			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>TIBCO Software Inc. (NASDAQ: TIBX) announced today that Hub télécom, operator and integrator of business solutions, has selected TIBCO Software Inc. to develop an operated and universal applications platform for collecting and processing RFID identification data. The &#8220;Hub&#8217;ID&#8221; traceability service relies on an open services platform aimed at providing an end-to-end object monitoring solution extending from the RFID collection infrastructure to customers&#8217; business applications. The Hub&#8217;ID service is applicable to all companies on the airport platform and to Transport, Freight and Logistics operations throughout mainland France.</p>
<p>Adding Value to Information</p>
<p>The Hub&#8217;ID platform, developed on the basis of the TIBCO software, receives and formats the data collected by the various RFID sensors in real time and to the various standards required by the market. As operator service, the platform has the capacity to process high volumes of RFID data coming from numerous sites and numerous collection sources. The TIBCO platform (including TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks(TM)) processes the raw data by assigning it a business definition, or even enhancing it to ensure real time traceability of objects; the platform then transmits the data directly to the customers&#8217; information systems. The platform is able to integrate heterogeneous technologies from Hub télécom&#8217;s partners. Redundant or useless data is systematically divided or filtered.</p>
<p>The visibility of the volumes of data processed allows Hub télécom to see what has actually been utilized and to invoice its services as accurately as possible.</p>
<p>An Open Platform</p>
<p>The first business application implemented on the Hub&#8217;ID platform meets the RFID luggage traceability requirements of Paris Charles de Gaulle airport. It allows the networking and the mutualization of gates and RFID tunnels which are displayed on the sorting luggage zones and the tarmac. Hub télécom offers this service to feed the computer luggage systems of airline companies, stopover support organizations and airports. However, in addition to airport applications, the service has been designed to ensure monitoring of all types of logistical flows anywhere in France. Hub télécom&#8217;s system is a turnkey service: it includes RFID readers, either fixed or mobile (PDA), network services, and business data processing services.</p>
<p>&#8220;The TIBCO solution has been chosen for its modularity, its robustness and its ability to manage high volumes of RFID data. It allows us to assume our unique position as RFID operator in the market without any fuss,&#8221; commented Nicolas Lehovetzki, Hub télécom&#8217;s director of Marketing, Innovation, Engineering and Information Technology.</p>
<p>Adds Fabio Pulidori, senior vice president of EMEA, TIBCO: &#8220;Our collaboration with Hub télécom puts TIBCO&#8217;s solutions at the operational heart of one of the world&#8217;s five busiest airports. TIBCO will play a critical role in monitoring a wide range of logistical flows in real time, reinforcing our reputation for providing solutions that are relied on to deliver flexibility and control in business scenarios characterized by complex events and high volumes of operational data.&#8221;</p>
<p>About Hub télécom:</p>
<p>With its considerable expertise in airport platform telecommunications, Hub télécom, a subsidiary of the Aéroports de Paris group, is the foremost specialist in airports, ports and logistical operations both in France and on an international level. The company&#8217;s knowledge and added value make it both a telecommunications operator and an integrator of communications and applications solutions for transport and logistics. Hub télécom is able to address the telecommunications issues of its clients globally and on a personalized footing. The company ensures the convergence of flows on the corporate network and optimization of the supply chain processes for all corporate clients looking for new means of improving their productivity in this area. Hub télécom offers telecommunications services to over 1350 companies within the Paris airports, and to regional airports and exhibition or conference centers, with 150,000 daily users.</p>

It is commonly used in all kinds of electronics labs. Since the data format of this generator is completely compatible with Tektronix, it reads the waveform data files produced by Tektronix oscilloscopes or Tektronix waveform editor software and redisplays the waveforms directly. The smart generator features one channel of arbitrary waveform output, 8 bit output, and synchronized signal output. It supports two input channels for counter/frequency measurement, 8 bit input and external trigger input.</p>
<p style="text-align: left">
<p>GAO Instruments’ arbitrary waveform generator, model A0200002, is shipped with an SDK and an API and can be easily integrated or embedded into other auto-measuring systems. Users can edit the waveform or choose from regular waveforms such as Sine, Square, Triangle, Saw-tooth, TTL, white Noise, Gauss Noise, Trapezoid, Exponent, AM and FM; parameters such as amplitude, frequency and offset are settable. This USB waveform generator uses DDS (Direct Digital Synthesized) technology, for high frequency accuracy, high waveform resolution, and high reliability.</p>
<p style="text-align: left">
<p>The USB arbitrary generator conforms to the following working principle: the PC transfers the waveform data into the memory of the signal generator via USB bus; the ID counter cycles and sends the period waveform data to the DAC circuit; the DDS circuit produces the corresponding DAC refreshing clock.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Oct. 22, 2009—The <a href="http://www.dod.gov" target="_blank">U.S. Department of Defense</a> (DOD) has placed its first order for <a onclick="return sgt(this);" href="/glossary/126">RFID</a> technology compliant with the <a onclick="return sgt(this);" href="/glossary/260">ISO 18000</a>-7 standard for a November 2009 delivery, to be provided by <a href="http://www.unisys.com" target="_blank">Unisys</a>, <a href="http://www.savi.com" target="_blank">Savi</a>, <a href="http://www.spec.com" target="_blank">Systems and Processes Engineering Corp.</a> (SPEC) and <a href="http://www.northropgrumman.com" target="_blank">Northrop Grumman</a>. Previously, all four companies had been chosen by the DOD to compete for orders under its RFID-III contract, which calls for active 433.92 MHz RFID tags and readers compliant with the <a onclick="return sgt(this);" href="/glossary/219">ISO</a> 18000-7 standard.</p>
<p>The newly ordered battery-powered 433 MHz tags were tested and approved this summer by the DOD&#8217;s <a href="http://www.eis.army.mil/AIT/" target="_blank">Product Manager Joint-Automatic Identification Technology</a> (PM J-AIT) office, after passing <a onclick="return sgt(this);" href="/glossary/50">electromagnetic interference</a> (<a onclick="return sgt(this);" href="/glossary/51">EMI</a>) testing in August at <a href="http://www.wpafb.af.mil/" target="_blank">Wright Patterson Air Force Base</a>. The previous RFID-II contract for 433 MHz was based on Savi&#8217;s proprietary 433 MHz RFID technology, while the new RFID-III contract requires 433 MHz products compliant with the ISO 18000-7 standard and supplied by multiple vendors. By using ISO 18000-7-compliant RFID hardware, the DOD and other U.S. and allied agencies will have a broadened <a onclick="return sgt(this);" href="/glossary/254">interoperability</a> of their technology.</p>
<p> PM J-AIT placed orders with all four vendors for tags to be delivered in early November—altogether ordering approximately 128,000 data-rich tags that can store large amounts of information, and 40,000 <a onclick="return sgt(this);" href="/glossary/93">license plate</a> tags encoded simply with a unique ID number. All four RFID-III vendors received a portion of this award. In 2007, Savi—which owns intellectual property necessary for complying with the ISO 18000-7 standard—granted licenses to other vendors so they could manufacture products compliant with that standard (see <a href="http://www.rfidjournal.com/article/articleview/2966/1/1/">Seven Companies Sign Up for Savi IP License</a>). Savi says its portion of the new order for ISO 18000-7 hardware totals $6.6 million and includes the Savi ST-654 data-rich <a onclick="return sgt(this);" href="/glossary/157">tag</a>, widely used to track shipping containers, vehicles and other large assets, as well as the Savi ST-621, a license plate tag.</p>
<p>In December 2008, the DOD granted the four prime contractors the opportunity to compete for orders under its RFID-III contract—an indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract established by the U.S. Army on behalf of all U.S. armed services (see <a href="http://www.rfidjournal.com/article/articleview/4539">U.S. Defense Department Picks Four for RFID-III</a>). The contract, administered by the PM J-AIT office, entitles the four firms to compete for purchase orders from any authorized organization supporting the Defense Department, the <a href="http://www.uscg.mil/" target="_blank">U.S. Coast Guard</a>, the <a href="http://www.nato.int/cps/en/natolive/index.htm" target="_blank">North Atlantic Treaty Organization</a> (NATO), coalition partners and other foreign military agencies. The purchase orders, however, were contingent on passage of the EMI testing, which was intended to determine whether RFID technology in airplanes or helicopters would interfere with onboard avionics, such as radios, navigation or flight instruments.</p>
<p>&#8220;The test procedure is used to verify that radiated spurious and harmonic emissions from transmitters do not exceed the specified requirements,&#8221; says John Zentner, an electromagnetic environmental effects engineer at the <a href="http://www.wpafb.af.mil/AFRL/" target="_blank">Air Force Research Laboratory</a>&#8217;s Sensors Directorate.</p>
<p>Because the four vendors&#8217; tags passed aircraft testing, they were granted inclusion in the military&#8217;s EMI certification, which lists specific devices—such as laptop computers and audio-visual equipment—that have been approved to operate while aboard military aircraft.</p>
<p>The tags were tested in a lab to simulate the environment in which they would operate—namely, helicopters, as well as large and small fixed-wing aircraft—to determine whether they met the requirements of the DOD Interface Standard 461F (an RF standard used by the U.S. military, according to Zentner). In theory, he says, a tag&#8217;s power supply could generate RF <a onclick="return sgt(this);" href="/glossary/105">noise</a>. All of the vendors&#8217; tags now operate within the military&#8217;s 461F specifications, though at least one model needed to be modified before it could pass the test. Helicopters are the greatest risk for this interference, he adds, since they have more apertures (openings through which RF transmissions could leak out) than other small or large aircraft.</p>
<p>Ultimately, Zentner says, the <a onclick="return sgt(this);" href="/glossary/126">RFID</a> hardware provided no interference concerns. &#8220;RFID devices seem fairly innocent,&#8221; he states. The tests were undertaken in a metallic room without actual aircraft, and the tags were set to continually transmit. The researchers measured the electromagnetic fields that resulted.</p>
<p>For Savi, says Mark Nelson, the company&#8217;s director of corporate communications, &#8220;it means that we now have an authoritative source that has tested active RFID at the 433 MHz range, and has found that it does not interfere with the aircraft that is carrying the tags. This certification can now be used to show civilian airlines that the tags are safe to carry.&#8221;</p>
<p>The DOD and other government agencies use aircraft as a means of transporting RFID-tagged cargo. In the case of the 18000-7 tags, most will be utilized on shipping containers that would be transported by ocean, so few will actually be placed within an aircraft. However, the <a onclick="return sgt(this);" href="/glossary/51">EMI</a> certification indicates the tags can be safely transported by air, if necessary.</p>
<p>The switch to <a onclick="return sgt(this);" href="/glossary/260">ISO 18000</a>-7 hardware is opening up opportunities for the commercial use of active RFID technology for tracking supplies that will be transported to or by the military, says Patrick Burns, the president of the <a href="http://www.dash7.org/" target="_blank">Dash7 Alliance</a>, a coalition of 30 companies and organizations from multiple industries focused on supporting the adoption of the <a onclick="return sgt(this);" href="/glossary/219">ISO</a> 18000-7 standard. The alliance was launched this year, in part due to the DOD&#8217;s plans for the RFID-III contract using ISO 18000-7 (see <a href="http://www.rfidjournal.com/article/articleview/4696/1/1/">Dash7 Alliance Seeks to Promote RFID Hardware Based on ISO 18000-7 Standard</a>).</p>
<p>The DOD has been an advisor to the alliance, helping the organization to develop testing and certification procedures for <a onclick="return sgt(this);" href="/glossary/254">interoperability</a> of the technology, as well as planning the next stages, including <a onclick="return sgt(this);" href="/glossary/247">encryption</a> plans and outreach work to publicize the active RFID standard. Products purchased by the DOD in this order have earned Dash7 1.0 Interoperability Certification, indicating they have successfully completed baseline <a onclick="return sgt(this);" href="/glossary/335">interoperability testing</a> for DOD-specific deployments.</p>
<p>The use of <a onclick="return sgt(this);" href="/glossary/260">ISO 18000</a>-7-compliant technology in the <a onclick="return sgt(this);" href="/glossary/126">RFID</a>-III contract, Burns says, could lead to the use of the same technology by DOD suppliers. This would enable the companies to then track products through the supply chain, both for their own purposes and for the Defense Department.</p>
<p>The DOD employs approximately 30,000 active RFID tags per month for its shipments, the bulk of which travel to the Middle East. That number will vary, depending upon the movement of troops and supplies into and out of the war zones of Iraq and Afghanistan.</p>
