test LTE Carrier Aggregation, using 2x2 MIMO and more realistic isotropic Urban-Macro (UMA) fading profiles. The tests were performed for a leading US carrier.

Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS) introduced the industry's most comprehensive 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Ethernet protocol decoders. The Keysight N8825A (for 90000A, 90000 X-, 90000 Q-, Z- and V-Series oscilloscopes) and N8825B (for S-Series oscilloscopes) 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Ethernet protocol decoders help network design engineers accelerate turn-on and debug of 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Ethernet networking systems by decoding 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX Ethernet packets on compatible oscilloscopes with a minimum of 500-MHz bandwidth.

Tektronix, Inc., a leading worldwide provider of test, measurement and monitoring instrumentation, has introduced the entry level AFG1022 Arbitrary/Function Generator featuring best-in-class performance and functionality to support a wide range of use cases and course subjects. The AFG1022 integrates seamlessly with the new TekSmartLabTM wireless lab instrument management solution.

ETV, Serbia's national broadcasting agency, is using Rohde & Schwarz transmitters for the third and final phase of its transition to DVB-T2. Rohde & Schwarz supplies high-power and medium-power transmitters as well as gap fillers. Analog TV broadcasts are scheduled to be entirely discontinued in 2015.

NI (Nasdaq: NATI), the provider of platform-based systems that enable engineers and scientists to solve the world’s greatest engineering challenges, announced the new CompactDAQ 8-slot controller, which expands the CompactDAQ controller offering to meet high-channel count applications in rugged environments. By integrating the processor, signal conditioning and I/O into a single CompactDAQ system, engineers can reduce overall system cost and complexity while increasing measurement accuracy. Integrated measurement systems reduce the number of components, connections and wiring needed, which often introduce noise and additional costs, to ensure high-accuracy measurements and cost-optimized systems.
