An era is coming to an end – HAMEG Instruments, a subsidiary of Rohde&Schwarz, recently announced that it will soon cease production of its last analog oscilloscope...

CAN bus analysis now also available in the oscilloscope entry level class - The success story of the Controller Area Network (CAN) bus started in the 80’s in the automotive industry. This bus system was explicitly developed for cars in order to realize a simple and robust network between the increasing number of electronic instruments in luxury class cars...

Increase of mobile equipment sales pushes demand for battery tests – Sales of laptops, mobile phones, and MP3 players meanwhile far exceeded a billion units per year. Recurring reports about quality problems concerning the incorporated batteries continue to push the demand for standard measuring instruments for sample tests, production and re-qualification tests further upwards...

When using an oscilloscope, the most ubiquitous measurement instrument in electronics design, quite frequently the importance of the correct connection to the signal is underestimated. There is no question that e.g. the high data rate of 5 GBit/s of USB 3.0 requires the use of special probes and methods of connection...

Featuring 4 GSa/s and 2 MByte of memory per channel, the brand new HMO series of 350MHz DSOs can easily be upgraded to MSO functionality with up to 16 active logic channels by simply plugging in an optional logic probe...

Every electronic laboratory has power supplies which deliver the voltages and currents required by the test circuits. Voltage and current adjustment features, the number of channels and the price are the standard selection criteria when buying decisions are are to be made...

HAMEG Instruments regard „compactness“ as a topic of an importance reaching far beyond the scope of a single instrument....

Change of paradigms in the measuring instruments industry - The widespread use of wireless applications as well as the requirements of low EMI emission from state-of-theart digital circuits caused a new thinking in laboratories and test departments. While the signal analysis in the time domain is well established, spectrum analysis is now demanding its place on the lab bench.

To many, spectrum analysis appears to be a type of "secret knowledge" dominated by only few specialists. One might acquire this impression from reading the available literature on this topic. It is full of theories, integrals, differential equations as far as the eye can see. The practical engineer’s central interest, though, basically focuses on two questions: "How does it work and what can I do with it?"

In many years of practical application the HAMEG Modular System Series 8000 has proven its value to the customer. The advantages of this modular system have been demonstrated by several 100,000 modules sold. The unexcelled price-performance ratio and the enormous flexibility of the plug-in system allow you to adapt your measurement set-ups quickly and cost effectively to changing requirements. You save space by stacking up to 5 instruments. This will offer you 10 instruments on a minimum of space. The blank module HM800 is available for your own designs to be integrated with the other measuring instruments. The power supply voltages necessary are available from the mainframe.