<p>On Sept. 30 of this year, Unisys received the first order for the new active tags, and was given 45 days to deliver them, according to Michael Saunders, the company&#8217;s federal system partner for the DOD and the U.S. Army—though he declines to indicate the exact number of tags ordered, or whether they were data-rich or <a onclick="return sgt(this);" href="/glossary/93">license plate</a> tags. &#8220;Unisys believes we can supply about 50 percent of the military&#8217;s needs,&#8221; he says.</p>
<p>The DOD&#8217;s adoption of the <a onclick="return sgt(this);" href="/glossary/219">ISO</a> 18000-7 standard is saving the agency money. Saunders says the new tags provided by Unisys will cost about half as much as the previous Savi proprietary tags. &#8220;It makes good sense for the government,&#8221; he indicates. Although Savi does not discuss pricing, Nelson says, &#8220;it&#8217;s reasonable to assume that the costs of [these ISO 18000-7] tags are highly competitive with historical prices. As more active RFID technologies based on the ISO 18000-7 standard become even more ubiquitous and innovations arise from it, we fully expect that active <a onclick="return sgt(this);" href="/glossary/137">RFID tag</a> prices will continue to move downward over time.&#8221;</p>
<p>If the current RFID-III vendors wish to provide new tags other than those already approved for the DOD, that hardware would require <a onclick="return sgt(this);" href="/glossary/51">EMI</a> testing, says Lieutenant Colonel Cary Ferguson, PM J-AIT&#8217;s product manager. All ISO 18000-7 interrogators will only read tags that are compliant with that standard. Therefore, to become ISO 18000-7-compliant, previous tags must be upgraded through an update to their <a onclick="return sgt(this);" href="/glossary/211">firmware</a>.</p>
<p>In order for Savi&#8217;s older proprietary interrogators to <a onclick="return sgt(this);" href="/glossary/128">read</a> the new ISO 18000-7 tags, they must be upgraded to support dual mode, enabling the <a onclick="return sgt(this);" href="/glossary/129">reader</a> to interrogate not only Savi&#8217;s proprietary 433 MHz tags, but also tags complying with the ISO 18000-7 standard. PM J-AIT has upgraded its Radio <a onclick="return sgt(this);" href="/glossary/76">Frequency</a> In-Transit Visibility (RF-ITV) infrastructure so that it is capable of operating in a dual-mode environment. The RF-ITV is a system designed to assist in the implementation and integration of RFID technology into the DOD&#8217;s supply chain.</p>
<p>According to Ferguson, the RFID-III contract has a maximum potential value of $429.4 million for products, services and maintenance. Unisys selected RFID hardware vendors <a href="http://www.higtek.com/" target="_blank">Hi-G-Tek</a> and <a href="http://www.identecsolutions.com/" target="_blank">Identec Solutions</a> to serve as the subcontractors that would supply the actual tags. SPEC is using hardware from Identec Solutions, Northrop Grumman utilizes <a href="http://www.evigia.com/" target="_blank">Evigia</a> hardware, and Savi manufactures its own tags.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A Venezuelan hacking suspect arrested in Mexico last February on computer hacking and fraud charges faces a court appearance in New Jersey on Tuesday, following his extradition to the US last week.</p>
<p>Edwin Pena, 26, a former Miami resident, fled from US justice in August 2006 two months after he was bailed on charges of hacking into phone systems and stealing VoIP call credits. Pena allegedly resold these services in collusion with an accomplice, Robert Moore of Washington. Pena and Moore raked in an estimated $1.4m through the alleged sale of 10 million voice call minutes stolen from telecoms suppliers.</p>
<p>Moore pleaded guilty multiple computer hacking and fraud offences in late 2007, resulting in a two year jail sentence. His admitted involvement in the scam involved scanning telecom supplier networks for vulnerabilities between June 2005 and October 2005. Pena, the alleged brains of the operation and major beneficiary, use Moore&#8217;s reconnaissance to draw up a list of targets for attack.</p>
<p>The Venezuelan used brute force techniques to extract activation codes from vulnerable telecom supplier systems. Among those victimised was a Newark, New Jersey supplier of telecoms services.</p>
<p>Pena used the alleged proceeds of crime to finance a comfortable lifestyle including real estate in Miami, a 40-foot boat and a BMW M3 car. He is due to appear before a judge on Tuesday before an arraignment scheduled for 23 October before US District Judge Susan D Wigenton, who has been assigned the case.</p>
<p>“This extradition represents the continued success of the United States in working with foreign countries to bring alleged cyber criminals to justice,” said US Attorney Paul J Fishman in a <a href="http://media-newswire.com/release_1103063.html" target="_blank">statement</a> on the case. “No one should feel free and comfortable from prosecution or detection merely by being in another country.” ®</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Market watcher Berg Insight reports that the number of mobile subscribers downloading navigation routes and turn-by-turn navigation instructions using their mobile handsets increased twofold from 1H 08 to 1H 09 to reach 28 million. The company forecasts that until 2015, the subscriber base will grow at a CAGR of 33.7 percent to reach 160 million users worldwide. The growing adoption will be driven primarily by the broader availability of GPS-enabled handsets and bundling of navigation applications with mobile devices and service plans.</p>
<p>In the United States and Japan, where mass market GPS handsets are already available, adoption of mobile navigation services have already surpassed three and four percent of the total mobile subscriber base respectively. More recently, increasing volumes of GPS handsets have also started to pave the way for adoption of mobile navigation services in Europe where PNDs have been the prevailing navigation solution for some years. In other regions of the world, better availability of low-cost GPS cellphones and improving map coverage will enable rapid uptake of navigation services in the coming years.</p>
<p>&#8220;Mobile operators and handset vendors are now starting to experience the business opportunity of a growing installed base of GPS handsets and customers trying navigation services,&#8221; said André Malm, senior analyst, Berg Insight. He adds that since relatively few subscribers need turn-by-turn navigation services on a daily basis, the mobile industry should integrate navigation services with other location-based services to improve the total user experience and ensure that customers continue to subscribe.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Rolling Meadows, IL&#8211;(Marketwire) &#8211; Charles Industries, Ltd., a leading provider of outside plant innovations for communications service providers, has expanded its industry-leading family of fiber optic pedestal lines with the introduction of Charles Fiber Cross-Connects (CFXC) for point-to-point architecture fiber networks. CFXC provide a convenient cross-connect and testing point between the feeder network and the distribution field in Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) networks. Compared to traditional metallic cross-connect cabinets, their above-grade pedestal form factor is more convenient and less costly to install.</p>
<p>Unlike metallic cross-connect cabinets, the lift-off dome design of CFXC pedestals provides flood-proof environmental protection, allowing them to be installed in almost any location. Their compact size compared to large cabinets makes them easier to install and ideally suited to small communities and neighborhoods. Right-of-ways are no longer a concern and the units can be economically placed directly in the ground without the need for an expensive concrete pad.</p>
<p>CFXC feature a pre-stubbed cross-connect bulkhead with user-specified SC/APC or SC/UPC connectors. The bulkhead is sealed inside an inner dome that protects connectors from dust, insects and other contaminants. Routing guides are provided for organized fiber management of shielded or all-dielectric ribbon or loose tube fiber cable. Once placed in the network, technicians may turn up new customers quickly and easily by placing a pre-connectorized jumper from the feed panel to the distribution panel, all conveniently located on the front panel of the bulkhead</p>
<p>&#8220;Placing metallic cross-connect cabinets is often cost-prohibitive in small subdivisions and groups of homes,&#8221; says Minesh Patel, vice president of Charles Industries&#8217; OSP Business Unit. &#8220;Charles Fiber Cross-Connect Pedestals are right-sized for these applications, with room for future expansion. By utilizing CFXC and doing away with permits and concrete pad placements, service providers realize a substantial cost savings.&#8221;</p>
<p>CFXC are available in three pedestal diameters and five frame sizes with up to 48 (8&#8243;), 72 (8&#8243;), 96 (10&#8243;), 144 (12&#8243;), or 288 (12&#8243;) fiber connections. Both stake-mount and vault-mount configurations are available. Vault-mount models are ideal for locations that require splice case or slack cable storage at the same location as the cross-connect placement.</p>
<p>CFXC join Charles Fiber Flexibility Point (CFFP) and Charles Fiber Distribution Point (CFDP) Interconnect pedestals in providing service providers a full range of pre-connectorized, above-grade fiber distribution solutions. CFFP Pedestals offer the same design and environmental protection features as CFXC Pedestals, but are intended as a cost-effective alternative to placing Fiber Distribution Hubs in the outside plant. Likewise, CFDP Interconnect Pedestals provide an above-grade alternative to optical interconnect-connect cabinets. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Optametra announces the availability of its OM4105 and OM4106 Coherent Lightwave Signal Analyzers with bit rates to 112 Gb/s (100G DP-QPSK). The higher data rate is also available as an upgrade to those who have already purchased the OM4005 and OM4006 40G analyzers, announced earlier this year at OFC/NFOEC 2009. Both the 40G and 100G versions of the OM4000 series analyzers enable simultaneous measurement of any fiber modulation format, including coherent dual-polarization (DP) QPSK, and subsets such as differential QPSK. </p>
<p>“Optametra’s OM4000-series Analyzers capture the complete electric field of the optical signal; they are universal, and measure everything that can be known about the signal&#8211;within the bandwidth of the digitizer or oscilloscope&#8211;while not taking shortcuts at the expense of losing valuable data,” said Daniel van der Weide, the company‘s VP of Engineering. </p>
<p>Optametra’s software calibrates and processes real-time burst-mode constellation diagram displays, eye-diagram displays, bit-error detection (BER), polarization (Poincaré sphere), and more. The software is the most complete and flexible available today, and upgradable by design. It addresses challenging applications such as polarization scrambling, recirculating loops, and arbitrary (user-defined or PRBS) patterns, which means it is useful for actual transmission experiments, not only for tuning a transmitter. Additionally, Optametra’s Pro-version software option allows customers access to all variables in the analysis via Matlab, giving them an excellent platform for developing and testing proprietary algorithms including CD compensation, PMD compensation, new proprietary modulation schemes, pass-fail criteria, or any idea that can be coded in Matlab. Thus, “The OM4000 series of 100G Coherent Lightwave Signal Analyzers™ are perfectly suited for the R&#038;D Lab, Production Floor, and Final-Test,” said Rob Marsland, President of Optametra. </p>
<p>U.S. Pricing and Availability<br />
Optametra’s OM4105 and OM4106 100G Coherent Lightwave Signal Analyzers™ may be ordered today, with standard lead-times of 12 weeks ARO, depending on configuration and current availability. 100G pricing starts at $137,700 in the U.S. Optametra’s products work with all four-channel 40 Gs/s or faster real-time oscilloscopes, including those from Tektronix, Agilent, and LeCroy, further future-proofing the investment in coherent fiber measurements. </p>
<p>Additional information is available at www.optametra.com, including high-resolution images and video. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>RICHARDSON, TEXAS&#8211;(BUSINESS WIRE)&#8211;</p>
<p>CommScope Enterprise Solutions, a division of CommScope, Inc. (NYSE:CTV), is praising the publication authorization of a new standard for optical fiber suitable for manufacturing OM4 cables used in data center applications and local area networks.</p>
<p>The performance specifications of the Telecommunications Industry Association&#8217;s new TIA-492AAAD standard reflect those of CommScope&#8217;s SYSTIMAX® LazrSPEED® 550—the same visionary fiber solution that has been deployed in local area network and data center applications around the world since 2003. In addition, an International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) subcommittee is revising its multimode fiber standard for its fourth edition to add equivalent specifications.</p>
<p>&#8220;We are extremely pleased that the specifications of the emerging OM4 standards reflect those of our LazrSPEED 550 fiber solution and that those same standards will help guide future network applications standards that shape the data communications industry,&#8221; said Paul Kolesar, principal systems engineer and standards representative, CommScope Enterprise Solutions. &#8220;CommScope&#8217;s offerings are designed to meet and exceed standards years ahead of standardization, providing customers with solutions that support both current and future applications. Choosing a SYSTIMAX offering with LazrSPEED 550 cabling provides confidence in network connectivity through quality, performance, reliability and longer-term applications support to extend the life of the network and thereby protect customers&#8217; cabling investments.&#8221;</p>

