The Surface Resistance Test Kit from Desco can simultaneously measure RTT, RTG, ambient temperature, and humidity, thereby reducing the number of instruments needed. The meter, which operates on two AA alkaline batteries, automatically selects the voltage range. Two 5-lb electrodes are included. Desco, Chino, CA. 909-627-8178; http://www.desco.com.

The Model 542 accurately measures electrostatic voltages from 0 to w20 kV. The instrument uses a DC-stable, electrostatic field chopper probe that can be remotely located. A large LCD screen displays information such as measured voltage and positive and negative peak voltages. Trek, Medina, NY. 800-367-8735; http://www.trekinc.com.

The 791W voltage wrist strap monitor simultaneously monitors the ESD voltages on two wrist straps and records ESD events in real time. The 791E equipment ground monitor provides three channels to continuously measure the ground connections of manufacturing equipment and ESD workstations. 3M, Austin, TX. 800-328-1368; http://www.3m.com.

The 406D static-decay meter evaluates the performance of static-dissipative materials used in electronic component packaging and clean rooms. The instrument meets DOD, NFPA, and EIA requirements, and its calibration is traceable to NIST. Electro-Tech Systems, Glenside, PA. 215-887-2196; http://www.electrotechsystems.com.

The Model 10ST1G18 is a self-contained, air-cooled amplifier that uses both solid-state and traveling wave tube (TWT) technology to deliver 10 W minimum from 0.8—18 GHz. Features include a GPIB interface; 0-dBm input; gain control; an RF output sample port; voltage standing-wave ratio (VSWR) protection; and monitors for TWT helix current, heater voltage, and cabinet temperature.
