Test Ideas: Generate a swept sine in LabView: Test audio devices by producing a signal on a data-acquisition card.
By Sean McPeak, University of California, San Diego -- Test & Measurement World, 2/1/2009
Swept sine waves let you test a device over a wide frequency range. To implement a swept sine wave with a multifunction data-acquisition card, you need to generate the data points and send them to the card. You can create a swept sine function in National Instruments’ LabView with just one VI (virtual instrument) that can control start and stop frequencies, sample rate, and sweep duration. Using the signal, I tested an acoustic transducer used in a research project for measuring wave propagation in the open ocean...

Agilent to redouble efforts on ICT
By Rick Nelson
Jack Rozwat, Americas sales and support GM for the systems and solutions team in Agilent’s electronic measurements group, cited two reasons for exiting the inspection businesses. READ MORE.
Agilent Technologies today announced it will exit the automated optical inspection (AOI) and automated x-ray inspection (AXI) systems business. The company reports that the decision is based on a longer-term business strategy to focus on electronic test, which has been the company's historical core competency for several decades.
Agilent will continue to expand its 3070 in-circuit test platform and its functional-test-system platforms. through new technologies and innovations.
Agilent said it is committed to providing continued support to customers who have invested in its AOI and AXI systems. This support will include the availability of support parts, time and material services, and self-support options until end of the products' support life.
Tektronix has announced a triggering-and-analysis module for serial-digital-audio buses and a new power-analysis module. The modules plug into the company’s DPO (digital phosphor oscilloscope) 3000 and MSO (mixed-signal-oscilloscope)/DPO4000 Series and enable the use of analysis capabilities that reside in the firmware of the instruments, which offer bandwidths as high as 1 GHz. The capabilities automate measurement and analysis tasks on digital-audio buses and switch-mode power supplies, simplifying and speeding troubleshooting and debugging of new designs. READ MORE