<p>LazrSPEED 550 multimode fiber is ideal for new installations as it maximizes the reach and utility of low-cost multimode optical fiber applications from 1 Gbps to 100 Gbps. LazrSPEED 550 expands design possibilities by reallocating the available optical power budget, freeing up power otherwise needed for bandwidth penalties, to maximize support for all the current and emerging multimode Ethernet, Fibre Channel and InfiniBand applications. In recognition of its capabilities, the OM4 standard is now referenced within the draft standards for 40G/100G Ethernet and 16-Gigabit Fibre Channel.</p>
<p>With the setting of the OM4 standard, CommScope continues its history of influential innovation, following in the footsteps of the LazrSPEED 300 solution that provided the blueprint for the OM3 standard published in 2002. For almost a decade LazrSPEED 300 has shaped data center connectivity bolstered by the adoption of OM3 within Ethernet, Fibre Channel and InfiniBand applications.</p>
<p>&#8220;With LazrSPEED 550, CommScope continues its legacy of looking out for the needs of its customers by providing a product that not only provides the highest performance, but also safeguards their IT investment,&#8221; said Luc Adriaenssens, senior vice president, R&#038;D and technology, CommScope Enterprise Solutions. &#8220;When customers implement a solution that becomes compliant with future technology standards, that brings them peace-of-mind that they made the right decision for their data centers, and that&#8217;s a very reassuring feeling to have. Just ask a CommScope customer and you&#8217;ll find those feelings are pretty common.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Calypto Design Systems Inc. has developed what it touts to be the most accurate register-transfer level (RTL) power analysis capability by applying its patented sequential analysis technology.</p>
<p>Used to enable accurate power measurement in its PowerPro Analyzer tool, the technique performs sequential analysis of the entire design, delivering power measurement results that are significantly more accurate than the decade-old RTL power analysis tools in use today.</p>
<p>According to Tom Sandoval, CEO of Calypto, previous tools have been based on combinational analysis which limits the accuracy of switching activity propagation compared to the actual sequential circuit activity.</p>
<p>&#8220;Sequential analysis ensures switching activity propagation estimated by the tool closely correlates with real life circuit activity,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>By dramatically improving RTL power analysis accuracy, he said PowerPro Analyzer will enable designers to finally move away from time-consuming, gate-level power analysis flows.</p>
<p>&#8220;These flows require designers to run complex gate-level simulations in order to provide the power analysis tool with accurate design behavior that emulates real-world functionality,&#8221; said Sandoval. &#8220;Running those same simulations at the RTL level improves efficiency by 10x, often reducing the overall power analysis task time from days to hours.</p>
<p>&#8220;Moreover, RTL-level simulation is part of the standard simulation regression method used by designers to verify their design.&#8221;</p>
<p>The RTL simulation results can be provided to Calypto&#8217;s PowerPro Analyzer without adding to design schedules.</p>
<p>&#8220;The inaccuracy of existing RTL power analysis tools has limited their adoption and forced the industry to continue using complex, schedule-extending, gate-level power analysis techniques,&#8221; said Sandoval.</p>
<p>Where older solutions use simplistic propagation engines that do not correlate with real circuit behavior, he said, Calypto&#8217;s sequential analysis-based propagation engines capture temporal and spatial correlations across registers that simply cannot be taken into account by obsolete, combinational analysis-based solutions.</p>
<p>Because clock trees consume a significant amount of power in a design, he said, understanding how to model a clock tree with a substantial amount of clock gating is critical to accurate RTL power analysis.</p>
<p>Calypto&#8217;s RTL power analysis capabilities have been integrated into a new version of PowerPro Analyzer, which can be used as a standalone tool for RTL power analysis in SoC design flows.</p>
<p>PowerPro Analyzer with block-level power analysis will be available in October and chip-level power analysis will be available in February 2010. The tool will be offered for a list price of $50,000.</p>
<p>PowerPro CG and PowerPro MG, RTL optimization tools based on sequential analysis, each list for $295,000 and include PowerPro Analyzer. PowerPro CG is an automated clock gating power optimization tool that reduces power by up to 60 percent with little or no impact to timing or area.</p>
<p>PowerPro MG is an automated memory power optimization solution that takes advantage of the low-power control options available in today&#8217;s on-chip memories to reduce both dynamic and leakage memory power with little or no impact to timing or area.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wireless standards are inundating the market, placing tremendous demands on the test engineer and on the tools necessary to test these new integrated devices. There are two realities in device manufacturing. First, assembly complexity is inversely proportional to the level of integration. Second, functional test complexity is proportional to the number of features and wireless standards to test.</p>
<p>This challenge is compounded, because RF measurements and tests for a particular standard often require specific firmware personalities or modes of operation for the test instrument. Testing multiple wireless standards on a single device requires either purchasing another RF test instrument for that standard (increasing test costs) or reconfiguring the instrument firmware or mode for the next standard (increasing test time and cost for new firmware).</p>
<p>The solution to these challenges is to take a different approach to the architecture for RF test instruments. The two biggest hurdles in building a software-defined RF test system are the processing power necessary to demodulate, decode and analyze acquired waveforms, and the bandwidth necessary to transfer a large enough waveform from the measurement circuitry to the processing circuitry.</p>
<p>Engineers can overcome these hurdles by using a modular, PC-based architecture with a high-throughput bus interconnecting the measurement and processing circuitry. An example of an ideal software-defined architecture is the rugged, CompactPCI-based PXI platform for test, measurement and control. PXI leverages commercial off-the-shelf computer components, such as the latest Intel processors and large memories, and a PCI-based high-throughput bus that links this controller to the measurement module.</p>
<p>The measurement module uses a modular architecture, incorporating a downconverter unit to transfer a block of frequency spectrum to an IF acquired by a digitizer unit, which then transfers this large waveform to controller memory using the 132Mbps bus in the PXI backplane.</p>
<p>An example of software-defined, modular instrumentation is the development of a MIMO-OFDM system. The combination of MIMO and OFDM lies behind many of the latest wireless and data standards emerging, including 4G mobile cellular communications and 802.11n Wi-Fi data networking, designed to increase the number of subscribers and data throughput on cellphones and computers, respectively.</p>
<p>The Wireless Networking and Communications Group (WNCG) at the University of Texas at Austin studied the characteristics of this system to validate the research and benefits of MIMO-OFDM. The WNCG study involved simulation and full hardware integration components, and took six weeks to complete. This was made possible by the high degree of reuse of MIMO-OFDM software simulations and models in the software used to define the PXI-based modular RF vector signal generators and analyzers from National Instruments.</p>
<p>The result of using a modular, PC-based architecture such as PXI is a universal, software-based RF test system that can adapt to any type of measurement and wireless standard. The system also has the ability to test multiple wireless standards and protocols, and adapt to emerging communication standards.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tektronix Inc. has introduced a line of mixed-signal oscilloscopes that visualize and analyze analog, digital and serial signals with one instrument. The MSO3000 series offers up to four analog and 16 digital channels, 100MHz to 500MHz bandwidth, 5M record length and 2.5GSps analog sample rate for system debug.</p>
<p>Versatility in test solutions to monitor digital, analog and serial data signals is important when performing system-level troubleshooting across a wide range of integrated components, such as microprocessors and microcontrollers, FPGAs, A/Ds, D/As, serial and parallel buses, embedded audio and switch-mode power supplies. At the same time, design engineers are under pressure to keep a tight rein on costs.</p>
<p>Bob Bluhm, VP, value scopes product line at Tektronix said, &#8220;With this latest addition to the Tektronix MSO/DPO Series of bench oscilloscopes, we now provide a full range of performance options combined with a great price point for the majority of engineers who need powerful and easy-to-use instruments to simplify debug of embedded system designs.&#8221;</p>
<p>The 16 digital channels offered by the MSO3000 series are tightly integrated into the oscilloscope&#8217;s user interface, simplifying operation and making it possible to solve mixed signal issues easily. The color-coded waveform display simplifies viewing of digital waveforms, displaying ones in green and zeros in blue. This makes it easy to recognize the logic state of a signal without having to scroll to a transition. Digital waveforms can be grouped and labeled, greatly reducing setup time. MagniVu high speed acquisition provides confidence when making critical timing measurements on digital waveforms with the acquisition of 10,000 points at up to 8.25GSps (121.2ps resolution), providing significantly finer timing resolution and capturing narrower glitches than comparable MSOs on the market.</p>
<p>Speed at every stage<br />
The MSO3000 series provides a comprehensive set of features to speed every stage of debugging a new design. Embedded system designers can easily discover intermittent problems with a 50,000 waveform per second capture rate and intensity-graded digital phosphor display technology. The designer can then capture signal anomalies and glitches with a complete set of triggers, including parallel data and serial packet content. The trigger is applied across all input channels and automatically time correlates all analog, digital and serial signals.</p>
<p>Wave Inspector controls enable automatic search across all analog, digital, serial and parallel data signals for a specific event of interest. Wave Inspector will automatically mark every instance of the event enabling rapid navigation between them. Finally, the designer can quickly analyze signals with 29 automated measurements, advanced waveform math and specialized application support for serial bus analysis, power analysis and video debug.</p>
<p>For serial bus applications, a single signal often includes address, control, data and clock information. This can make isolating events of interest difficult. The MSO/DPO oscilloscopes offer a robust set of tools for debugging serial buses with automatic trigger, decode and search for I2C, SPI, RS- 232/422/485/UART, CAN, LIN, and I2S/LJ/RJ/TDM standards.</p>
<p>Power analysis<br />
Additional application support packages automate power measurements and perform HDTV and custom video analysis. To meet the need for longer battery life devices and for green solutions that consume less power, power-supply designers can now quickly and accurately analyze power quality, switching loss, harmonics, safe operating area, modulation, ripple, and slew rate (di/dt, dv/dt) and comply with national and regional power quality standards. The DPO3PWR power analysis module provides automated, repeatable power measurements with a touch of a button; no external PC or complex software setup is required. The DPO3PWRBND Power Analysis Solution Bundle combines all of the essential tools needed to perform typical power measurement and analysis tasks with savings up to 25 percent.</p>
<p>With the MSO/DPO oscilloscopes&#8217; fast waveform capture rate and intensity-graded signal view, video engineers can now see more video signal detail and access standard features such as IRE and mV graticules, holdoff by fields, video polarity, and an Autoset smart enough to detect video signals. The optional DPO3VID application module provides the industry&#8217;s most complete suite of HDTV and custom (non-standard) video triggers.</p>
<p>All new models are available for purchase and delivery.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Introduction</strong><br />
The Jones matrix (JM) or linear transfer function (TF) of a fiber-coupled component, when measured as a function of frequency, contains all of the information required to predict final component performance (loss, dispersion, polarization effects, etc.). In this white paper we describe a novel interferometric technique for single-scan, high resolution spectral measurements of the TF of an optical component. In addition, we demonstrate mathematically how the TF is obtained from this measurement apparatus. We then show that highly accurate spectral amplitude and phase information can be extracted from the TF in the form of polarization-averaged group delay (GD), polarization mode dispersion (PMD), insertion loss (IL), and polarization dependent loss (PDL). Data is presented demonstrating greater than 100 dB, 80 dB and 60 dB dynamic range for the polarization-averaged IL, GD and PMD measurements, respec- tively. The elimination of the need for multiple wavelength scans in combination with the accurate and sensitive nature of the interferometric measurement technique yields an instrument ideally suited for high resolution metrology of passive optical components for high bit-rate network applications (e.g. tunable dispersion compensators, fiber Bragg gratings, arrayed waveguide gratings, etc.)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>CHATSWORTH, CALIF.&#8211;(BUSINESS WIRE)&#8211;</p>
