Tektronix enhances acclaimed 5 Series Mixed Signal Oscilloscope

Tektronix today announced the launch of its newest version of the award-winning 5 Series mixed-signal oscilloscope (MSO). With numerous enhancements, the 5 Series MSO delivers even more versatility while continuing to provide high-fidelity waveforms, unique spectrum analysis capabilities and flexible signal access appreciated by engineers around the world.

Built on the performance and integrity that engineers rely on with the original 5 Series MSO, the B version includes customer-centric updates led by a new auxiliary trigger input that lets users synchronise the oscilloscope to an external signal without consuming any of the 4, 6, or 8 full-capability input channels. For the optional, built-in arbitrary/function generator, the maximum frequency output increases from 50 MHz to a best-in-class 100 MHz, enabling higher frequency stimulus for measurements such as Bode plots and impedance measurements. These new capabilities are invaluable for making fast, thorough checks of power integrity on power distribution networks.

To serve the needs of engineers working and collaborating outside the lab, the new 5 Series B MSO works with new tools for offline analysis and cloud data storage. TekScope PC software enables analysis of oscilloscope waveform data anywhere, without tying up the oscilloscope. Controls are built into the scope to enable saving to TekDrive cloud storage with a single button press. Users can easily save waveform data to the cloud, allowing teams to work and collaborate almost anywhere in the world.

“Setting up our 5 Series MSO has been really intuitive,” said Wyatt Callister, Associate Test Engineer, Product Support Development at Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories. “Digging through the menus on older oscilloscopes can be quite a headache, but the nice, large, informative buttons on this new scope have been really useful. I appreciate Tektronix’s ongoing developments and the improved features they just released.”

A faster processor makes controls even more responsive and will support additional, more complex measurement analysis in the future.

Additional features include:

  • A new, brighter display provides greater clarity, showcasing waveform detail from the instrument’s 12-bit ADCs.
  • History Mode leverages the 5 Series B’s extended memory, allowing users to capture thousands of triggered events and easily review them to find events of interest.
  • Solid State Drive System ensures all user data is stored on a removable drive. For secure labs where measurement data integrity is mission critical.

“We’re excited to offer the latest update to one of our most innovative products,” says Suchi Srinivasan, Product Line General Manager at Tektronix. “The new 5 Series B offers users intuitive operations with advanced measurements that teams can use almost anywhere with our TekDrive cloud.”

The B version updates the original 5 Series MSO, which was launched in 2017 and was well-received by engineers for its big display and thoughtful integration of a pinch, drag, and swipe touchscreen user interface. Both the original 5 Series and the new 5 Series B ship with low-loading passive probes with bandwidth up to 1 GHz, also offers support for a wide range of probes, such as power rail and optically isolated probes like the IsoVu isolated probe, eliminating common-mode interference using optical isolation.

Since the release of the original 5 Series, Tek has released 16 firmware updates, each of which has added new capabilities that collectively deepen the instrument’s solution coverage measurement applications in areas like serial protocol decoding, motor drive analysis, and RF spectrum analysis.

Emitech Group expands its activities in the field of electric mobility

The Emitech Group offers a variety and a number of unique test facilities in France, constantly evolving with the aim of supporting its customers’ innovation, in particular in the field of electric mobility. The Group already has significant test facilities available in this field. For example there is the EMCEM facility, which aims to characterise an electric vehicle motor from the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) point of view, as well as test benches for high-voltage (HV) batteries, power electronics, calculators etc. It announces new equipment and facilities for tests in the field of hydrogen (fuel cells systems, tanks + valves). The implementation of the hydrogen sector by several stakeholders and regions in France is a strong axis of the energy transition.

Hydrogen activities: EMC, electrical, mechanical, climatic and fire testing

Hydrogen fuel cell testing requires complex facilities that incorporate a large number of constraints. These installations must be secured because hydrogen (H2) is a potentially explosive gas when it reaches a concentration of 4% in the air. Moreover, a power equivalent to 50% of the electrical production of the hydrogen fuel cell system is also dissipated as heat. This is why Emitech, after having selected a hydrogen supplier and installed H2 supply systems, had to fit out its laboratories to secure its installations with H2 sensors and to equip laboratories with dedicated cooling units.

