The Mantracourt T24-GW1 is ideal for process control, industrial processing, chemical manufacturing, pharmaceuticals and automotive applications.
Bruker Announces Photoconductive Atomic Force Microscopy Module
Bruker introduced the Photoconductive Module for the Dimension Icon Atomic Force Microscope (AFM). The Photoconductive Atomic Force Microscopy (pcAFM) enables sample illumination while performing nanoscale electrical characterization. Bruker’s pcAFM accessory transforms the Dimension Icon AFM into a solution for dedicated nanoscale organic photoelectric material research.
Lantronix Introduces xSenso Analog Device Server
Lantronix launched their xSenso analog device server (ADS). xSenso enables sensors with analog outputs to send real-time data to any node on the network or over the Internet. The device remotely monitors and logs data from a variety of sensors — including temperature, humidity, pressure, level, flow, weight, and gas/air quality transmitters. xSenso can be IN-rail or wall mounted. It is available now for $235.
White Paper: How to test high-speed memory with non-intrusive embedded instruments
ASSET InterTech published a new white paper about non-intrusive embedded instruments. The technical paper explains how non-intrusive software-driven embedded instruments can overcome many of the challenges of testing, validating and debugging high-speed memory buses such the DDR 3 or DDR4 (DDR3/4) buses, and others. The title of their article is “How to test high-speed memory with non-intrusive embedded instruments.”
