National Instruments announced new PXI and PCI interfaces that expand the NI-XNET platform to include support for the Local Interconnect Network (LIN) communication bus. New interfaces are ideal hardware-in-the-loop simulation, rapid control prototyping, bus monitoring and automation control.

The Rohde & Schwarz R&S®TSMW radio network analyzer and R&S®ROMES drive test software are the ideal solution for drive tests on LTE networks including reliable performance measurements with the Samsung LTE USB modem.

Anritsu Company introduces the MG3690C series of RF/Microwave signal generators that combines best-in-class phase noise and broad frequency generation to allow engineers to conduct highly accurate tests on subsystems, especially those in local oscillator substitution and clock generation applications. The overall performance of the MG3690C signal generators makes them well suited to test microwave components, subsystems, and systems during design and manufacturing, as well as for signal simulation to test and verify radar and communications systems.

The seminar will take place on Friday, June 25, 2010. This one hour web-seminar will cover Precision Power Measurements and Power Factor Measurements.

New interfaces for PROFIBUS, FOUNDATION Fieldbus and DeviceNet allow engineers to add high-speed measurements, custom control and Web connectivity to existing PLC and DCS-based systems

Yokogawa Meters & Instruments Corporation announces release of two new ScopeCorders. The standard DL850 ScopeCorder model succeeds the DL750 ScopeCorder released in 2002 and features a number of significant enhancements. The DL850V Vehicle Edition is a special model that includes added functions for use in automotive research and development.

Tektronix is pleased to announce a new probe for the TPS2000 Series of oscilloscopes. The new P5122 probe is suitable for floating measurements when used with the TPS2000 Series.

The compact, economical R&S® FSC spectrum analyzer recently introduced by Rohde & Schwarz delivers all of the key characteristics of a professional spectrum analyzer. With a frequency range starting at 9 kHz and extending to a maximum of 6 GHz, the analyzer is ideal for applications that require a high-quality basic instrument: Simple development tasks, research and instruction, service and production. The compact design and low power consumption of the analyzer also make it destined for use in small test systems and in vehicles.