The Emitech Group has now two laboratories in France adapted to receive all kinds of equipments, including high power hydrogen fuel cells (45kW testing capabilities now, 100kW in mid-2022). A third laboratory installation more specialised for H2 tank applications testing is also in preparation.

The first electromagnetic compatibility and electrical test laboratory has a 70m² semi-anechoic Faraday cage (H>5m) with facilities dedicated to hydrogen: an H2 supply unit connected to four V18 cylinder racks (4x158m3 of H2 compressed to 200 bars / 15°C), hydrogen detection sensors, an ATEX extractor hood for any vapours and a 45kW cooling unit.

In the mechanical and climatic second test laboratory, the climatic chamber has been completely adapted and secured to receive a complete fuel cell system with a H2 supply unit connected to two V18 racks of cylinders (H2 compressed to 200 bars at 15°C) and detection sensors.

The third mechanical and climatic test laboratory has a unique expertise in fire testing as well as tank testing capabilities (hydraulic and pneumatic testing: endurance, pressure resistance, bursting, puncture, impact, overloading). It is currently being adapted to become a type IV H2 tank testing centre.

Testing: a first complete 45kVA fuel cell system

Emitech is currently working with one of the leaders in Fuel Cell System in France and Europe on a project for utility vehicles powered by hydrogen fuel cells.

The equipment supplier provides the manufacturer with the electrical energy, a fuel cell, for integration into a conventional electric vehicle architecture. It is a complete and complex system that includes cooling system as well as regulators for humidity, air compression, etc. In addition, the fuel cell is completed by a high-voltage battery for transient power requirements such as acceleration and for energy recovery storage, especially during braking.

The system is tested in EMC, climatic and mechanical domain in Emitech laboratories according to the automotive manufacturer’s specifications involved in this project. Emitech is the only one French laboratory to offer these campaigns and the qualification of the system regarding environmental parameters.

Emitech was able to adapt its laboratories in a few months to meet its customer’s needs regarding hydrogen and to conduct these tests. Testing began in autumn 2020 for mechanical and climatic, and then in January 2021 for EMC. Other campaigns are planned and international customers have already expressed their interest for these installations. In order to support the sector’s development and the increase in the power of the various equipment manufacturers’ fuel cell building blocks, laboratory upgrades are already planned for 2022 to enable tests performance on 100kW FCS (Fuel Cell System).

An expansion of the developing skills

Emitech has become a member of two major networks in France in the field of hydrogen. Emitech has been a member of FRANCE HYDROGENE since january 2021, an association federating the actors (more than 400) of hydrogen and fuel cells in France. EMITECH also belongs to the general H2 circle within the NEOPOLIA network, which brings together more than 250 companies mainly from the French region Pays de la Loire.

At the same time, Emitech actively monitors standards and technical normative working group in order to keep on developing its facilities and adapt them to the customers’ future needs while meeting test standards requirements. This is the case, for example, for the use of hydrogen in ports, whether for recreational boating or for the merchant marine in the long term, but also for automotive or aeronautics and its green aircraft.

Emitech is also referenced as H2 testing laboratory in the “Guide for conformity assessment and certification of hydrogen systems”, a reference synthesis document on the subject published in July 2021 by INERIS (National Institute for Industrial Environment and Risks) on behalf of ADEME (French Environment and Energy Management Agency) and FRANCE HYDROGENE.

Wireless pump monitoring and control for reservoirs

Imagine your job was to oversee a group of water reservoirs dispersed over a large area — how would you expect to monitor water levels at each reservoir and control water pumps accordingly? Using a wireless telemetry system of course. Although this sounds like a simple plan, asset managers have struggled in recent years because of mounting costs associated with license band radio frequencies. Here Ian Loudon, international sales and marketing manager at wireless pump monitoring and control specialist Omniflex, explores what is needed for industry to overcome these challenges.

 Water reservoirs are often situated in geographically dispersed areas and can be difficult to access. This means that asset managers must rely on remote monitoring and control systems to monitor water levels and turn pumps on and off at each reservoir from a centralised control station. Because installing control cables is extremely expensive, more costly than any of the equipment itself, the utilities industry relies on wireless monitoring and control systems to keep costs down.

Wireless monitoring of all reservoirs from a centralised control system allows asset managers to know what the water levels are at each site at a glance. If combined with a pump control system, this allows them to control water levels to suit demand without the need for costly, disruptive site visits.

