WinSoft (www.winsoft.com) demonstrated its new WISE (WinSoft Instrument System Emulator) technology, which, the company says, supports the "form, fit and function replacement/upgrade of ATE instruments." One Multi-WISE unit, 1U in size, supports the replacement of multiple instruments regardless of the manufacturer, communication type (including GPIB, USB, and TCP/IP), or programming language (including assembly language as well as Atlas, HP-Basic, Fortran, and others).
AMREL/American Reliance (www.amrel.com) introduced a new 1.2-kW Model SPSE programmable switching power supply, which has a fully functional keypad as well as an embedded Ethernet interface. Output ranges from 8 to 600 VDC at from 2 to 150 ADC. AMREL’s MCU-2 controllers permit multiple-SPSE configurations. SPSE units can operate in parallel with automatic current sharing. In addition to Ethernet, the SPSE features closed-case calibration; a low-profile/high-power-density 1U-high configuration; GPIB/SCPI, RS-232, and USB interfaces; and a 10-turn potentiometer.