<p>MRV COMMUNICATIONS, INC. today announced that its Fiber Driver optical multi-service platform delivers a highly energy efficient optical networking solution for carriers when evaluated using the Telecommunications Equipment Energy Efficiency Ratings (TEEER) standard developed by Verizon. MRV is a leading networking company with a full line of packet-optical transport (POTS), carrier Ethernet, 40G networking and out-of-band networking products.</p>
<p>The TEEER score is defined as a direct relationship between the system forwarding capacity and its power consumption, weighted for different operation modes. Verizon&#8217;s calculated TEEER value represents the system energy efficiency rating on a scale from one (least efficient) to 10 (most efficient). More information on the TEEER standard can be found at www.verizonnebs.com/TPRs/VZ-TPR-9207.pdf.</p>
<p>In certain configurations, MRV&#8217;s Fiber Driver platform achieved a score of 9.78, showing the WDM optical transport system to be a power-optimized solution for carriers. The Fiber Driver platform packs up to 600 Gbps in just 3U of rack space. With a power consumption of three to five watts per 10Gbps interface, it consumes only 20% to 30% of the power that competing optical transport systems need.</p>
<p>MRV&#8217;s Fiber Driver product line provides differentiated services including fiber grooming (media conversion, distance extension and signal repeating), converter-based service demarcation, advanced CWDM and DWDM solutions and digital video distribution. The Fiber Driver platform can act as a media converter, a repeater or a WDM transponder with a simple change-out of hot-swappable multi-functional modules. The Fiber Driver provides a wide range of optical transport solutions to enterprise, campus and metro networks with distances of 80-100km.</p>
<p>&#8220;Energy efficiency is a concern for all industries today and a lot of vendors are claiming to be green,&#8221; said Noam Lotan, president and CEO of MRV Communications. &#8220;The beauty of the TEEER standard is that it gives a benchmark that customers can use to compare systems from different vendors in an objective way.&#8221;</p>
<p>Verizon&#8217;s efficiency rating system is part of its energy consumption standards developed in the wake of government initiatives driving carriers toward more environmentally friendly networks. The goal of the standard is to improve energy efficiency in the equipment the company buys by 20% over today&#8217;s networking equipment. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Description</strong><br />
The prospect of automating the fiber connectorization process has always proven to be a difficult endeavor. The primary complexity relates to the inherent variations in the initial end-face condition of the connectorized fiber. Specifically, variations in epoxy bead size and fiber protrusion precludes one from setting fixed machine polishing positions and pressures for uniform material removal.</p>
<p>Typically, a fiber is stripped to be more than ten millimeters longer than the connector ferrule length; bonded to the connector with epoxy; and then cleaved manually to be about 50 to 500 microns above the epoxy bead.</p>
<p>The protruding fiber is then manually de-nubbed using a coarse polishing film. In order to compensate for operator error, epoxy beads tend to be fairly large and fibers are cleaved longer than necessary. The added epoxy size and exposed fiber naturally require excessive manual de-nubbing and polish time, adding labor and consumables cost, without adding value to the end product.</p>
<p>Automated fiber cleaving techniques range from simple mechanical devices to high powered, laser based instruments designed to cut the fiber as close to the ferrule surface as possible. Mechanical cleaving inherently leaves a cleave wedge along with providing very poor length and angle control. Laser based cleavers on the other hand, are expensive and display fiber geometry variations, such as length (typically +/-10 microns), flatness, and surface finish which are significant enough to require additional polishing on separate equipment in order to comply with industry accepted criteria for end-face geometry.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> Deep Photonics, the ultra fast fiber laser company for the semiconductor, electronics and photovoltaic marketplace, announced the opening of a new materials processing applications lab at its corporate headquarters in Corvallis, Oregon. The 1,500 sq. ft. clean room enables Deep Photonics to work closely with OEMs and manufacturers to test material samples and develop processes with Deep&#8217;s picosecond fiber lasers. The lab will demonstrate how ultra fast fiber lasers are a unique and superior processing solution for a wide range of materials, including historically difficult-to-process materials for conventional nanosecond lasers, such as thin films, glasses, dielectrics and metals.</p>
<p>The facility includes state-of-the-art automation and analysis tools for inspection/measurement of processed materials including a linear stage in the clean room provided by Primatics Corporation of Tangent, Oregon. This high-accuracy, high-throughput stage allows Deep Photonics to develop film side scribing for a-Si solar thin films at over 2 meters per second and deliver that process to OEM&#8217;s building systems for the thin film scribing for the solar industry. Customers can access FIB (Focused Ion Beam) images, a profile meter and a variety of optical and electrical measurements of their samples the same day greatly reducing the cycle time for process development.</p>
<p>In the lab, customers also have access to Deep Photonics lasers including the FLP-1064-PPP, FLP-532-PPP and the FLP-355-PPP infrared, visible and ultra violet fiber laser which combines high output power with outstanding stability and reliability needed for demanding laser applications. The lasers feature Picosecond Packet Pulsing (P³) technology, providing a significant innovation in cold ablation of materials. P³ technology delivers extremely accurate depth control with pulse packet energy effective for a variety of materials currently being utilized by the semiconductor, electronics and solar industry. This proprietary pulsing technology provides an optimum combination of precise, efficient material ablation while virtually eliminating the destructive effects due to thermal heating of adjacent material. The lab is well equipped with optics, stages, microscopes and the other tools required to do process development. It is staffed by process engineers and laser scientists with years of experience in laser materials interaction.</p>
<p>&#8220;Deep Photonics&#8217; new laser technology provides advanced, compact, efficient and long life lasers and an alternative to nanosecond laser technology,&#8221; said Joe Lachapelle, founder and CEO of Deep Photonics. &#8220;Our new applications lab brings together our advanced laser technology with the expertise of our industrial customers to process materials more effectively using picosecond fiber laser products. While we are targeting the many known applications for lasers, like dicing, drilling and scribing, we are also learning the potential of ultra fast lasers for many industrial markets. With the opening of our new facility, customers have a means to test and deliver these new applications to the market.&#8221; </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>KOLKATA: Kolkata&#8217;s leading corporate house, the Rs 2,000-crore Emami group, is poised to unveil a Rs 5,500-crore investment plan for its flagship<br />
Emami and group companies. The move is in sync with its plans to become a Rs 6,000-crore group over the next two years.</p>
<p>The group, promoted jointly by R S Agarwal and R S Goenka, joint chairmen of the Emami group, have worked out a detailed investment strategy for group companies . In step with that, the group has earmarked Rs 1,600 crore each for Emami and Emami Biotech, around Rs 700 crore for Emami Paper Mills, around Rs 1,000 crore for Emami Realty and about Rs 600 crore for other group companies including AMRI and Frank Ross.</p>
<p>Incidentally, a mix of debt and internal accruals will be used to finance the projects. &#8220;Following the merger of Zandu Pharmaceutical Works with Emami, we intend to relaunch the Zandu products as well as launch new products in the hair and the skincare segment to boost earnings. These initiatives along with our attempt to streamline the operation of the two companies post merger will require a lot of investment,&#8221; Mr R S Agarwal told ET.</p>
<p>Similarly, the group plans for Emami Biotech will entail investments in brand building exercise. The Rs 1,600 crore outlay for the company includes expansion of the existing Haldia unit, apart from the recently announced plans to set up two greenfield edible and non edible oil refineries in India as well as take up plantation of bio fuel crops (jatropha) and other edible &#038; non edible oil seeds in Ethiopia.</p>
<p>According to R S Goenka, Emami Paper Mills is looking to enhance the writing, printing , newsprint and coated papers capacity of the Balasore unit (Orissa) by one lakh tonne per annum to 2,50,000 tonnes per annum over the next two years for an estimated investment of Rs 700 crore. The proposed Rs 2,200 crore greenfield Midnapore project may take at least six years to complete.</p>
<p>Emami Realty too has ambitious plans with the company planning to develop at least two residential projects in Hyderabad, one in Coimbatore, one in Mumbai and more than one in Kolkata. Plans for AMRI chain of hospitals include a 300-bed hospital in Bhubaneswar, a 300-bed women and child hospital in Kolkata and expansion of the existing Dhakuria and Salt Lake hospitals by 7 beds each, respectively. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tektronix Inc. has introduced a line of mixed-signal oscilloscopes that visualize and analyze analog, digital and serial signals with one instrument. The MSO3000 series offers up to four analog and 16 digital channels, 100MHz to 500MHz bandwidth, 5M record length and 2.5GSps analog sample rate for system debug.</p>
<p>Versatility in test solutions to monitor digital, analog and serial data signals is important when performing system-level troubleshooting across a wide range of integrated components, such as microprocessors and microcontrollers, FPGAs, A/Ds, D/As, serial and parallel buses, embedded audio and switch-mode power supplies. At the same time, design engineers are under pressure to keep a tight rein on costs.</p>
<p>Bob Bluhm, VP, value scopes product line at Tektronix said, &#8220;With this latest addition to the Tektronix MSO/DPO Series of bench oscilloscopes, we now provide a full range of performance options combined with a great price point for the majority of engineers who need powerful and easy-to-use instruments to simplify debug of embedded system designs.&#8221;</p>
<p>The 16 digital channels offered by the MSO3000 series are tightly integrated into the oscilloscope&#8217;s user interface, simplifying operation and making it possible to solve mixed signal issues easily. The color-coded waveform display simplifies viewing of digital waveforms, displaying ones in green and zeros in blue. This makes it easy to recognize the logic state of a signal without having to scroll to a transition. Digital waveforms can be grouped and labeled, greatly reducing setup time. MagniVu high speed acquisition provides confidence when making critical timing measurements on digital waveforms with the acquisition of 10,000 points at up to 8.25GSps (121.2ps resolution), providing significantly finer timing resolution and capturing narrower glitches than comparable MSOs on the market.</p>
<p>Speed at every stage<br />
The MSO3000 series provides a comprehensive set of features to speed every stage of debugging a new design. Embedded system designers can easily discover intermittent problems with a 50,000 waveform per second capture rate and intensity-graded digital phosphor display technology. The designer can then capture signal anomalies and glitches with a complete set of triggers, including parallel data and serial packet content. The trigger is applied across all input channels and automatically time correlates all analog, digital and serial signals.</p>
<p>Wave Inspector controls enable automatic search across all analog, digital, serial and parallel data signals for a specific event of interest. Wave Inspector will automatically mark every instance of the event enabling rapid navigation between them. Finally, the designer can quickly analyze signals with 29 automated measurements, advanced waveform math and specialized application support for serial bus analysis, power analysis and video debug.</p>
<p>For serial bus applications, a single signal often includes address, control, data and clock information. This can make isolating events of interest difficult. The MSO/DPO oscilloscopes offer a robust set of tools for debugging serial buses with automatic trigger, decode and search for I2C, SPI, RS- 232/422/485/UART, CAN, LIN, and I2S/LJ/RJ/TDM standards.</p>
<p>Power analysis<br />
Additional application support packages automate power measurements and perform HDTV and custom video analysis. To meet the need for longer battery life devices and for green solutions that consume less power, power-supply designers can now quickly and accurately analyze power quality, switching loss, harmonics, safe operating area, modulation, ripple, and slew rate (di/dt, dv/dt) and comply with national and regional power quality standards. The DPO3PWR power analysis module provides automated, repeatable power measurements with a touch of a button; no external PC or complex software setup is required. The DPO3PWRBND Power Analysis Solution Bundle combines all of the essential tools needed to perform typical power measurement and analysis tasks with savings up to 25 percent.</p>
<p>With the MSO/DPO oscilloscopes&#8217; fast waveform capture rate and intensity-graded signal view, video engineers can now see more video signal detail and access standard features such as IRE and mV graticules, holdoff by fields, video polarity, and an Autoset smart enough to detect video signals. The optional DPO3VID application module provides the industry&#8217;s most complete suite of HDTV and custom (non-standard) video triggers.</p>
