TEST & MEASUREMENT ADVERTORIAL
Ultra-Low Noise Lock-In Amplifier with Intuitive User-Interface
Customised Force Measurement Solutions
BM – a market leader in the field of test and measurement – has consolidated its leading position in force measurement technology by combining the series production of strain gauge sensors with its customised line, to match specific applications. Designed to meet unique requirements, this new development means that all components are available in one place, which enables high quality customised sensors to be developed with no restrictions of quantity. Featuring swift manufacturing, adaption’s during the development of strain gauges and calibration measurements are made directly in house, negating the need to involve third parties, which means that development cycles are therefore significantly reduced. As this approach also applies to piezoelectric sensors from the PACEline series, HBM is able to offer custom designed sensors produced in series – both strain gauge based or piezoelectric.

he MFLI 500 kHz/ 5 MHz lock-in amplifier is used for precise phase and amplitude measurement and comes with an integrated data and web-server. The hardware sets a new ultra-low noise standard for lock-in amplifiers, with an input noise of 2.5 nV/√Hz. Even the weakest signals can be captured very quickly.
T It's not only the hardware
specifications that are outstanding. The included LabOne software is platform independent (browser based) which visualizes the settings and signal processing path. This intuitive interface makes it easy to use the instrument and helps to optimize instrument settings. The LabOne software also provides a unique tool-set for signal analysis: in addition to the lock-in amplifier there is a sweeper/frequency analyzer, signal generator, oscilloscope and FFT spectrum analyzer. The Zurich Instruments MFLI lock-in amplifier is a flexible measurement instrument, designed for a broad range of applications from photonics, low temperature physics, impedance measurements, ultrasonic measurements and MEMS characterization through to quantum- and nano-electronics.

PicoScope 5000 Series Resolution Oscilloscopes
T
he PicoScope 5000 Series Flexible Resolution Oscilloscopes has a range of resolutions from 8 bits to 16 bits in hardware. With just one PicoScope you can choose between 1 GS/s sampling at low resolution, ideal for troubleshooting digital logic, and 62 MS/s sampling at high resolution with over 70 dB SFDR for viewing low-noise, low- amplitude analog signals. There are other resolution options in between. The oscilloscope's novel sampling architecture gives better dynamic performance than the software-enhanced resolution available on many scopes. This YouTube video explains some of the benefits of flexible resolution. Lambda is a leading supplier of characterisation, measurement and analysis equipment, applied to signals from DC to Light. Our company provides hardware, software and integrated solutions throughout the UK & Ireland.

S Hydro have the largest flow meter rental fleet in Europe. Our range of clamp on flow meters can measure- most liquids to provide velocity, energy, mass and volumetric data. Our ultrasonic flow meters are non-invasive and can be installed within minutes. The PT878 ultrasonic flowmeter has become the industry benchmark for flow meter hire applications. It utilises an acoustic signal-coding method to measure almost any liquid even if it contains gas bubbles or entrained solids and can be used on pipe sizes from 13mm to 5000mm with an accuracy of ±1-2% of rate. It is ideal for energy measurement with energy kits available to hire.
*Offer applies to new customers when hiring a PT878 for at least 4 weeks continuously.
