Yokogawa has added two new instruments to its ScopeCorder family of portable multi-channel data-acquisition recorders. The new DL850E and DL850EV (Vehicle Edition) ScopeCorders incorporate a number of new features to allow engineers to measure and analyse signals in real time and to speed up development and fault finding in areas such as power electronics, mechatronics and transportation.

Aeroflex Limited has launched the TM500 Test Mobile family which now provides full-stack WCDMA handset simulation capability that is scalable from testing and verifying the performance of small cells right up to multi-handset, multi-cell network capacity performance testing.

Elite sports stars, teams and organisers have become some of the most intensive users of imaging technologies. From golf swing analysis to goal line technology; Nicholas Waple from Sony Europe’s Image Sensing Solutions division examines how vision camera technology has helped make athletes more competitive and sports fairer including a look at one of the latest developments that helped streamline Michael Phelps at the 2012 Olympics.

Riedon, a specialist manufacturer of resistive solutions, is looking to target the demanding requirements of current sensing and shunt applications with its comprehensive portfolio of low ohmic value resistors, ranging from the economical bare metal element MSR series through to its CLSA series chip resistors that provide AEC-Q200 compliance for use in harsh automotive environments.

Anritsu has introduced the Fiber Visualizer, a new addition to its MT9090A Network Master platform, creating a field test solution that simplifies the process of carrying out highly accurate measurements fibre cables, connections, and splices when installing or maintaining high-speed, FTTH, CATV, Access, Mobile Backhaul, FTTA, DAS and Metro networks.

AVX Corporation has expanded its Mini-TurboCap and RoHS Compliant Mini-TurboCap Series with a new 25V rating and an extended capacitance range (up to 39µF) for its 50V parts. Now available in 25V, 50V, and 100V, this base metal electrode (BME) capacitor series exhibit high volumetric efficiency (CV) in addition to ultra low ESR and ESL in a compact footprint.

Microchip has unveiled the MGC3130 Hillstar Development Kit for 3D gesturing systems. The kit provides designers with an easy step-by-step approach to develop 3D gesturing systems with Microchip’s MGC3130 and electrodes that meet their specific space requirements.

AVX Corporation, a manufacturer of advanced passive components and interconnect solutions, has published a new technical paper, “Dielectric Absorption of Multilayer Organic (MLO) Capacitors,” which claims that its MLO capacitors have been shown to exhibit the lowest dielectric absorption (DA) of any comparable technology, making them ideal for use in sample and hold (S/H) circuits.

Atollic has launched the TrueSTUDIO Premium edition. Built on the well-established TrueSTUDIO Pro, a powerful IDE for embedded C/C++ development, the Premium edition extends the tool’s capabilities even further to include code testing and test quality measurement features as standard.

Tektronix has expanded its family of waveform monitors with the addition of the portable WFM2300 Series designed for install and maintenance applications. The WFM2300 provides an array of measurement and monitoring features that allow engineers to isolate, diagnose, and resolve system issues.
