Total Engineering Corporation has enhanced its embedded IEEE 488 product family to include a narrower and lighter version of the Mini-Test 488, the MT488A. Weighing 1.5 pounds and measuring 10.20"×4.72"×1.89", this rapid development, portable test controller features a fully integrated C development environment, an IEEE 488 general purpose interface bus (GPIB) controller and 32 bit bi-directional digital I/O. Engineered as a low cost, space saving alternative to PCs or workstations with IEEE 488 controllers doing repetitive tests, the easily programmable, field portable MT488A is frequently used as a demonstration controller at trade shows. RF component manufacturers, power supply and aerospace companies find the device to be a good turnkey solution for a broad range of test and control applications. It is commonly used to control RF attenuators, vector modulators and RF synthesizer tests. Further applications include the control of oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, power supplies printers, plotters, densitometers and digital gas volume sensors. In 25-unit quantities, the MT488A-VFD is priced at $845.00 each. Delivery is from stock to four weeks.
