Current sensor

A loop-powered, linear output current transducer provides an output that is directly proportional to the rms alternating current passing through its toroidal sensor. TCSA Series devices provide 4- to 20-mA output over a 10 to 30V dc supply range. Four monitoring ranges are available: 0 to 5, 0 to 10, 0 to 20, and 0 to 50A.

Camera

Featuring interchangeable 1/2- and 1/3-inch remote heads, the IK-TU51 digital-output camera can also provide standard RGB analog output. The 3-chip camera uses 10-bit digital signal processing to deliver broadcast-level resolution and an S/N ratio of 64 dB. Features include: electronic shutter speeds as fast as 1/50,000 sec, 14-step detail enhancement, auto exposure, and an RS-232 interface.

Digital tester

Differential TTL and LVDS I/O capability lets the SR2500 Digital Test Subsystem communicate with two of the more common interfaces for transmitting serial data in data communications applications. The unit can perform both serial and parallel testing of standard TTL, differential TTL, differential ECL, LVDS, variable voltage, and 5V CMOS logic devices, assemblies, or systems having up to 576 I/O pins.