Wireless technology also increases operational flexibility, since it is much simpler to move a wireless device compared to a cable unit. This is because, when moving wired units, engineers must dig up all the cables and reroute them to the new location, compared to wireless units where all they need to do is unplug them at the old location and plug them in at the new one.

Traditionally, asset managers used radio telemetry systems, operating in license band frequencies, to operate all wireless equipment over. However, administration costs to own and maintain license band radio frequencies often outweighed the cost of the equipment itself, making the networks much more expensive to operate.

New globally defined license-free ISM band radio telemetry equipment, Industrial, scientific and medical band radio frequency spectrum (ISM) has proven to be a game changer, helping equipment owners avoid unnecessary licensing and admin costs. Combine this with Omniflex’s plug-and-play technology and you have a system that can be easily installed and up-and-running in minutes.

The wireless units can be directly interfaced to an existing supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system using the on-board ethernet ports or function as a stand-alone programmable controller independent of SCADA using wireless networking to monitor remote I/O for control implementation. This makes installation quick and simple, allowing asset managers to save on any additional hardware or engineering requirements. Most applications require little or no programming due to the rich functionality of the Omniflex Telemetry devices. Eg A remote tank/reservoir level set points can be mapped via the telemetry system to the pump controller triggering pump on and off control.

Furthermore, Omniflex’s cloud-based Data2Desktop platform allows asset managers to monitor systems 24/7 using a tablet or phone, rather than having to use a fixed desktop in the plants control room. This is especially helpful for mobile workforce and even in the current situation, where many people are forced to work remotely because of the global pandemic.

This new generation of plug-and-play wireless telemetry equipment is benefitting more than just water reservoir managers. This technology is also extremely beneficial in other industries, such as mining where they rely on surface-level control of sub surface water pumps to remove water from the mines. In fact, any industry where cabling is either too expensive, or too disruptive, to install can benefit from adopting this kind of plug-and-play wireless telemetry system.

Anritsu, in collaboration with Qualcomm, verifies industry first enhanced network slicing and power saving tests for 5G new radio standalone

Electricity in case of emergency

The likelihood of power failures in Europe is growing dramatically due to stretched energy supply networks, growing customer demand and a greater reliance on variable sources of energy. Power shortages are inconvenient for any business but, for critical establishments like hospitals, they can cost lives. That’s why Erasmus University Medical Centre in Rotterdam, Netherlands, turned to Ovarro, the control technology specialist, to provide an automated backup energy management and SCADA system that would help protect it from power outages.

Europe is currently facing a growing energy crisis thanks to a perfect storm of factors including colder winters, importing natural gas, the coronavirus pandemic and lower-than-usual output from renewable energy sources. All this brings home the fact that the transition to renewable energy generation, while essential to reduce CO2 emissions, results in an increasingly fragile energy supply. An uncertain power supply can, in turn, lead to costly power outages.

Fast, fine-tuned switching for backup power

Long before this crisis, the Erasmus University Medical Centre recognised its need for a backup power system. Without backup generators, any power outage could leave essential parts of the hospital completely in the dark, and everything from automatic doors to life-support machines without power.

The answer wasn’t as simple as just installing a backup generator or two. The first challenge was the size of the hospital. In fact, the Erasmus University Medical Centre is the largest of its kind in Europe, making it impossible to keep the entire hospital running on backup power. A more focussed solution was needed, where key systems could be prioritised depending on the amount of electricity available at any given time.

Critical systems were needed that could switch to the backup power as soon as an outage occurred, without the need for time-consuming manual switching or decision making. The hospital also wanted a dynamic system rather than a hardwired one, so the system’s priorities could be added or changed as needed.

That’s why, in 2010, the hospital turned to Datawatt, now part of Ovarro, to help create a solution that would automate the Erasmus University Medical Centre’s backup power grid. In response, Datawatt designed a complete energy management and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system.

The energy management system and SCADA uses standard hardware, which is connected through a fast and reliable fibre network. This makes it simple to connect more devices into the system as the hospital expands. Where the system is really unique,  however, is in the level of control it gives for where the backup power is directed. Very specific areas or assets in the hospital — the emergency lights, for example — can be swiftly provided with power thanks to the energy management system’s fine-tuned switching capabilities.

