Plasma data

SmartPIM(TM)is an inline plasma measuring device which is designed to fingerprint the plasma through simultaneous measurement and display of current, voltage, and phase of the first five Fourier components. Applications include production fabs which demand high yield, productivity, and efficiency, and research and development facilities which require precise knowledge of plasma parameters.

Digital camera

The MegaPlus ES:310 Turbo is a progressive-scan digital camera which features a timing clock and 684x484 pixel interline-transfer CCD, which is said to provide images at 125 frames per second. Eight-bit dynamic range is said to allow comparison of bright and dim areas within the same image. The camera can be remotely controlled, and a multi-drop feature is said to allow 99 units to be controlled from a single computer.
