PRODUCT BRIEFING Switching Module Designed For USB Format The SMU4032 Switching Module is a compact, true instrumentation multiplexer powered by USB. It provides 35 differential inputs that can be conﬁgured on the ﬂy into a single 35:1 differential multiplexer, a 16:4-wire multiplexer, four independent 8:1 differential multiplexers, two 16:1 differential multiplexers, or as a 64:1 single-ended switch. Thermal EMF errors are <1 µV; isolated power and relay drive minimize noise. Guarded/shielded construction supports high common-mode rejection, and an on-board microcontroller simpliﬁes the user interface. The SMU4032 features a set of built-in self-test functions that includes the capability to check for relay bounce duration, shorted or open relay contacts, excessive contact resistance, and other critical diagnostics. A contact self-cleaning function also is included.

SuperSpeed USB, which operates at 5 Gb/s, will adopt a new physical layer using two chanannels to separate ate data transmisssions and acknowledgements. knowledgements This test solution for USB 3.0 includes the DSA71254 12-GHz or higher bandwidth oscilloscope for transmitter testing, the DPOJET with USB 3.0 setup ﬁles and transmit channel emulation for validation and debug, real-time Serial Data Link Analysis Software for transmitter channel emulation, the AWG7102 with receiver test patterns and receive channel emulation for receiver testing, and the DSA8200 Sampling Scope and iConnect software for interconnect testing. Tektronix, www.rsleads.com/812ee-207 Modules and Chassis Offer Fast Wireless Measurements New to the RF test arena are the PXIe-5663 Vector Signal Analyzer and the PXIe-5673 Vector Signal Generator complemented by the PXIe-1075 Chassis. The PXIe-5663 performs signal analysis from 10 MHz to 6.6 GHz with up to 50 MHz of instantaneous bandwidth. The PXIe-5673 delivers signal generation from 85 MHz to 6.6 GHz and up to 100 MHz of instantaneous bandwidth. The 18-slot, high-bandwidth PXIe-1075 features PCI Express lanes routed to every slot providing 1 GB/s per-slot bandwidth and 4 GB/s total system bandwidth. Wireless protocols can be developed and tested by reconﬁguring the software using standard-speciﬁc LabVIEW toolkits or custom modulation algorithms. LabVIEW-based toolkits are available for many technologies including WiMAX, GPS, WCDMA, GSM, EDGE, broadcast video, 802.11, Bluetooth, OFDM, and MIMO. National Instruments, www.rsleads.com/812ee-204 Compact DSOs Support 20,000 History Memories The DLM2000 Series of compact mixed-signal oscilloscopes (MSOs) provides up to 500 MHz bandwidth, 2-GS/s sampling speed, and a memory up to 125 Mpoints. Six models make up the series: three with two channels and three with four, each group with 200-, 350-, and 500-MHz bandwidths. MSO operation is enabled on the four-channel models by converting the fourth channel of analog input to 8-bit logic so the instrument functions as a three-channel analog plus 8-bit logic MSO. Logic probes with individual bit threshold setting and 100-kΩ input impedance at 250 MHz complement the capability. Additional features include histogram and trending functions, up to 20,000 history memories, digital ﬁltering, zoom windows, user-deﬁned mathematics, and serial bus analysis.
