Electronic loads offer high current capability
The Dynaload RBL Series of single-channel electronic loads offer an exceptionally high current rating of 1000A, and are ideal for the testing of large batteries and other DC power equipment.
Compact bench power supply provides 175W
The EX355, new from TTi (Thurlby Thandar Instruments), is a single-output laboratory DC power supply providing an output from 0 to 35V at 0 to 5A.
The 96 kHz sampling rates for digital audio are used in high-bandwidth applications, where frequency response greater than twice the normal 20 kHz upper limit of human hearing is required.
The three new models include the 'flagship' SYS-2522A: the Dual Domain Cascade version featuring 96 kHz digital audio, dual-channel analogue output/input plus a dual channel DSP analyser.
It also has a dual-channel DAC signal source plus digital input and output.
It uses the Audio Precision advanced Cascade DSP platform.
A companion model, SYS-2422A, has the new platform improvements but is without digital I/0.
A digital only model, SYS-2500A, is also available.
Cascade Dual Domain and Digital I/0 versions incorporate digital inputs and outputs with continuous capability from 8 to 200 kHz sample rates to encompass digital rates from telecommunication applications through to the new 96 kHz sampling rates for consumer and professional audio equipment.
Reflecting its name, the Cascade family represents a series of progressive steps, each providing the user with more testing options and higher performance and speed.
Cascade versions supplement but do not replace standard System Two models, and existing System Two units may be converted to Cascade versions.
Three major internal analogue options may be fitted to Cascade units.
The BUR option adds analogue domain generation of burst sine waves with controllable burst duration, interval and lower amplitude between bursts, plus analogue square waves to 20 kHz, analogue random and pseudo-random white and pink noise, and bandpass-filtered pink noise.
The IMD option analyses analogue domain devices for intermodulation distortion to the SMPTE/DIN, CCIF (twin tone or difference tone) and DIM/TIM (dynamic/transient intermodulation distortion) standards.
To measure analogue wow and flutter to the IEC/DIN, NAB, JIS and scrape flutter standards, weighted or unweighted, the W and F option is available.
