Products Editor’s choice New logic analysers offer fast timing capture and deep memory
During the UK part of its latest press tour, Agilent Technologies launched a new range of logic analysers; introduced a new vector signal analyser; announced significant enhancements to its midrange signal analyser; and launched two fami- lies of power supplies. Full details on each of these can be found on
www.connectingindustry.com. Here we will concentrate on the 16850 series of portable logic analysers, which are said to feature the fastest timing capture with deep memory, enabling the designer to look back in time to observe the location of the root cause of failure. The high sample resolution of these instruments makes it possible to differenti- ate timing problems from functional problems, providing the insight needed to shorten the debug and validation process.
The analyser also has both single-ended and differential probing options to help designers get their high-speed digital devices to market faster. Additional features include 2.5 GHz, 400 ps
Infrared pyrometer
with mini sensing head Now available from Calex Electronics is the PyroMini, an infrared pyrometer with an 18 x 45mm sensing head. Manufactured from stainless steel 316 and sealed to IP65, the PyroMini sensing head is suitable for a wide range of applications, including those in the food and pharmaceutical industry. A high ambient version is also available which can withstand temperatures of up to 180˚C without water- or air-cooling. A wide selection of optics allows the device to focus on small or large targets
period timing capture across all input channels, up to 128-megasample memory depth, fast timing capture, and a standard state data rate of 700 Mb per second, as well as an upgrade option to 1400 Mb per second. Users can choose the desired memory depth, starting with the standard, 2-megasample depth, along with a variety of choices up to the maximum 128-megasample depth. Both state speed and memory depth options can be upgraded after the initial purchase.
The analysers also offer a 1.4 GHz trigger sequencer to track high-speed circuits and define very specific conditions to trigger on in an effort to trap errors and drive quickly to the root cause of failure. These also provide measurement
solutions for a wide range of bus and signal types, and the FPGA Dynamic Probe application, built into the logic analyser interface, provides an automated approach for capturing internal Xilinx and Altera FPGA signals with deep memory state capture. Agilent

Lightweight single gas monitor launched New from Gas Measurement Instruments (GMI), an IST company, is the lightweight PS1 Series single gas monitor. Said to be easy to use, the instrument offers sensor options for monitoring hydrogen sulphide, oxygen, carbon monoxide or sulphur dioxide.
This maintenance- free self-monitoring device features on/off capability and field adjustable alarm settings. During
hazardous conditions users are alerted via three alarm functions: vibration, red flashing LEDs and an audible buzzer.
Also available is the new PS1 auto bump and calibration station – simply place the PS1 into the cradle and close the door. Calibration will be completed in 90 sec- onds, and bump testing in just 60 seconds.

at short or long distances. In addition, the low-noise interconnecting cable is resistant to interference from movement. There is also a backlit touchscreen interface which displays measured temperature in digital format and a graph view that shows the history of the mea- sured temperature. This also enables full configuration of the sensor. When fitted with a MicroSD card, the instrument also functions as a data logger.
Output options include four to 20mA, RS485 Modbus and alarm relays, which are rated 24V DC so there is no need for a separate trip amplifier. Calex Electronics T: 01252 373178

High performance megapixel cameras Now available from Stemmer Imaging are the Spark SP-20000M-PMCL and Spark SP-20000C-PMCL high performance monochrome and colour 20 megapixel cameras from JAI. Designed to operate at 30fps, these incorporate the CMOSIS CMV20000 imager and offer full frame resolu- tion of 5120 x 3840 pixels with a dual CameraLink interface capable of supporting multiple data rates in either Medium or Full configurations. Power can be supplied through the CameraLink connectors using a dual-channel-powered frame grabber, or can be provided via the separate 12-pin connector.

Additional features include high image quality with pixel uniformity; a 1:50000 light rejection ratio; and in-camera correction routines for reductions in pattern noise. There is also automatic level control (ALC) linking shutter and gain for best exposures under changing light conditions, and a built-in dual- slope high dynamic range mode for high contrast imaging situa- tions. These are suitable for an extended operating range of -45˚C to +70˚C. Stemmer Imaging T: 01252 780000