<p>All new models are available for purchase and delivery.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Oscilloscope Laboratories announced today that it has acquired North America distribution rights to “I’m Not There” screenwriter Oren Moverman’s directorial debut, “The Messenger,” co-written by Moverman and Alessandro Camon. The film had its world premiere at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival and won the Silver Bear award for Best Screenplay and the Peace Film Award at the 2009 Berlinale Film Festival. Oscilloscope will release the film in theaters in November 2009, noting that they will do so “in connection with awards campaigns for actors Ben Foster, Woody Harrelson, Samantha Morton, director Oren Moverman and co-writer Alessandro Camon.”</p>
<p>“‘The Messenger’ was made by a group of dedicated professionals who brought a lot of love and passion to it,” Oren Moverman said in a statement. “That’s exactly what Oscilloscope is now infusing in droves into the life of this film—dedication, professionalism, and a lot of heart.  We couldn’t be happier with this union and we are certain we’ve found the right combination.”</p>
<p>The film stars Foster stars as Will Montgomery, a U.S. Army officer who has just returned home from a tour in Iraq and is assigned to the Army’s Casualty Notification service. Partnered with fellow officer Tony Stone (Harrelson) to bear the bad news to the loved ones of fallen soldiers, Will faces the challenge of completing his mission while seeking to find comfort and healing back on the home front. When he finds himself drawn to Olivia (Morton), to whom he has just delivered the news of her husband’s death, Will’s emotional detachment begins to dissolve.</p>
<p>“This is an amazing directorial debut,” Adam Yauch, head of Oscilloscope Laboratories said in a statement.  “Oren has created a film that is so sincere that I believe war protesters, as well as those who are in the military, will identify with it.  Both Woody and Ben are incredible, giving performances that blew me away.”</p>
<p>The film was produced by Lawrence Inglee, Mark Gordon and Zach Miller, and was financed by Omnilab Media, Sherezade Films and BZ Entertainment. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>All serial data streams and clocks have jitter (the difference between the arrival of an edge and the expected time of arrival). The jitter you see on an oscilloscope is a function of the signal&#8217;s timing jitter and amplitude noise, plus the jitter and noise that the oscilloscope adds to the signal.<br />
<img alt="" src="http://www.tmworld.com/articles/images/TMW/20090801/TMW09_08Dig_Jttr_350px.jpg" class="alignright" width="350" height="263" /><br />
The jitter that an oscilloscope adds to the signal you see (call it display jitter) is a combination of the instrument&#8217;s trigger noise and trigger jitter. Noise on an input signal produces a timing error in the displayed signal. If, at the start of a rising edge, noise has pulled a signal&#8217;s amplitude low, the rising signal will cross a threshold point later than it would in a noise-free signal.</p>
<p>Trigger noise will also add jitter because it affects the point where an edge crosses the trigger level. The amount that trigger noise contributes to display jitter depends on the input signal&#8217;s slew rate. The greater the slew rate (faster rise or fall time), the less display jitter you will see.</p>
<p>Oscilloscopes have traditionally measured display jitter (but called it trigger jitter) using a histogram (figure). But in some oscilloscopes, hardware has improved to where trigger noise dominates display jitter, making the trigger jitter component negligible. In addition, some oscilloscopes can mathematically remove most of the instrument&#8217;s display jitter, producing a waveform that appears to have no noise or jitter at the trigger point.</p>
<p>Because of those factors, the traditional measurement won&#8217;t work. You can, though, use a different technique to measure an oscilloscope&#8217;s display jitter. It involves using a sine wave and employing frequency-domain techniques. To learn how the technique works and how to apply it, download the paper “The evolution of trigger jitter” by Steve Draving, hardware engineer at Agilent Technologies.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) &#8211; Sony Pictures Classics has boarded Zhang Yimou&#8217;s Chinese-language remake of the Coen Brothers&#8217; &#8220;Blood Simple,&#8221; signing on to produce the film and acquiring distribution rights in North America, Latin America, Australia and New Zealand.</p>
<p>Zhang is the Chinese auteur known for such films as &#8220;Hero,&#8221; &#8220;House of Flying Daggers&#8221; and &#8220;Raise the Red Lantern.&#8221; He won a Peabody Award for his designing of the opening and closing ceremonies at the Beijing Olympics last year. Specialty banner SPC has released 10 of his films.</p>
<p>The announcement kicked off a busy day of dealmaking in the indie world, which also saw Magnolia acquire North American rights to the late Adrienne Shelly&#8217;s black comedy &#8220;Serious Moonlight&#8221; and Oscilloscope buying the Danish film &#8220;Terribly Happy,&#8221; which has drawn comparisons to &#8220;Blood Simple.&#8221;</p>
<p>Cheryl Hines&#8217; directorial debut based on Shelly&#8217;s script, &#8220;Moonlight&#8221; centers on a woman who holds her husband hostage until he promises to love her forever. Meg Ryan and Timothy Hutton star. Magnolia said it will release it on demand about a month ahead of a December theatrical release.</p>
<p>And Oscilloscope announced that it has picked up North American rights to &#8220;Happy,&#8221; Henrik Ruben Genz&#8217;s dark and at times bloody tale about a Cophenhagen police officer who moves to a small town only to get involved with a married woman. Comparing the movie to &#8220;Blood Simple,&#8221; Oscilloscope said the pic contains a &#8220;macabre vision of the darkest depths to which people will go to achieve a sense of security and belonging.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Warner Bros. is positioning itself to be a major digital distributor of independent movies through cable video-on-demand services worldwide.</p>
<p>The studio has signed a handful of deals with indie companies including Gravitas Ventures and Image Entertainment to put out feature films and documentaries on cable, satellite and telco VOD systems across the U.S. and in other territories where Warner distributes digital movies.</p>
<p>Warner Bros. additionally said it has deals with Oscilloscope Laboratories, Wolfe Video, First Look Studios, Full Moon Entertainment, Marvista Entertainment and Lantern Lane Entertainment and is continuing to sign more.</p>
<p>Films included under the deal include Oscilloscope&#8217;s &#8220;Wendy and Lucy,&#8221; out earlier this summer on DVD; Image&#8217;s &#8220;Management,&#8221; starring Jennifer Aniston; First Look&#8217;s TV movie &#8220;Labor Pains,&#8221; with Lindsay Lohan; Full Moon horror pic &#8220;Puppet Master: The Legacy&#8221;; Image&#8217;s gritty &#8220;Powder Blue,&#8221; with Jessica Biel and Ray Liotta; and Lantern Lane documentary &#8220;Valentino: The Last Emperor.&#8221;</p>
<p>The move provides independent film companies access to new parts of the VOD business with Warner&#8217;s promotional muscle and also broadens the range of content available through cable VOD.</p>
<p>&#8220;This is a way just to grow the business,&#8221; said Thomas Gewecke, president of Warner Bros. Digital Distribution.</p>
<p>Gewecke said the studio, already a leading distributor of digital content with the Warner library, was motivated by a growing demand for VOD content.</p>
<p>Video-on-demand and digital sales for the first half of the year came in at $968 million, according to nonprofit trade consortium DEG: The Digital Entertainment Group. That is still relatively small compared with the $5燽illion in sales logged by DVD and Blu-ray in the same period, but VOD and digital sales are growing. Gewecke said the digital and VOD companies through which Warner distributes its films are eager to offer viewers more content, which in turn could lure in even more viewers.</p>
<p>Warner will handle everything from encoding and digitizing films to promoting and marketing them to consumers as well as tracking sales &#8212; all services many smaller companies don&#8217;t have the infrastructure to handle. Gewecke said the studio will leverage its own infrastructure to get smaller films more exposure.</p>
<p>While Warner is signing a broad range of distribution deals, the studio is being choosy about which films it agrees to distribute. Gewecke said it&#8217;s all dependent on what the studio thinks will rent and sell well.</p>
<p>Some of the independents for which the studio acts as a distributor are also choosing to release films simultaneously on VOD and DVD, following Warner&#8217;s lead.</p>
<p>Warner has been the most aggressive studio in putting films out on VOD, tightening the standard 30-day window between a pic&#8217;s DVD release and its VOD debut for most of its films in an effort to boost digital revenues. Warner has said tests with Comcast and Time Warner Cable have shown that simultaneous releases boost VOD sales without cutting into DVD sales. It does have a slightly negative impact on DVD rentals, but the studio makes better margins on VOD rentals.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> If you’re interested in the nuts and bolts about TV electronics (like, how brightness is defined and why the sharpness control does not really sharpen the picture) there are few better sources than the Digital Video Essentials HD Basics calibration disc.</p>
<p>Created by a well-known television consultant, Joe Kane, Digital Video Essentials not only helps TV set owners calibrate their displays, but explains the theory behind the science in intricate detail for the lay person.</p>
<p>But for those consumers who just want to get the best picture possible and don’t really care to know why what they’re doing works, take a look at the $25 Spears and Munsil High Definition Benchmark: Blu-ray Edition calibration disc.</p>
<p>Both calibration tools provide all the necessary test patterns to theoretically get the best possible picture from your HD display, but the Spears and Munsil tool is easier for amateurs to navigate. The top menu gives you a simple but not very visually exciting list of the available test patterns. Click on one and it appears in an endless loop, giving the user the impression that it’s actually paused.</p>
<p>Click on the upper part of your Blu-ray player’s remote wheel and a slide explaining the purpose of the pattern and how to set it appears. Click the down part of the remote wheel and the slide disappears, allowing you to make changes.</p>
<p>Some additional information behind the disc’s approach is available on the company’s Web site, and Spears and Munsil promise to make more available in the future.</p>
<p>Curiously, the two discs did not provide the same results. Adjusting the PLUGE pattern, a tool that sets the optimal black level of the display by adjusting the set’s brightness control, required me to lower the level more using the Spears and Munsil disc than Digital Video Essentials. Other controls also gave me similarly varying results.</p>
<p>Which proves that, to get the best picture, you can’t simply rely on scientific tools alone. While certain settings achieved with calibration discs may prove to be technically correct, watching TV is not like viewing an oscilloscope. Human emotion and preferences are also part of the equation.</p>
<p>The bottom line: by all means use a calibration disc to tweak your set. But if you don’t like the results, change them to fit your tastes.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Montana State University computer engineering students will soon have the ability to control real laboratory equipment from the convenience and comfort of their home computers, thanks to a $148,000 grant from the National Science Foundation.</p>
<p>The two-year grant will help the MSU College of Engineering determine whether students learn from Web-based laboratory courses as effectively as they do from hands-on courses, said the grant&#8217;s principal investigator, computer engineering assistant professor Brock LaMeres.</p>
<p>In addition, LaMeres&#8217; research could one day lead to more distance learning options for students at other Montana colleges and even high schools by providing remote access to advanced scientific equipment.</p>
<p>&#8220;All of our engineering classes have a major laboratory component to reinforce the classroom concepts,&#8221; he said. &#8220;But now students are wanting more online classes.&#8221;</p>
<p>Online courses tend to be more convenient for students, more popular and less expensive to operate, LaMeres said. But engineering has struggled to deliver online offerings because so much of the field requires hands-on work with machines and other instruments.</p>
<p>Engineering programs across the country have tried to overcome this difficulty by distributing &#8220;lab kits&#8221; or making computer simulations available for online courses. MSU is one of the first universities in the country to make it possible for students to control real equipment remotely using their computers, LaMeres said.</p>
<p>&#8220;In theory, it&#8217;s the same experience, but you&#8217;re not physically located in front of the instrument,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>LaMeres will use the grant money to buy four to eight devices called logic analyzers &#8212; instruments that allow students to see and measure data moving between a computer microprocessor and memory chips. The devices cost about $10,000 each and can be controlled remotely using Web-based software.</p>
<p>Then, over the course of two academic years, LaMeres will modify an existing microprocessor course and assess how well his students learn using the logic analyzers both in-person and online.</p>
<p>&#8220;One of the results might be that they don&#8217;t understand the material if the equipment is not right there in front of them, and we need to know that,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>Comparing a hands-on version of a course with an online version is fairly unique, said Carolyn Plumb, director of educational innovation and strategic projects for the College of Engineering. Plumb is co-principal investigator on the NSF grant and will help assess student learning in LaMeres&#8217; microprocessor course.</p>
