as an auxiliary test instrument
and communicate
with any other ATE over
a serial bus. It includes a
complete and easy to run test program set (TPS) that also
locates and diagnoses the source of the defect or failure.
HiSPINOUT can be connected to military ATE- such as
eCASS, VDATS and IFTE- and used as an integral part of a
line replaceable unit (LRU) TPS. Currently, HiSPINOUT tests
the USB 3.0 bus. Other high-speed (or low speed) bus testing
applications, as they become available, can be run on the same
HiSPINOUT hardware platform.
Description:
◗ HiSPINOUT is a novel automatic test equipment (ATE)
approach to test high-speed I/O buses on circuit boards
and systems, using FPGA-based reconfigurable synthetic
instruments
◗ From the users' perspective, HiSPINOUT offers a way to
test complex high-speed buses, such as the USB 3.0 (USB
3.1 Gen 1) in an easy to run plug-and play mode.
◗ There is no need for test program development- we have
already done that for you!
◗ It is easy to operate Hi-SPINOUT's end-to-end test by
anyone with easy-to-follow instructions (See HiSPINOUT
Test Flow's left branch).
◗ Individual tests can be run by technical personnel to make
signal integrity decisions (see HiSPINOUT Test Flow's
right branch).
◗ HiSPINOUT can connect to your In-Circuit or Functional
ATE, including military ATE and used as an auxiliary test
instrument, providing high-speed test capability even to
legacy ATE.
◗ can benefit from HiSPINOUT:
◗ If you manufacture circuit boards, you can now fully test
the I/O integrity even during in-circuit test, saving you
from a complex fault finding later, at a higher cost.
◗ Detecting and eliminating defects before the product
matures and increases in cost, can save millions pf dollars.
◗ In support/repair testing complex high-speed signals
at-speed gives you the best way to judge signal integrity
viewed on an eye diagram, allowing you to spot early
degradation.

Optical Measuring Machine
Accommodates Both Flat and
Cylindrical Parts
The new Metrios Re-Light optical measuring machine provides
users with a single device for components of all shapes,
flat and cylindrical. Thanks to the machine's innovative automatic
rotation, it is possible to measure every side of a
part in one complete cycle. For any manufacturer looking to
64
check their components in
cost-effective, short cycle
times with absolute precision
and reliability, the
all-in-one Metrios Re-Light
provides the solution.
Representing a new
generation of optical measuring
machine that makes
quality control even easier,
the Metrios Re-Light is
sufficiently robust for use
in shop-floor production
environments. Measuring
on the shop floor supports
rapid intervention that ensures the process does not go out of
tolerance, avoiding costly waste.
Central to the new machine's capabilities is its automatic
rotation function. By providing the potential to obtain both
static and dynamic measurements using a single instrument,
users not only enjoy short cycle times, but also the assurance
that these times will be repeatable, which helps to provide accurate
component costings. Furthermore, users obtain all of
the results in a single Metrios report, simplifying the entire
quality control process whatever the industry: automotive,
aerospace, medical, or any other precision engineering sector.
Using traditional optical measuring machines there is
always some concern about whether awkwardly shaped components
will sit level on the glass surface. Using the latest
innovation from Metrios, however, users can simply deploy
the 'Re-Light' function to position any parts that do not sit
comfortably on the measuring surface.
Users also gain from all of the established benefits associated
with using a non-contact measuring system, such as
highly accurate dimensional measurement in seconds, and
suitability for parts that would be too sensitive for measurement
using a tactile probe.

Smart Power Sensor
Mini-Circuits' PWR-8PW-RC is a high-performance sensor
for any power measurement application from 10 MHz to
8 GHz. The 10 MHz internal
modulation bandwidth,
coupled with a data processing
rate of 20 million
samples-per-second, enables
measurement of a wide
range of analog and digital
modulation types. The
video output port additionally
provides 30 MHz video
