Colour changing meter
17 December, 2003Like all iSeries meters, the Big Display can be programmed to change colours between red, amber and green at any setpoint or alarm point.
Integrated power module
28 October, 2003International Rectifier has introduced the IRAMX16UP60A, the latest member of the PlugNDrive family of integrated power modules that simplify variable-speed electronic motor control circuits. The 16 A rated device is designed for 750 W to 1.2 kW variable speed motor drives.
Testing HDTV products
05 June, 2003Tektronix has announced what it claims is the world's first fully-automated component analog video signal analyser that measures high-definition, progressive scan and PC format signals for consumer video equipment manufacturers, video network operators, and others that require fast and repeatable testing.
Fault detector for small circuits
22 May, 2003Scientists at Brown University have created a magnetic-sensing microscope that allows them to watch electricity flow through the tiniest components. They are using the device to find defects in integrated circuits and micro-machinery.
Toroidal electron spectrometer exported to Germany
12 May, 2003La Trobe University physicists have reversed the traditional direction of technology flow by designing and building a toroidal electron spectrometer and exporting it to Germany.
Logic testing
15 April, 2003Huntron Instruments has released the Tracker 2700 which now extends the capabilities of power-off testing to troubleshoot low voltage logic circuitry.
Panel meter
18 March, 2003The Ditel Gamma-M is designed to accept signals from load cells, pressure transmitters, potentiometers etc, to measure weight, load, torque, pressure or displacement. With an external shunt, the Gamma-M can also read DC current.
Australian calibration centre
11 February, 2003NewTek Support Pty Ltd has an approved calibration centre which services and calibrates the range of National Instrument hardware products in Australia.
Calibrators
12 November, 2002Time Electronics has released a current/voltage loop calibrator, available in two standards: the 1047 with an accuracy of 0.05% FS and the 1048 with an accuracy of 0.02% FS.
Automated Test Tags
08 October, 2002The Seaward ProTag Testing and Tagging System is claimed to be Australia's first portable appliance testing system to print test tags on-site.
Calibration Management
14 August, 2002Davidson Measurement and IntelEng announced they are combining to provide a solution to calibration management. They will be known as Davidson eCalibration Services.
Electronic Taster
26 June, 2002Scientist at Cardiff University in Wales are developing an alarm system that will provide warning of potentially harmful contamination in water supplies.
Tooth decay detector
25 April, 2002Tooth decay could soon be detected without resorting to potentially harmful x-rays by using a novel electrical technique developed by dental researchers at the University of Dundee in an unusual partnership with textile experts at another Scottish university, Heriot Watt.
Tracing intermittent electrical faults
05 March, 2002There's probably not a service engineer on the planet that wouldn't agree that intermittent electrical faults are the most difficult to trace. Although these may seem like random disasters, invariably they have a sound physical cause
Current Monitoring
14 August, 2001Weidmuller has released a range of Wavecontrol current monitoring modules with optional screw or tension clamp connections.
