The Probes Make ideal pre-qualification measurement tools. Their
high sensitivity enables you to pin point and analyse any radiation
sources by simple proximity. Quantify the effects of screening
and circuit improvements by before-after tests.

A Spectrum Probe converts any standard low performance
scope into an effective and sensitive Spectrum analyser. The display
is in a standard spectrum analyser format and readings are instantaneous.
The SD 255 covers the range 30KHz to 2.5MHz. |
|
The Spectrum Probes comprise a simplified and miniaturised
version of a complete spectrum analyser system built into a specially
engineered probe body. Connect the probe to an input on a standard
scope to obtain a real time spectrum on the screen. |

Using Spectrum Probes immediately opens up a whole
new measurement technique. Studying signals in the frequency domain
immediately shows characteristics such as distortion, frequency
content, modulation and harmonics, virtually impossible to detect
with a conventional scope. In addition, the probes are proving to
be very effective as EMC PRE QUALIFICATION checking tools.The high
sensitivity and small size are perfect for detecting, analysing
and locating sources of EMI radiation. In addition, the SD 255 probe
is specifically designed to allow use as a conducted RFI detector.
Applications include EMC sniffer for hot spots and leakages in screening,
checking and adjusting antenna matching, checking signal purity
and harmonic content, training, checking for arcing in machinery,
monitoring overall radiation levels in production test, location
of interferance etc..
The small size and ease of use make them ideal for any service or
test engineer who can now have the power of a spectrum analyser
in their own tool box!
Although the probes do not attempt to match the performance and
power of a conventional spectrum analysers, they do provide an exceptionally
quick and easy to use method of accomplishing many of the tasks
previously only possible with these far more expensive instruments.
In fact for anyone working with almost any branch of electronics,
the Spectrum Probe is a most effective and useful tool to have at
hand. |