<p>&#8220;The College of Engineering would like to provide some quality educational experiences for students at a distance,&#8221; she said. &#8220;Any research that can compare the distance learning experience with the face-to-face experience is going to be helpful.&#8221;</p>
<p>While student demand is the main motivation for the pilot courses, LaMeres said another reason for the research is to eventually help students at other Montana schools.</p>
<p>LaMeres envisions that students at community colleges or high schools could arrange Web access to the equipment at MSU. That would provide those students with valuable laboratory experience and save the schools travel money.</p>
<p>Plus, being able to keep pace with MSU courses will help students seeking to transfer into MSU engineering programs, he said.</p>
<p>LaMeres noted that online is not an option for all engineering courses and that the Web will never completely replace hands-on experiments.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s well-suited for what we&#8217;re trying to do: digital electronics,&#8221; he said. &#8220;But if it&#8217;s successful, we&#8217;re hoping we could deploy this throughout our curriculum.&#8221;</p>
<p>The grant, which was awarded July 1, comes from the NSF&#8217;s Course Curriculum and Laboratory Improvement program. The program helps improve undergraduate education by creating and spreading learning materials and teaching strategies that reflect scientific advances and modern theories about teaching and learning.</p>

<p>The upstart film distributor headed by Adam Yauch, of the Beastie Boys, has picked up North American rights to Oren Moverman&#8217;s directorial debut, &#8220;The Messenger,&#8221; which premiered this year at the Sundance Film Festival.</p>
<p>The company will release the movie theatrically in November.</p>
<p>&#8220;Messenger&#8221; stars Ben Foster as a young soldier recently back from Iraq who is assigned to the Army&#8217;s Casualty Notification Service, which travels the country informing families that a loved one has been killed overseas.</p>
<p>Woody Harrelson co-stars as Foster&#8217;s gruff, more experienced partner, and Samantha Morton plays a woman whose husband recently was killed in combat and to whom Foster is attracted.</p>
<p>Moverman wrote the script with Alessandro Camon.</p>
<p>The movie has received a number of good notices on the festival circuit, picking up two prizes in February in Berlin. A number of buyers were interested during and right after Sundance, but the lukewarm box-office record of war-themed dramas gave them pause.</p>
<p>The filmmakers, however, said they didn&#8217;t necessarily see &#8220;Messenger&#8221; as a straight Iraq tale.  Continued&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It’s business as usual at Oscilloscope Laboratories, Beastie Boy Adam Yauch’s upstart film company.  In the wake of today’s news that the Beastie Boys are canceling upcoming concert appearances and postponing the release of their new album, Oscilloscope reiterated its committment to film distribution despite a temporary setback for company founder Yauch.</p>
<p>In a YouTube video on his band’s website, Adam Yauch today announced that he has a cancerous tumor in his left parotid (salivary) gland. His upcoming cancer treatment is forcing the band to change some plans, but he reiterated today that he’ll still be spending a lot of time focusing on film.</p>
<p>“This will be a good opportunity to dig through that pile of screeners,” Yauch said, in a statment sent to indieWIRE this afternoon. “Maybe I’ll find a few gems.”</p>
<p>The active company, founded last year and headed up by David Fenkel, has been busy of late. O-scope recently announced the acquisition of Oren Moverman’s directorial debut and also launched an exclusive distribution agreement with Warner Bros. Digital Distribution to bring its films to VOD and download-to-own across all platforms including cable, satellite, digital and wireless. </p>
<p>“I just need to take a little time to get this in check, and then we’ll release the record and play some shows,” Yauch said today, in a statement. “It’s a pain in the neck (sorry, had to say it) because I was really looking forward to playing these shows, but the doctors have made it clear that this is not the kind of thing that can be put aside to deal with later.” </p>
<p>Beastie fans will be particularly happy to hear that the cancer is not in a location that will affect Yauch’s vocal chords (and indieWIRE wishes Yauch a rapid recovery).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>“We went out to breakfast with these cats,” Adam Yauch said in a statement regarding Oscilloscope Laboratories’s new deal with Warner Brothers Digital Distribution, “had a good time hanging out shooting the shit.. so I said &#8211; what the hell, they seem like they know what they’re doing. Let’s do this.”</p>
<p>And with that, Oscilloscope Laboratories has signed an exclusive distribution agreement with Warner Bros. Digital Distribution (WBDD) to bring Oscilloscope’s films to Video-On-Demand (VOD) and download-to-own across all platforms including cable, satellite, digital and wireless.  Oscilloscope’s catalog will debut on these platforms at the conclusion of each film’s theatrical run and, with the appropriate films, day and date with theatrical.</p>
<p>Through this relationship, Oscilloscope said it will continue to have the flexibility to execute national theatrical campaigns for all of its films, yet “maximize these emerging distribution channels at optimal times, including offering its content day-and-date on VOD, and potentially in the future before its DVD street date.”</p>
<p>The agreement kicked off with Oscilloscope’s “Wendy and Lucy,”  which was released May 5 on DVD and debuted day and date on VOD and digital platforms.  It was carried by all major distributors including Comcast, Time Warner Cable, iTunes and Amazon Video On Demand.</p>
<p>This summer WBDD will work with O-Scope to release “The Garden,” “Scott Walker: 30 Century Man,” “Treeless Mountain,” “Frontrunners,” and “Dear Zachary: A Letter To a Son About His Father.” </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Speeds RTL-to-GDSII Turnaround Time Through Look-ahead Constraint Analysis</p>
<p>MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., July 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ &#8212; Synopsys, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNPS), a world leader in software and IP for semiconductor design, verification and manufacturing, today introduced Galaxy(TM) Constraint Analyzer, a new tool which improves designer productivity through look-ahead constraint analysis technology tuned for the Synopsys Galaxy Implementation Platform. The Galaxy Constraint Analyzer is an intuitive tool that enables designers to quickly assess the correctness and consistency of timing constraints. Correctness and consistency lead to more efficient runtimes in Synopsys&#8217; Design Compiler(R) synthesis and IC Compiler physical implementation tools. The Galaxy Constraint Analyzer features unique constraint debug capabilities to help designers eliminate long &#8220;trial-and-error iterations&#8221; during implementation, reducing design cost as a result of more predictable schedules all the way to full-chip signoff.</p>
<p>&#8220;Our complex SoC designs have a large number of clocks that require an intricate set of timing constraint definitions,&#8221; said Hitoshi Sugihara, department manager of the DFM &#038; Digital EDA Technology Development Dept., Design Technology Div., Renesas Technology Corp. &#8220;Making sure that our design engineers start with and hand-off a high-quality set of constraint files significantly lowers risk to our design schedules. Using the Galaxy Constraint Analyzer enabled us to find constraint issues that we could not have found otherwise, saving us significant time and effort. We plan to incorporate the Galaxy Constraint Analyzer into our standard design flow that includes Design Compiler and IC Compiler.&#8221;</p>
<p>The rapid increase in design size and complexity, as well as the widespread reuse of intellectual property (IP) design blocks, has lead to a major increase in the size and complexity of timing constraint specification files. Ensuring high-quality timing constraints is paramount to efficient design implementation, especially during handoffs between teams. Incomplete, inconsistent or conflicting constraints can cause optimization and implementation tools to run ineffectively or to never converge. To address this challenge, the Galaxy Constraint Analyzer tool provides an extensive set of rule checks designed to maximize the efficiency of Design Compiler synthesis and IC Compiler physical implementation. In addition, Galaxy Constraint Analyzer uses technology based on Synopsys&#8217; golden PrimeTime(R) timing engine to ensure correct interpretation and propagation of constraints. This gives designers a signoff-correlated view of the constraints ahead of each step of the design implementation process. Galaxy Constraint Analyzer&#8217;s ability to deliver comprehensive constraint analysis on 10-million-gate designs in a matter of minutes, combined with a unique set of interactive analysis and debug capabilities, helps designers quickly identify and fix constraint issues within hours versus days.</p>
<p>&#8220;Constraint analysis is becoming a crucial step to ensure an efficient design implementation process,&#8221; said Robert Hoogenstryd, director of marketing for design analysis and signoff at Synopsys. &#8220;However, in order for a constraint analysis tool to be effective, it has to interpret and analyze constraint specifications in a manner that is consistent and correlated with signoff. We built the Galaxy Constraint Analyzer using technology based on the PrimeTime golden timing engine to help designers produce the highest quality constraints for the Galaxy Implementation Platform.&#8221;</p>

Measure things an analog oscilloscope cannot even see !<br />
<strong>BitScope DSO</strong> is much more than just oscilloscope software for your PC.<br />
<img alt="" src="http://www.bitscope.com/software/dso/26.jpg" title="BitScope DSO" class="alignnone" width="300" height="235" /><br />
It provides a full range of test instruments in one easy to use software package.</p>
<p>Integrated functions include:</p>
<p>    * Digital Storage Oscilloscope<br />
    * Mixed Signal Oscilloscope<br />
    * Spectrum Analyzer<br />
    * Logic Analyzer<br />
    * Data Recorder<br />
    * Networking</p>
<p>DSO takes full advantage of BitScope&#8217;s powerful mixed mode waveform and logic data capture capability.</p>
<p>And in BitScope models that support it, DSO adds arbitrary waveform generation (AWG) networked access for remote measurement and data acquisition as well as offline captured waveform replay and multiscope control, all accessed from the one PC software application.<br />
<strong><br />
Fast and intuitive.</strong><br />
BitScope DSO is PC software but it works like a test instrument instead of a word processor.<br />
<img alt="" src="http://www.bitscope.com/software/dso/25.png" title="BitScope DSO is PC software but it works like a test instrument instead of a word processor." class="alignnone" width="203" height="188" /><br />
Control panels surround its large display in a single window providing instant access to all the parameters. There&#8217;s no need to move overlapping windows or dig through nested menus to find the function you need.</p>
<p>Most parameters may be changed by simply clicking a button or the parameter display itself.</p>
<p>Sometimes it is necessary to select from multiple values or choose from several options so right-clicking some buttons and parameters pops up context menus for fast selection.</p>
<p>For example the display frame rate on the REPEAT button.</p>
<p>DSO dynamically redraws its display using high resolution images of captured waveforms, logic and spectra directly from BitScope&#8217;s data buffers, and all in real-time.</p>
<p>Whether it&#8217;s deep one-shot mixed mode captures or dynamic analog waveform displays, DSO presents the available data immediately. And through the use of advanced DSP and data compression techniques it is usually possible to achieve display frame rates of up 50 Hz.</p>
<p><strong>High Bandwidth Oscilloscope</strong><br />
DSO makes maximum use of BitScope&#8217;s high speed deep buffer capture engine.<br />
<img alt="" src="http://www.bitscope.com/software/dso/13.jpg" title="DSO makes maximum use of BitScopes high speed deep buffer capture engine. " class="alignnone" width="256" height="209" /><br />
Powerful signal processing and waveform rendering mean you see the full picture, no jaggies, aliases or missing details.</p>
<p>Because every frame is captured at full speed you can literally see any high frequency noise, artefacts or other distortion that may be present, just like the best high bandwidth analog scopes.</p>
<p>And because every frame is up to full capture buffer, you can zoom in to see the finest details, often with no interpolation or data recapture.</p>
<p>Naturally DSO supports high resolution mixed signal and logic data displays as well.</p>
<p>In these modes you can set the sample rate explicitly and capture a full buffer allowing you to scroll and view deep captures in every detail. </p>
<p><strong>Powerful Spectrum Analyzer</strong><br />
DSO includes a built-in spectrum analyzer to see full waveform spectra at the click of a button!<br />
<img alt="" src="http://www.bitscope.com/software/dso/32.jpg" title="DSO includes a built-in spectrum analyzer to see full waveform spectra at the click of a button!" class="alignnone" width="256" height="199" /><br />
Being fully integrated, there are no complicated settings to adjust. The spectrum analyzer adapts automatically to the current DSO timebase, scale, volts/div and screen size to give you the optimum resolution power and/or phase spectrum for the waveforms currently on-screen.</p>
<p>You can even see both waveforms and spectra on screen simultaneously, updating live from analog inputs or scroll through a one-shot capture to view the spectrum at different points in the buffer.</p>
<p>The analyzer uses a variable size windowed DFT processing engine so it works just fine for periodic and one-shot waveforms.</p>
<p>Depending your settings and your BitScope you can view spectra from DC to beyond 100 MHz!</p>
