Oscilloscopes with Waveform Generator
Agilent Technologies Inc. added optional arbitrary waveform generation
capability and five new analysis applications to its InfiniiVision 3000
X-Series oscilloscopes. AWG makes it easy for engineers to capture
waveforms with their oscilloscopes and instantly convert them to stimulus
files to simplify stimulus/response testing. Nine months ago, Agilent was
the first major test-instrument vendor to integrate a function generator
with an oscilloscope. This integration is popular with manufacturers
who want to simplify stimulus-response testing, R&D engineers who
need to simulate missing signals and educators who want a simple
tool for teaching students about instrument operation. Now the company has become the first to add AWG to its
oscilloscopes. Agilent is including this software upgrade – which is used with the integrated WaveGen 20-MHZ
function generator option – at no additional cost. For more information, please click here.
Embedded Motor Control Dev Kit
Microchip Technology Inc., a leading provider of microcontroller,
analog and Flash-IP solutions, and Digilent®, Inc., today announced
the availability of a Microchip dsPIC33 Digital Signal Controller (DSC)based
development kit. The Digilent® Cerebot MC7 Development
Kit addresses the growing interest in embedded motor control from
the academic and hobbyist markets, and is ideal for learning about
microcontrollers and solving real problems. The kit includes a
demonstration board that provides four half-bridge circuits, eight RC
servo motor connectors, the ability to use Digilent Pmod peripheral
modules, and an integrated programming/debugging circuit that
is compatible with the free MPLAB® IDE. Example applications include university embedded-systems and
communications classes, senior capstone projects, and numerous other academic and hobbyist projects. For more

Improved Handheld Spectrum Analyzer
Agilent Technologies Inc. announced it is adding new features and options
to its recently launched N934xC handheld spectrum analyzer (HSA)
family. The introduction also includes HSA PC software enhancements.
“The HSA launched in March 2011 delivered a rich, powerful, fieldready
instrument for engineers and technicians,” said Brian LeMay,
general manager of Agilent’s Chengdu Instruments Division. “Now we
have added even more capabilities to make it one of the most versatile
handheld spectrum analyzers available today.” For more information,
