NI, the provider of a software-defined platform that helps accelerate the development and performance of automated test and automated measurement systems, announced FlexLogger configuration-based data-logging software for validation test. With intuitive workflows and integrated data management, FlexLogger helps automotive test departments quickly capture accurate, well-documented data to verify system functionality in real-world conditions and comply with strict government regulations.

Texas Instruments introduced a 5.5-V step-down power module that delivers true, continuous 6-A output current with up to 95 percent efficiency. The easy-to-use TPSM82480 DC/DC module integrates power metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) and shielded inductors into a tiny, low-profile footprint for space- and height-constrained applications such as point-of-load telecommunications, networking, and test and measurement power supplies.

Tektronix, Inc., a leading worldwide provider of measurement solutions, unveiled the Keithley Model 2606B System SourceMeter instrument that packs four 20-watt SMU channels into a single 1U form factor chassis. Targeting the fast-growing 3D sensing manufacturing industry, the rackspace-saving Model 2606B combines the capabilities of a precision power supply, true current source, 6½-digit DMM, arbitrary waveform generator, and pulse generator into one tightly integrated instrument. With its patented series ranging topology, the Model 2606B delivers up to 20,000 operations per second resulting from faster and smoother range changes and outputs that settle more quickly.

Keysight Technologies, Inc., a technology company that helps enterprises, service providers, and governments accelerate innovation to connect and secure the world, announced PROPSIM F64 5G Channel Emulation Solution — the industry's first 5G New Radio (NR)-ready channel emulation solution. Keysight's PROPSIM F64 5G Channel Emulation Solution enables chipset, device, and network equipment manufacturers to characterize end-to-end system performance of the latest 4G and 5G base stations and mobile devices by emulating real-world radio conditions in the lab.

The new R&S TLU9 GapFiller from Rohde & Schwarz heralds a new era in gap filler technology. Conventional gap fillers are increasingly unable to meet the needs and requirements of network operators. The R&S TLU9 GapFiller, on the other hand, scores top marks for outstanding signal quality in every situation, strong performance even with Doppler echoes, and uninterrupted transmission for maximum reliability. It dramatically reduces maintenance effort and associated operating costs for network operators.

NI, the provider of platform-based systems that enable engineers and scientists to solve the world’s greatest engineering challenges, announced that major automotive manufacturers like Subaru are using NI hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) technology to simulate actual road conditions for electric vehicle testing, eliminating environmental factors to reduce test time and costs.

Tektronix, Inc., a leading worldwide provider of measurement solutions, introduced the Keithley DMM6500 6½-digit Bench/System Digital Multimeter and DAQ6510 Data Acquisition and Logging Multimeter System. These new instruments combine the simplicity of a "pinch and zoom" touchscreen interface for easy and faster test setup and at-a-glance monitoring and display with the power of 15 different measurement functions, wide measurement ranges, multichannel measurements, and class-leading accuracy and sensitivity.

Keysight Technologies, Inc., a leading technology company that helps enterprises, service providers, and governments accelerate innovation to connect and secure the world, announced it has provided a 28 GHz Channel Sounding Solution to NTT DOCOMO, Inc., Japan’s Leading Mobile Operator, for a channel sounding research project.

Rohde & Schwarz has extended its R&S FPC spectrum analyzer family, adding the R&S FPC1500. This compact instrument combines a spectrum analyzer, a one-port vector network analyzer and a CW signal generator. It is ideal for education, for applications in service and repair shops and for professional hobbyists. It is the first spectrum analyzer on the market to integrate the three most commonly used instruments on an RF engineer's workbench in one budget-friendly instrument.

Anritsu Company introduces 5G measurement software options for its Signal Analyzer MS2850A that are compliant with the 3GPP 5G New Radio (5G NR) standard. With the software installed, the MS2850A provides engineers with a cost-efficient and accurate solution to verify the RF Tx characteristics of next-generation 5G base stations and mobile devices, as well as satellite communications equipment and wideband communications systems.