<p>And if you need to make precise time, frequency, magnitude or phase measurements, adjustable cursors work with the spectrum analyzer just they do with all the other DSO virtual instruments.Windows or Linux, it&#8217;s your choice !</p>
<p>Most people use Windows, but many students and professionals in science, research, engineering, and education are now embracing Linux as their workstation of choice.<br />
DSO is Linux Compatible</p>
<p>DSO is Linux Compatible</p>
<p>DSO was built using cross platform tools so it&#8217;s compatible with both.</p>
<p>The features and version release dates are always the same.</p>
<p>If Linux is your preference, you don&#8217;t need to worry about &#8220;lagging behind Windows&#8221;. You get the same high performance software, the same look-and-feel and the same features running Linux because it&#8217;s really one and the same application underneath.<br />
Virtual Instrument Software</p>
<p>In fact the DSO is actually a set of integrated Virtual Instruments with a common graphical user interface that does not directly rely on the graphics provided by Windows or Linux.</p>
<p>Instead each instrument has its own data handlers to pass waveforms from BitScope to its own signal processing for display via a shared internal waveform and data display engine.</p>
<p>In this way DSO can exploit BitScope&#8217;s Virtual Machine Architecture to accelerate acquisition, optimize communications and process much of the data in BitScope itself and the end result is an integrated application that shows you exactly what you need to see from within your own familiar Windows or Linux PC environment.</p>
<p>And because it&#8217;s a PC program, updates with new instruments are just a download away.</p>
<p>Check the release notes for information about updates.</p>
<p>You can Test Drive BitScope DSO, free of charge.<br />
Requirements and Compatibility</p>
<p>BitScope DSO runs on most x86 compatible PCs under Windows (98 to Vista) or Linux.</p>
<p>For satisfactory performance you will need a 400 MHz PII class CPU or better and 32 MB RAM.<br />
Almost all new PCs and notebooks available these days are more than adequate.</p>
<p>Installation is not required (eg, you can run it from removable media) but it is recommended.</p>
<p>BitScope DSO is compatible with all BS50, BS100, BS3xx and BS4xx series BitScopes.</p>
<p>Any original BitScope that has been upgraded is also compatible.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A spectrum analyzer or spectral analyzer is a device used to examine the spectral composition of some electrical, acoustic, or optical waveform. It may also measure the power spectrum.</p>
<p>There are analog and digital spectrum analyzers:</p>
<p>    * An analog spectrum analyzer uses either a variable band-pass filter whose mid-frequency is automatically tuned (shifted, swept) through the range of frequencies of which the spectrum is to be measured or a superheterodyne receiver where the local oscillator is swept through a range of frequencies.<br />
    * A digital spectrum analyzer computes the discrete Fourier transform (DFT), a mathematical process that transforms a waveform into the components of its frequency spectrum.</p>
<p>Some spectrum analyzers (such as &#8220;real-time spectrum analyzers&#8221;) use a hybrid technique where the incoming signal is first down-converted to a lower frequency using superheterodyne techniques and then analyzed using fast fourier transformation (FFT) techniques.<br />
<strong><br />
Operation</strong><br />
Usually, a spectrum analyzer displays a power spectrum over a given frequency range, changing the display as the properties of the signal change. There is a trade-off between how quickly the display can be updated and the frequency resolution, which is for example relevant for distinguishing frequency components that are close together. With a digital spectrum analyzer, the frequency resolution is Δν = 1 / T, the inverse of the time T over which the waveform is measured and Fourier transformed. With an analog spectrum analyzer, it is dependent on the bandwidth setting of the bandpass filter. However, an analog spectrum analyzer will not produce meaningful results if the filter bandwidth (in Hz) is smaller than the square root of the sweep speed (in Hz/s), which means that an analog spectrum analyzer can never beat a digital one in terms of frequency resolution for a given acquisition time. Choosing a wider bandpass filter will improve the signal-to-noise ratio at the expense of a decreased frequency resolution.</p>
<p>With Fourier transform analysis in a digital spectrum analyzer, it is necessary to sample the input signal with a sampling frequency νs that is at least twice the highest frequency that is present in the signal, due to the Nyquist limit. A Fourier transform will then produce a spectrum containing all frequencies from zero to νs / 2. This can place considerable demands on the required analog-to-digital converter and processing power for the Fourier transform. Often, one is only interested in a narrow frequency range, for example between 88 and 108 MHz, which would require at least a sampling frequency of 216 MHz, not counting the low-pass anti-aliasing filter. In such cases, it can be more economic to first use a superheterodyne receiver to transform the signal to a lower range, such as 8 to 28 MHz, and then sample the signal at 56 MHz. This is how an analog-digital-hybrid spectrum analyzer works.</p>
<p>For use with very weak signals, a pre-amplifier can be used, although harmonic and intermodulation distortion may lead to the creation of new frequency components that were not present in the original signal. A new method, without using a high local oscillator (LO) (that usually produces a high-frequency signal close to the signal) is used on the latest analyzer generation like Aaronia´s Spectran series. The advantage of this new method is a very low noise floor near the physical thermal noise limit of -174 dBm.<br />
<strong><br />
Acoustic uses</strong><br />
In acoustics, a spectrograph converts a sound wave into a sound spectrogram. The first acoustic spectrograph was developed during World War II at Bell Telephone Laboratories, and was widely used in speech science, acoustic phonetics and audiology research, before eventually being superseded by digital signal processing techniques.</p>
<p><strong>RF uses</strong><br />
Spectrum analyzers are widely used to measure the frequency response, noise and distortion characteristics of all kinds of RF circuitry, by comparing the input and output spectra.</p>
<p>In telecommunications, spectrum analyzers are used to determine occupied bandwidth and track interference sources. Cellplanners use this equipment to determine interference sources in the GSM/TETRA and UMTS technology.</p>
<p>In EMC testing, spectrum analyzers may be used to characterise test signals and to measure the response of the equipment under test.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The oscilloscope is basically a graph-displaying device &#8211; it draws a graph of an electrical signal. In most applications the graph shows how signals change over time: the vertical (Y) axis represents voltage and the horizontal (X) axis represents time. The intensity or brightness of the display is sometimes called the Z axis. (See Figure 1.) This simple graph can tell you many things about a signal. Here are a few:</p>
<p>    * You can determine the time and voltage values of a signal.<br />
    * You can calculate the frequency of an oscillating signal.<br />
    * You can see the &#8220;moving parts&#8221; of a circuit represented by the signal.<br />
    * You can tell if a malfunctioning component is distorting the signal.<br />
    * You can find out how much of a signal is direct current (DC) or alternating current (AC).<br />
    * You can tell how much of the signal is noise and whether the noise is changing with time.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>AirHORN isn&#8217;t a site survey tool in the sense of the other products reviewed here; rather, it&#8217;s signal generator packaged as a USB dongle with, in the model we tested, an external antenna. </p>
<p>It can be programmed to output a signal with essentially constant amplitude in a particular 802.11b/g Wi-Fi channel (or scan over a set of channels) for the purpose of providing a known signal source useful in site survey, antenna alignment testing, interference analysis and many other applications.</p>
<p>Thus a notebook computer can be turned into a generator of a stable and accurate wireless signal and used in place of a real access point for placement purposes, or for generating interference to evaluate that condition during site surveys. While it would be nice to see a version of this product with variable power output, so as to simulate a given distance from an access point, this is a clever little product that will be right at home in the toolbox of installers everywhere. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Audio Precision has announced several new features for its APx Series of audio analyzers. These features relate to the display, analysis, and control of metadata in HDMI (high-definition-multimedia interface); IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) 60598 standard, which defines the Toslink and S/PDIF (Sony/Philips digital-interface format) consumer digital-audio interfaces; and AES3/EBU (Audio Engineering Society 3/European Broadcast Union) digital-audio streams. The additional features are available in the first beta release of APx500 Version 2.4 software. The vendor expects to release the full Version 2.4 this year. “Errors in metadata can cause real problems in HDMI that you just don&#8217;t see in S/PDIF,” explains Dan Knighten, Audio Precision’s director of products. “A logic-analyzer view shows exactly what’s going on over time so you can identify what’s causing glitches or other issues.”</p>
<p>Three features of the new release, including two new metadata monitors, relate to the analysis and management of metadata. One of these monitors allows decoding and displaying the entire HDMI audio InfoFrame, including the current values of CTS (cycle-time stamp) and N, a constant that CTS uses to define the relationship between the audio-sample clock and an HDMI link’s TMDS (transmission-minimized-differential-signaling)-master-clock values, HDCP (high-bandwidth digital-content-protection) state, audio layout, and audio/video-mute condition. The second monitor displays information about the channel status and user bits embedded in IEC60958/AES3/EBU-format audio content. Both the HDMI and the IEC60598 audio monitors also display the digital-audio stream type and sample rate, as well as Dolby and DTS (Digital Theatre Sound) parameters, including the dialogue-normalization level, bit rate, and ACmod/Amode values. ACmod for Dolby and Amode for DTS are metadata that define a bit stream’s number of encoded channels.</p>
<p>Two new metadata-editor panels allow you to override default metadata settings and set channel-status information and HDMI audio-InfoFrame data to any value. You can use these panels to verify the response of a device under test to both valid and invalid settings. The metadata recorder is an easy-to-read color display, which, in a logic-analyzer-like display, can plot the changing states of multiple metadata fields in real time. You can simultaneously display as many as 15 fields, so you can monitor in detail what happens to metadata when you hot-plug an HDMI device, or you can determine when and where data glitches occur in a corrupted audio stream. The system also automatically identifies and flags discrepancies between the indicated metadata and the received metadata—for example, if the input sample rate is 48 kHz but the channel status indicates that it should be 44.1 kHz. The results of such measurements are helpful in verifying that a device under test’s behavior complies with relevant specifications.</p>
<p>APx’s US prices start at less than $10,000 for the hardware and required software. You can download the free APx 2.4 beta release with the above-noted features. Taking advantage of Version 2.4’s digital-protocol-analysis features requires digital-I/O hardware, which the APx525 includes at its US price of $12,250.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a name="0.2.VZ5PKZ.GE7BBH.3WMF4D.XC1">What</a> is an oscilloscope, what can you do with it, and how does it work?  This section answers these fundamental questions.</p>
<p>The oscilloscope is basically a graph-displaying device &#8211; it draws a graph  of an electrical signal. In most applications the graph shows how signals  change over time: the vertical (Y) axis represents voltage and the horizontal  (X) axis represents time. The intensity or brightness of the display is  sometimes called the Z axis. (See Figure 1.) This simple graph can tell you  many things about a signal. Here are a few:</p>
<ul>
<li>You can determine the time and voltage values of a signal.</li>
<li>You can calculate the frequency of an oscillating signal.</li>
<li>You can see the &#8220;moving parts&#8221; of a circuit represented by the signal.</li>
<li>You can tell if a malfunctioning component is distorting the signal.</li>
<li>You can find out how much of a signal is direct current (DC) or  alternating current (AC).</li>
<li>You can tell how much of the signal is noise and whether the noise is  changing with time.</li>
</ul>

<p><strong><strong>Figure 1: </strong>X, Y, and Z Components of a Displayed Waveform</strong></p>
<p>An oscilloscope looks a lot like a small television set, except that it has a grid  drawn on its screen and more controls than a television. The front panel of  an oscilloscope normally has control sections divided into Vertical,  Horizontal, and Trigger sections. There are also display controls and input  connectors. See if you can locate these front panel sections in Figures 2 and  3 and on your oscilloscope.<br />

<h2><a name="0.2.VZ5PKZ.GE7BBH.5WMF4D.7D1">What</a> Can You Do With It?</h2>
<p>Oscilloscopes are used by everyone from television repair technicians to  physicists. They are indispensable for anyone designing or repairing  electronic equipment.</p>
