The company says the PA1000 offers 0.05 percent basic accuracy and 1 MHz measurement bandwidth. Two internal current shunts are included on each PA1000 - one for current measurements up to 1 Amp, for precise low-current measurements, and another for current measurements up to 20 Amps. The 1 Amp shunt is designed to be useful for maintaining measurements resolution and accuracy on demanding low-current signals common to standby power testing.
Additional features include: A full-colour graphics display, which Tektronix says makes setup and other tasks easy with one-button access to measurement results, power waveforms, harmonic bar graphs, and menus.
Application-specific test modes for standby current, lamp ballast testing and energy integration help to simplify optimisation of instrument settings, potentially saving engineers time and reducing mistakes.
PWRVIEW PC software further simplifies testing with one-click test automation for compliance-test applications.

The Towa Corporation of Japan has established its activities in Europe with an Innovation Centre for Packaging Development.
Towa is a supplier of packaging equipment for the semiconductor, electronics and LED industries.
Europe has become an area where special IC´s and electronic applications are being developed and produced, such as sensors, MEMS, vision applications, specific IC’s, in particular for semiconductor, automotive and medical applications.
In 2004 Towa Europe GmbH was established, to serve European customers. The activities originally consisted of the supply of the Towa encapsulation equipment, after sales service and spare parts.
However, in addition to this, the cooperation with the package/product development centres of European customers and European institutes became an important activity and Towa Europe started to play a leading role in the development of new products.
To further expand this, it was decided to establish a Packaging Development Centre in the Netherlands, for which Towa Europe has been founded. This centre is located at Geograaf 14, Duiven, The Netherlands.
