Equipment and Materials ♦ news digest Accuracy and Value
The PA1000 offers the best overall performance in its class, with 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 A, for precise low-current measurements, and another for current measurements up to 20 A. The 1 A shunt is particularly useful for maintaining measurements resolution and accuracy on demanding low-current signals common to standby power testing.
A full-colour graphics display, unusual in this instrument class, makes setup and other tasks easy and intuitive, 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, saving engineers time and reducing mistakes. PWRVIEW PC software further simplifies testing with one-click test automation for compliance-test applications.
The PA1000 offers standard features including LAN, USB and GPIB interfaces, harmonic analysis, and PC software that cost extra on many analysers. A five-year warranty and Tektronix worldwide support and service add to the value proposition.
PA4000 Accuracy Specifications, Warranty Upgrades
Based on recent field and metrology analysis, Tektronix has released improved accuracy specifications for the PA4000 power analyser and extended the standard warranty to five years from the previous three years. The new accuracy specifications apply to RMS voltage, RMS current and Power. For instance RMS voltage accuracy was rated at ± 0.04 percent and has now been improved to a rating of ± 0.01 percent.
Pricing & Availability
The PA1000 will be available worldwide starting in December 2013. Prices start at $2790 US MSRP.
Nanoimprint lithography tool for photonics and LEDs from EVG
The EVG720 UV-NIL system provides excellent throughput and low cost of ownership with integrated soft template replication capability
EVG720 UV nanoimprint lithography system
Capable of printing nanostructures as small as 40 nm in diameter over a large area in volume production, the EVG720 system is ideally suited for use in manufacturing optics, photonics, LEDs, microfluidics and other bioMEMS devices, as well as advanced data storage devices. Several systems have already been installed, evaluated and accepted at customer sites.
The EVG720 UV-NIL system - EVG’s most advanced dedicated NIL system - utilises a next-generation UV-NIL process designed specifically to address the needs of high-volume manufacturing. It combines high throughput, ease of use and high resolution - enabling volume manufacturing of nanoscale structures at the lowest CoO.
EVG’s UV-NIL solutions, including the EVG720 system, are designed to work with a wide variety of resist materials. This open materials platform approach provides customers with a high degree of flexibility and process customisation.
In addition, the EVG720 has an integrated stamp replication capability, which minimises tool footprint and avoids increased capital equipment costs associated with stand-alone replication systems. EVG’s soft working stamps have optimised releasing properties that extend the life of the stamp and enable ideal imprint results on both flat and rough substrates.
