newproducts continued
to offer benchtop performance
and the Tektronix
user interface. Weighing
less than four pounds and
1.5 inches thin, the 2 Series
MSO can fit into a small
backpack, delivering unmatched
performance and
portability.
With the 2 Series MSO,
engineers can achieve things not possible on previous oscilloscopes.
The easy to use 10.1 inch touchscreen display makes
working on the go easier and faster. The built-in capabilities
of the optional Arbitrary Function Generator (AFG), pattern
generator, voltmeter and frequency counter mean users have
versatility built into one instrument-increasing what they
can do while reducing the number of instruments to carry or
purchase. With up to eight hours of battery power engineers
will discover a new level of freedom on the job.
With a variety of integrated options, the 2 Series MSO is
equipped for advanced debugging in a single instrument,
including:
◗ Bandwidths from 70 MHz-500 MHz
◗ Two or four analog channel inputs
◗ 16 digital channels (available with future software
release)
◗ 2.5 GS/s sample rate
◗ Optional 50 MHz Arbitrary Function Generator
◗ Built-in pattern generator, voltmeter, and frequency
counter (available with future software release)
◗ Optional battery provides up to eight hours of power

Updated Digitizers
Spectrum Instrumentation claims to have the world's first
digitizers to use the full 16 lane PCIe interface (Gen 3) for massive
data streaming. The cards can stream acquired data over
the bus at 12.8 GB/s, which is a transfer rate nearly twice as
fast as any other PCIe digitizer currently on the market. Now
Spectrum Instrumentation has released a cost-effective variant,
specifically designed for dual-channel applications. The
new model boasts the same streaming speed and matches it
with synchronous 3.2 GS/s, 12-bit sampling on each channel.
This means no data needs
to be lost, even when the
card is acquiring data with
both channels running
at their maximum sampling
rate. The ultrafast
bus allows all the data to
be transferred directly to
PC memory for storage, or
56
even to Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA) based
GPUs for processing and analysis.
The new model M5i.3321-x16 is designed to handle a wide
variety of signals. The unit's fast sampling rate and high resolution
are supported by fully functional front-end electronics
with 1 GHz bandwidth, programmable full-scale ranges from
±200 mV to ±2.5 V and variable offset.
With 12-bit resolution, the M5i.3321-x16 card offers wide
dynamic range. Measurements are made with improved precision
and better signal-to-noise ratio when compared to those
made with more conventional 8-bit test instruments. Importantly,
the extra resolution allows users to capture small
signals that may ride on larger ones, revealing the fine signal
details that are often missed by lower resolution devices.
The capability to stream data directly to a CUDA GPU is
possible using the company's Spectrum's CUDA Access for
Parallel Processing (SCAPP) package, which is available as
a low-cost option. SCAPP includes the necessary drivers for
CUDA GPU support and allows users to develop their own
processing routines. To help getting started, the package includes
working examples that can be modified and built upon.
The cards come with all the tools necessary to use them in a
PC running either a Windows or Linux operating system. Alternatively,
for users who don't want to write their own code,
the company offers SBench 6 Professional.

3D
Printable Dielectric Material
Radix Printable Dielectric
(Dk) material is the
first UV-curable 3D printing
resin designed for RF
applications, enabling designers
to leverage the
design freedom of additive
manufacturing for greater performance and flexibility.
Radix Printable Dielectric materials are a ceramic-filled,
UV-curable polymer designed for use with photopolymer
3D-printing processes like sterolithography (SLA) and digital
light processing (DLP) printing. These materials and printing
processes enable the use of high-resolution, scalable 3D-printing
for complex RF dielectric components such as gradient
index (GRIN) lenses or three-dimensional circuits. The 2.8 Dk
printable dielectric is designed to have low loss characteristics
through millimeter wave (mmWave) frequencies and low
moisture absorption for end-use applications. The materials
are also available directly from Radix 3D-printing processing
partners.
Features:
◗ Lowest loss UV-curable material at 24 GHz for 3D
printing
