The new Metrix line of digital oscilloscopes comprises 40MHz instruments for industrial maintenance and 100MHz units for electronics applications.
The new Metrix line of digital oscilloscopes comprises 40MHz instruments for industrial maintenance and 100MHz units for electronics applications.
It also includes the first 600V Cat III insulated self-contained portable oscilloscope on the market.
These oscilloscopes, a perfect illustration of what might be called "pluri-instruments", combine five complementary devices in one and provide original functions, outstanding readability, and great performance, thanks in particular to their 12bit 1Gsample/s convertor, all in a minimum footprint.
With 33 direct control keys and "Windows-like" menus on screen, OX 7000 units can also be controlled from their touchpads.
Online help in five languages is available at all times.
The instruments combine the functions of oscilloscopes, multimeters, "real-time" FFT analysers with calculation functions on the channels (standard), harmonic analysers and recorders (optional) all in a portable unit.
In addition to their advanced triggering functions (pulse duration, counting, delay, TV), these oscilloscopes have maths functions that let users define a mathematical function for each trace, scale vertically, and specify the true physical unit.
A must for diagnostics, the 8000-point, 50kHz, multichannel true-RMS digital multimeter measures amplitudes, resistance, continuity, capacitance, frequency and temperatures and runs tests on components.
In the harmonic analyser function (optional), the instrument can display the first 32 orders of signals having fundamental frequencies between 40 and 450Hz.
The digital recorder (optional) allows acquisition rates of 500us between two measurements, for records that can extend over 1 month, starting from the surveillance of tolerance thresholds, in particular.
With the FFT function, qualitative analyses of harmonics, of signal distortion, and of impulse responses, and searches for noise sources in logical circuits, lead to effective diagnostics.
The autoset feature makes it easier to obtain an optimal spectral representation on which a graphic zoom can be applied and precise measurements made with the help of the cursors.
The patented Probix system of plug-and-play accessories aids fast and, more particularly, error-free setup of the instrument.
The coefficients, scales, and units of the sensors and the configurations of the channels are managed automatically, and the probes and adapters are recognised as soon as they are connected.
An onboard Ethernet interface with web server makes it possible to control the instrument from a distance, and to transfer curves or screen shots, without additional software, using only its Ethernet address.
Problems with printing, or in communicating with PCs, are history.
