PXI programmable resistors for test and measurement
Feb
Models 40-251 (2.5W), 40-252 (5W) and 40-253 (10W) are aimed at applications that require accurate medium-power programmable resistance such as a programmable load for the testing of electronic control units (ECUs) in automotive, military and aerospace sectors, as well as level sensing.
Available in modular PXI format for system integration, the resistor modules …
10 x 14mm modules offers Wi-Fi and Bluetooth simultaneously
Feb
Called NINA-W152, it measures 10 x 14 x 3.8mm including its built-in antenna. If an external antenna is needed, the 10 x 10.6 x 2.2mm NINA-W151 has a pin through which to drive one.
“The NINA-W15 modules support simultaneous operation on Wi-Fi and Bluetooth dual-mode and can thus serve as a gateway between Bluetooth and Wi-Fi or Ethernet. They can act as bo…