The system doesn’t only automate the distribution and switching of power in emergency or outage situations. It also collects data to monitor power consumption and the switching of electricity. This information can be used to maximise the efficiency of the system and identify any problems, to ensure issues are addressed before the next time the backup generators are needed.

A growing system

Over time, the energy management system and SCADA system supplied by Datawatt has grown to include over 200 remote telemetry units (RTUs) around the hospital. Although the system was initially built with the D05 RTU model, it has gradually been updated to the latest version, the DSG RTU. The DSG offers maximum security and even more flexibility than its predecessors. The RTU combines with 600 remote Input/Output (I/O) units placed in various cabinets, to offer complete control over where power can be directed.

The DSG is a cost-effective, state-of-the-art RTU for integrated network applications. It’s designed for maximum security, yet is still flexible enough to be used in complex applications. Datawatt, now Ovarro, has combined the DSG RTUs with other components to create a full-cabinet system that can be installed easily around the hospital.

Despite beginning in 2010, the project between Erasmus University Medical Centre and Ovarro is still expanding, as older buildings are being demolished or renovated. Not only is Ovarro responsible for maintaining the energy management and SCADA system, it is also continually adding to it — a simple task, thanks to the system’s modular design.

For this project, it was essential to collaborate with the customer so Erasmus University Medical Centre could gain the most from the expertise Ovarro brings to the table. Customers aren’t just looking for a supplier, but a partner — whether Ovarro is supplying remote monitoring and control systems for hospitals, water networks or other applications.

As pressure mounts on the European electricity grid, power cuts may become more common. Fortunately, this needn’t be a major concern for Rotterdam’s Erasmus University Medical Centre. With its automated energy management and SCADA system supplied by Ovarro, backup power can now be supplied almost immediately and exactly where it needs to go. Going forward, the system’s data can be monitored and analysed, which gives the medical centre even more control over its power system to keep the hospital keep running safely.

High speed 2D and 3D measurement made simple

Industrial measurement systems specialist The Sempre Group now offers demonstrations on the UK’s first InspecVision 2D and 3D measurement demo machine. Potential and existing customers can visit The Sempre Group’s Centre of Excellence in Gloucester to see the new features of Planar and Optiscan systems, such as the automated turntable feature for 3D measurement, the SurfScan and 2D repositioning upgrades. UK and Irish manufacturers can use these additions to improve measurement accuracy and integrate 2D and 3D measurement.

InspecVision offers low-cost machinery that businesses can use to carry out one click, single-second field of view 2D, 2.5D and 3D measurements with a single click. Manufacturers, particularly in the automotive and sheet metal industries, can use these systems to measure and obtain traceable results, without the need for hand tools or manual input. They can also link the system to computer aided design (CAD) models to easily show users if a part is in or out of tolerance with overlayed colour mapping.

The Sempre Group can provide expert demonstrations of the technology, including the range of add-ons, such as the SurfScan. The system is a high-resolution projector that can be simply retrofitted onto an existing Planar vertical column. This allows manufacturers to improve the accuracy of their 2D and 2.5D inspection, without investing in an entirely new and possibly costly system. The addition enables businesses to accurately inspect forms, louvres and small bends with a single click, streamlining measurement of complex parts.

Sempre can also demonstrate the 2D repositioning Planar add-on to customers looking for an unbiased opinion about the technology. OEMs can use the system’s integrated optical markers to measure parts larger than the base table in one cohesive process. The systems stitches 2D scans together, removing the manual and time-consuming process of accurately repositioning parts. Ultimately, this allows manufacturers to invest in one system, rather than multiple for different sized components, potentially saving thousands.

“The LED ring around the camera is a great addition for manufacturers who want to improve the system’s visibility and inspection accuracy because automatically helps determine the movement of a 2D part,” explained Mike G John, head of engineering at The Sempre Group. “When this is partnered with the Opti-Scan 1000.35 and the automated turntable, manufacturers can collect eight times the number of 3D measurements, compared to a typical scan rotation. Manufacturers can set up a demonstration to see how they can rapidly and accurately collect and analyse data to improve their productivity, ensure accuracy and reduce waste.”

With the help of The Sempre Group’s installation and service team, OEMs can install any of these additional components onto pre-existing InspecVision Planar systems. The Sempre Group offers full suite of metrology solutions from a broad supplier base, including software and hardware, so businesses can find a solution that is specifically tailored to their needs.