<p><a name="0.2.VZ5PKZ.GE7BBH.BWMF4D.VD1">The</a> usefulness of an oscilloscope is not limited to the world of electronics.  With the proper <em>transducer</em>, an oscilloscope can measure all kinds of  phenomena. A transducer is a device that creates an electrical signal in  response to physical stimuli, such as sound, mechanical stress, pressure,  light, or heat. For example, a microphone is a transducer.</p>
<p>An automotive engineer uses an oscilloscope to measure engine vibrations.  A medical researcher uses an oscilloscope to measure brain waves. The  possibilities are endless.<br />
<img src="https://www.cs.tcd.ie/courses/baict/bac/jf/labs/scope/graphics/oscillosco4_04.gif" alt="" /></p>
<p><strong><strong>Figure 4: </strong>Scientific Data Gathered by an Oscilloscope</strong></p>
<h2><a name="0.2.VZ5PKZ.GE7BBH.5WMF4D.3D1">Analog</a> and Digital</h2>
<p>Electronic equipment can be divided into two types: analog and digital.  <em>Analog</em> equipment works with continuously variable voltages, while <em>digital</em> equipment works with discrete binary numbers that may represent voltage  samples. For example, a conventional phonograph turntable is an analog  device; a compact disc player is a digital device.</p>
<p>Oscilloscopes also come in analog and digital types. An analog oscilloscope  works by directly applying a voltage being measured to an electron beam  moving across the oscilloscope screen. The voltage deflects the beam up  and down proportionally, tracing the waveform on the screen. This gives an  immediate picture of the waveform.</p>
<p><a name="0.2.VZ5PKZ.GE7BBH.ZUMF4D.J81">In</a> contrast, a digital oscilloscope samples the waveform and uses an  analog-to-digital converter (or ADC) to convert the voltage being  measured into digital information. It then uses this digital information to  reconstruct the waveform on the screen.<br />
<img src="https://www.cs.tcd.ie/courses/baict/bac/jf/labs/scope/graphics/oscillosco5_05.gif" alt="" /></p>
<p><strong><strong>Figure 5: </strong>Digital and Analog Oscilloscopes Display Waveforms</strong></p>
<p>For many applications either an analog or digital oscilloscope will do.  However, each type does possess some unique characteristics making it  more or less suitable for specific tasks.</p>
<p>People often prefer analog oscilloscopes when it is important to display  rapidly varying signals in &#8220;real time&#8221; (or as they occur).</p>
<p>Digital oscilloscopes allow you to capture and view events that may happen  only once. They can process the digital waveform data or send the data to a  computer for processing. Also, they can store the digital waveform data for  later viewing and printing.</p>
<h2><a name="0.2.VZ5PKZ.GE7BBH.5WMF4D.5D1">How</a> Does an Oscilloscope Work?</h2>
<p>To better understand the oscilloscope controls, you need to know a little  more about how oscilloscopes display a signal. Analog oscilloscopes work  somewhat differently than digital oscilloscopes. However, several of the  internal systems are similar. Analog oscilloscopes are somewhat simpler in  concept and are described first, followed by a description of digital  oscilloscopes.</p>
<h3><a name="0.2.VZ5PKZ.GE7BBH.0WMF4D.JC1">Analog</a> Oscilloscopes</h3>
<p>When you connect an oscilloscope probe to a circuit, the voltage signal  travels through the probe to the <a name="vertsys">vertical system</a> of the oscilloscope. Figure 6  is a simple block diagram that shows how an analog oscilloscope displays a  measured signal.<br />
<img src="https://www.cs.tcd.ie/courses/baict/bac/jf/labs/scope/graphics/oscillosco6_06.gif" alt="" /></p>
<p><strong><strong>Figure 6: </strong><a name="0.2.VZ5PKZ.GE7BBH.2WMF4D.TC1">Analog</a> Oscilloscope Block Diagram</strong></p>
<p><a name="0.2.VZ5PKZ.GE7BBH.ZVMF4D.HC1">Depending</a> on how you set the vertical scale (volts/div control), an <em>attenuator</em> reduces the signal voltage or an <em>amplifier</em> increases the signal voltage.</p>
<p><a name="0.2.VZ5PKZ.GE7BBH.1WMF4D.NC1">Next,</a> the signal travels directly to the vertical deflection plates of the cathode  ray tube (CRT). Voltage applied to these deflection plates causes a glowing  dot to move. (An electron beam hitting phosphor inside the CRT creates the  glowing dot.) A positive voltage causes the dot to move up while a negative  voltage causes the dot to move down.</p>
<p><a name="0.2.VZ5PKZ.GE7BBH.2WMF4D.RC1">The</a> signal also travels to the trigger system to start or trigger a &#8220;horizontal  sweep.&#8221; Horizontal sweep is a term referring to the action of the horizontal  system causing the glowing dot to move across the screen. Triggering the  horizontal system causes the horizontal time base to move the glowing dot  across the screen from left to right within a specific time interval. Many  sweeps in rapid sequence cause the movement of the glowing dot to blend  into a solid line. At higher speeds, the dot may sweep across the screen up  to 500,000 times each second.</p>
<p>Together, the horizontal sweeping action and the vertical deflection action  traces a graph of the signal on the screen. The trigger is necessary to  stabilize a repeating signal. It ensures that the sweep begins at the same  point of a repeating signal, resulting in a clear picture as shown in Figure 7.<br />
<img src="https://www.cs.tcd.ie/courses/baict/bac/jf/labs/scope/graphics/oscillosco7_07.gif" alt="" /></p>
<p><strong><strong>Figure 7: </strong>Triggering Stabilizes a Repeating Waveform</strong></p>
<p>In conclusion, to use an analog oscilloscope, you need to adjust three basic  settings to accommodate an incoming signal:</p>
<ul>
<li>The attenuation or amplification of the signal. Use the volts/div control to  adjust the amplitude of the signal before it is applied to the vertical  deflection plates.</li>
<li>The time base. Use the sec/div control to set the amount of time per  division represented horizontally across the screen.</li>
<li>The triggering of the oscilloscope. Use the trigger level to stabilize a  repeating signal, as well as triggering on a single event.</li>
</ul>
<p>Also, adjusting the focus and intensity controls enables you to create a  sharp, visible display.</p>
<h3><a name="0.2.VZ5PKZ.GE7BBH.1WMF4D.PC1">Digital</a> Oscilloscopes</h3>
<p>Some of the systems that make up digital oscilloscopes are the same as  those in analog oscilloscopes; however, digital oscilloscopes contain  additional data processing systems. (See Figure 8.) With the added  systems, the digital oscilloscope collects data for the entire waveform and  then displays it.</p>
<p>When you attach a digital oscilloscope probe to a circuit, the vertical system  adjusts the amplitude of the signal, just as in the analog oscilloscope.</p>
<p><a name="0.2.VZ5PKZ.GE7BBH.ZTMF4D.T51">Next,</a> the analog-to-digital converter (ADC) in the acquisition system  samples the signal at discrete points in time and converts the signal&#8217;s  voltage at these points to digital values called <em>sample points</em>. The horizontal  system&#8217;s sample clock determines how often the ADC takes a sample. The  rate at which the clock &#8220;ticks&#8221; is called the sample rate and is measured in  samples per second.</p>
<p>The sample points from the ADC are stored in memory as <em>waveform points</em>.  More than one sample point may make up one waveform point.</p>
<p><a name="0.2.VZ5PKZ.GE7BBH.7WMF4D.DD1">Together,</a> the waveform points make up one waveform <em>record</em>. The number  of waveform points used to make a waveform record is called the <em>record  length</em>. The trigger system determines the start and stop points of the  record. The display receives these record points after being stored in  memory.</p>
<p><a name="0.2.VZ5PKZ.GE7BBH.6WMF4D.9D1">Depending</a> on the capabilities of your oscilloscope, additional processing of  the sample points may take place, enhancing the display. Pretrigger may be  available, allowing you to see events before the trigger point.<br />
<img src="https://www.cs.tcd.ie/courses/baict/bac/jf/labs/scope/graphics/oscillosco8_08.gif" alt="" /></p>
<p><strong><strong>Figure 8: </strong><strong>Digital Oscilloscope Block Diagram</strong></strong></p>
<p>Fundamentally, with a digital oscilloscope as with an analog oscilloscope,  you need to adjust the vertical, horizontal, and trigger settings to take a  measurement.</p>
<h3><a name="0.2.VZ5PKZ.GE7BBH.OQMF4D.L31">Sampling</a> Methods</h3>
<p>The sampling method tells the digital oscilloscope how to collect sample  points. For slowly changing signals, a digital oscilloscope easily collects  more than enough sample points to construct an accurate picture. However,  for faster signals, (how fast depends on the oscilloscope&#8217;s maximum sample  rate) the oscilloscope cannot collect enough samples. The digital  oscilloscope can do two things:</p>
<ul>
<li><a name="0.2.VZ5PKZ.GE7BBH.WUMF4D.781">It</a> can collect a few sample points of the signal in a single pass (in  <em>real-time </em>sampling mode) and then use <em>interpolation</em>. Interpolation is a  processing technique to estimate what the waveform looks like based  on a few points.</li>
<li><a name="0.2.VZ5PKZ.GE7BBH.XUMF4D.981">It</a> can build a picture of the waveform over time, as long as the signal  repeats itself (<em>equivalent-time</em> sampling mode).</li>
</ul>
<h3><a name="0.2.VZ5PKZ.GE7BBH.XUMF4D.B81">Real-Time</a> Sampling with Interpolation</h3>
<p><a name="0.2.VZ5PKZ.GE7BBH.YUMF4D.F81">Digital</a> oscilloscopes use real-time sampling as the standard sampling  method. In real-time sampling, the oscilloscope collects as many samples  as it can as the signal occurs. (See Figure 9.) For single-shot or transient  signals you must use real time sampling.<br />
<img src="https://www.cs.tcd.ie/courses/baict/bac/jf/labs/scope/graphics/oscillosco9_09.gif" alt="" /></p>
<p><strong><strong>Figure 9: </strong>Real-time Sampling</strong></p>
<p>Digital oscilloscopes use interpolation to display signals that are so fast that  the oscilloscope can only collect a few sample points. Interpolation  &#8220;connects the dots.&#8221;</p>
<p>Linear interpolation simply connects sample points with straight lines. Sine  interpolation (or <em>sin x over x</em> interpolation) connects sample points with  curves. (See Figure 10.) <em>Sin x over x</em> interpolation is a mathematical process  similar to the &#8220;oversampling&#8221; used in compact disc players. With sine  interpolation, points are calculated to fill in the time between the real  samples. Using this process, a signal that is sampled only a few times in  each cycle can be accurately displayed or, in the case of the compact disc  player, accurately played back.<br />

<p><a name="0.2.VZ5PKZ.GE7BBH.6WMF4D.BD1">Some</a> digital oscilloscopes can use equivalent-time sampling to capture  very fast repeating signals. Equivalent-time sampling constructs a picture  of a repetitive signal by capturing a little bit of information from each  repetition. (See Figure 11.) You see the waveform slowly build up like a  string of lights going on one-by-one. With <em>sequential sampling</em> the points  appear from left to right in sequence; with <em>random sampling</em> the points  appear randomly along the waveform.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>An <strong>oscilloscope</strong> (abbreviated sometimes as &#8216;<strong>scope</strong> or <strong>O-scope</strong>) is a type of <a title="Electronic test instrument" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_test_instrument">electronic test instrument</a> that allows signal <a title="Voltage" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage">voltages</a> to be viewed, usually as a two-dimensional graph of one or more electrical <a title="Potential difference" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potential_difference">potential differences</a> (vertical axis) plotted as a function of time or of some other voltage (horizontal axis). Although an oscilloscope displays voltage on its vertical axis, any other quantity that can be converted to a voltage can be displayed as well. In most instances, oscilloscopes show events that repeat with either no change, or change slowly. The oscilloscope is one of the most versatile and widely-used electronic instruments. <sup id="cite_ref-0"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscilloscope#cite_note-0"><span>[</span>1<span>]</span></a></sup></p>
<p>Oscilloscopes are commonly used when it is desired to observe the exact <a title="Waveform" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waveform">wave shape</a> of an electrical signal. In addition to the amplitude of the signal, an oscilloscope can show distortion and measure frequency, time between two events (such as pulse width or pulse rise time), and relative timing of two related signals. Some modern digital oscilloscopes can analyze and display the spectrum of a repetitive event. Special-purpose oscilloscopes, called <a title="Spectrum analyzer" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectrum_analyzer">spectrum analyzers</a>, have sensitive inputs and can display spectra well into the GHz range. A few oscilloscopes that accept plug-ins can display spectra in the audio range.</p>
<p>Oscilloscopes are used in the sciences, medicine, engineering, telecommunications, and industry. General-purpose instruments are used for maintenance of electronic equipment and laboratory work. Special-purpose oscilloscopes may be used for such purposes as analyzing an automotive ignition system, or to display the <a title="Electrocardiogram" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrocardiogram">waveform of the heartbeat</a>.</p>
<p>Originally all oscilloscopes used <a title="Cathode ray tube" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathode_ray_tube">cathode ray tubes</a> as their display element and linear amplifiers for signal processing, but modern oscilloscopes can have LCD or LED screens, fast <a title="Analog-to-digital converter" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analog-to-digital_converter">analog-to-digital converters</a> and <a title="Digital signal processors" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_signal_processors">digital signal processors</a>. Although not as commonplace, some oscilloscopes used storage CRTs to display single events for a limited time. Oscilloscope peripheral modules for general purpose laptop or desktop <a title="Personal computer" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_computer">personal computers</a> use the computer&#8217;s display, and can convert them into useful and flexible test instruments.</p>
