COMMENT Welcome to the November
issue of Instrumentation Monthly.
The third Instrumentation Excellence Awards took place last month at the Grand Connaught Rooms. The event, taking place
under the glittering chandeliers of the venue, was a huge success. With entertainment, good food, fine wine and, of course, recognition for the movers and shakers in the instrumentation sector, the evening was the highlight for the year for the industry. Find out more about the winners of this year’s event in the special supplement in this issue.
Victoria White, Editor TEKTRONIX UNVEILS BREAKTHROUGH POWER INSTRUMENTATION
ektronix has announced a new lineup of breakthrough power devices set to accelerate innovation in industries demanding greater power capacity and efficiency. The new TICP Series IsoVu isolated current probes are the world’s first to utilize RF isolation, delivering exceptional precision and safety when measuring fast-changing current across both low- and high-voltage systems. The EA-PSB 20000 Triple series is a 3-channel, bidirectional power supply and electronic load with energy recovery that delivers higher test coverage, density, and capacity across multiple channels within a single device. The TICP IsoVu probes are available to order now and will begin shipping this month, November 2024. The EA-PSB 20000 Triple output power supply is available for pre-order today, with shipping begin- ning in January 2025.

TICP IsoVu probes are the industry’s first current shunt probes to use RF isolation, providing complete galvanic isolation between measurement systems and devices under test, delivering high-bandwidth,
low-noise current measurements in high-voltage applications compared to existing probes on the market or alternative shunt measurement tech- niques. Available in bandwidths up to 1 GHz, these probes enable engineers to capture accurate measurements of fast-changing currents on their oscilloscopes across a wide voltage range in nano- seconds – from microamps to kiloamps. “The wide measurement range covers previously inaccessible high-voltage environments, from fast- switching SiC and GaN power converters to low-power
applications like battery performance testing in mobile devices – all with a single probe,” said Daryl Ellis, Tektronix’s generalmanager of Entry and Mainstream Portfolio. “As the global demand for power innovation accelerates, we’re setting new benchmarks in preci- sion, safety, and scalability, empowering customers to push the limits of what is possible in industries ranging from automotive to renewable energy.”

HENSOLDT FURTHER EXPANDS PRODUCTION CAPACITIES AT ITS ULM SITE “In view
he sensor solutions provider HENSOLDT is further expanding its production capacities at the Ulm site. A second printed circuit board assembly line has already been put into operation in the electronics production. A third assembly line is to follow in 2025. The total invest- ment volume amounts to eight million euros. Printed circuit boards are indispensable for HENSOLDT products. In view of the security of supply in the procurement of electronic compo- nents and the high demand for products that can be delivered quickly, it is proving to be an advan- tage for the company to have full control over core technologies such as the assembly of printed circuit boards. In particular, the ongoing conversion to series production in radar production is increasing the demand for components enormously.
T of the
increasing demand, the urgency of delivering products and solutions
quickly and on a large scale is clearly noticeable,” says Gregor Schwab, HENSOLDT head of Production. “By expanding our production capacities, we have already more than doubled the number of printed circuit boards manufactured from 36,000 to 80,000 per year over the past two years.”
