Probes add functions to scope ranges
Gould Nicolet Technologies has a new range of Intelliprobes for its Ultima and Accura families of digital and transient storage oscilloscopes.
Featuring instrument quality, 18-bit analogue to digital converters per channel, Phazer offers a typical dynamic range of 110dB on all channels.
Aliasing, a concern in digital systems, is prevented through use of a combination of analogue and steep (160dB per octave) digital filters.
Phazer's 3600 spectral lines of resolution combined with the optional zoom capability enable precision to 0.002 Hz across the entire 21 kHz measurement range.
Phazer is fully compliant with USB 1.0 and 1.1 specifications and receives its power from the USB port - no external power supply is required.
Combined with a battery operated notebook or palmtop PC, the handheld Phazer provides the ultimate in portability.
All signal processing is performed by the DSP embedded within the Phazer, relieving the PC from the burden of real-time processing.
Additionally, true multitasking allows the PC to deliver maximum graphics performance even while Windows is performing other tasks.
Phazer features the Gould Nicolet Prism Spectral Library - powerful enough to tackle any dynamics application.
Prism supports 2-D and 3-D data presentations including FFT, PSD, transfer functions, histograms, octave analysis, waterfall plots and spectrograms.
Prism's one-click reporting tool creates custom reports directly into Microsoft Word.
Separate optional modules support modal analysis, rotating machinery analysis and acoustic analysis as well as long duration direct to disc recording.
These individual software modules enable the Phazer to be focussed on the application providing the operator with clear operation. Request a free brochure from LDS Test and Measurement ...
