Agilent Technologies Inc. introduced the first set of digital-video measurement applications for its X-Series signal analyzers. The Digital Video Broadcasting-Terrestrial/Handheld (DVB-T/H) and Digital Terrestrial Multimedia Broadcasting (DTMB) measurement applications provide one-button, standard-based power and modulation analysis capabilities to help broadcasting and digital video customers design, evaluate and manufacture DVB-T/H and DTMB modulators, transmitters, amplifiers, tuners and gap fillers/repeaters.

Agilent Technologies Inc. released a display tester designed for easy, customizable setup for visual testing of up to five major display formats. It is suitable for testing FPD and CRT displays as well as LCD panels in PC and TV manufacturing.

Agilent Technologies Inc. announced enhancements to its X-Series signal analyzers, which deliver even faster speed and unmatched scalability. The Agilent X-Series has the industry's widest range of application-specific measurement solutions, now including EDGE Evolution and LTE MIMO.

Keithley Instruments, Inc., a leader in solutions for emerging measurement needs, has expanded its powerful SignalMeister™ software platform to now include RF signal analysis along with RF signal generation. First introduced in 2007, SignalMeister software is now the only software package on the market that integrates signal generation and analysis into one package for unmatched speed and simplicity. Furthermore, SignalMeister now has the capability of generating and analyzing both single-input single-output (SISO) and multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) signals in the same environment.

Tektronix, Inc., a leading worldwide provider of test, measurement and monitoring instrumentation, announced SignalVu™ vector signal analysis software for DPO7000 and DPO/DSA70000 digital oscilloscope series, enabling engineers to easily characterize and validate wideband and microwave spectral events.

Agilent Technologies Inc. announced the release of five new, higher-power members of the Agilent U2000 Series of USB-based power sensors. With the addition of these devices, the U2000 Series now covers a power range of -60 dBm to +44 dBm and a frequency range of 9 kHz to 24 GHz. Because these affordable sensors operate without power meters or external power adapters, they save bench space and simplify field work.

The new Fluke 225 ScopeMeter test tool gives you all the functionality of the 190C ScopeMeter Series, plus more! With built in bus health test the new ScopeMeter 225 is the only tool that can validate signal integrity on multiple types of industrial networks. Whatever type of industrial network you have, the new ScopeMeter 225 is more than a match for the job!

National Instruments announced a high-performance 8-slot chassis that delivers deterministic expansion I/O to the NI LabVIEW graphical development platform. The new chassis provides high-speed, jitter-free communication for applications such as distributed control, machine building and hardware in the loop.

Tektronix, Inc., a leading, worldwide provider of test, measurement and monitoring instrumentation, announced the new AWG7000B and AWG5000B Series of Arbitrary Waveform Generators (AWG). The AWG B series provides a 20% performance boost over many of the prior AWG instruments and continues to be the world’s fastest and most capable family of AWG’s, designed to meet the test needs for high-speed serial data buses and wideband RF applications. With 9.6 GHz effective RF output, 10 bit resolution, and sample rates up to 24 GS/s, the AWG7000B is the only AWG that can produce high-speed serial waveforms with real life imperfections including noise, jitter, pre/de -emphasis and multi-level signaling up to 8 Gb/s.

Pendulum Instruments, a company of the Orolia Group, announces the introduction of CNT-91R, an all-inclusive high performance calibrator of frequency sources, that combines high resolution measurements and advanced analysis, and a built-in ultra-stable Rubidium atomic reference clock. Its compact format, and its short warm-up time make the CNT-91R an ideal transportable frequency calibrator/analyzer.
