OMICRON Lab, September 2012 – OMICRON Lab's newly developed antenna-integrated PTP Grandmaster clock OTMC 100 provides precise and simple time synchronization of measurement devices via the Precision Time Protocol (PTP) according to IEEE 1588-2008. The unique design of the OTMC 100 series combines the GPS-Antenna, the GPS receiver and the Grandmaster clock in a compact and weatherproof housing. This enables a direct integration of the OTMC 100 Grandmaster Clocks into computer networks without the need of any coaxial RF cabling.

An active GPS-Antenna in combination with a sensitive 12-channel GPS receiver ensures that the OTMC 100 series provides reliable time synchronization data even under difficult reception conditions. The integrated PTP grandmaster clock runs a fully embedded PTP protocol stack and is controlled via a platform independent web interface. The OTMC 100 series is powered over Ethernet. Due to the extremely low power consumption its cost of operation is much lower than that of a standard rack mounted device.

The OTMC series so far consists of two models. The OTMC 100i was especially developed to meet the needs of industrial measurement applications such as automated test environments while the OTMC 100p was designed for protection, automation and control applications in the electric power industry.

OMICRON Lab, January 2012 – OMICRON Lab's new product, the optically isolated data acquisition system ISAQ 100, serves for analyzing and/or recording of voltage signals under challenging conditions. The accurate (2 MSps sampling rate, 18 bit resolution) ±250 V inputs of the two channels system can be used to analyze any physical or chemical process. A data recorder & analyzer as well as a real-time scope and FFT analyzer are provided by the controlling software, which runs on any standard Windows PC.

The full potential of the ISAQ 100 is acquired by making use of the fiber optical link of up to 3 km used for the data transfer between the acquisition units and the control unit. These enable the ISAQ 100 to be used as an isolation amplifier and make it the perfect solution for measurements in EMC critical areas and for high voltage applications. The hardware concept of the ISAQ 100 allows unlimited potential free measurements and even ensures safe operation for on-desk applications with up to 1000 V to ground. The battery powered acquisition units enable 8000 hours data recording and combined with the ISAQ 100’s light weight and compact design the ISAQ 100 assures outstanding flexibility.

OMICRON Lab, February 2011 – The new impedance measurement adapters B-WIC and B-SMC turn OMICRON Lab's network analyzer Bode 100 into a cost-effective and easy to use LCR Meter. Both adapters work in the frequency range from 1 Hz to 40 MHz.

Besides the examined component's complex impedance also the serial and parallel equivalent resistance, capacitance and inductance as well as the quality factor can be displayed as a swept frequency curve.

The B-SMC is specially designed to measure surface mounted components, while the B-WIC enables to measure wired component of any kind. Both adapters are equipped with an effective spring based mechanism allowing a quick exchange of the measurement object. Gold plated contacts ensure a low and reproducible contact resistance.

Free application notes at www.omicron-lab.com ensure a quick and effective start of impedance measurements with the Bode 100.

September  2010 Phoenix, AZ / Klaus, Austria: OMICRON Lab,  a leader in network analyzer test equipment, and Picotest.com, a leader in high-tech precision electronic instruments have signed a cooperation agreement that allows each company to sell and distribute key products produced by the other. In the reciprocal agreement, Picotest.com will sell the OMICRON Lab products, including the Bode 100 network analyzer and its accessories, and OMICRON Lab and its distributors will sell the new Picotest line of Signal Injectors.

“There is a great synergy between the products, technology and capabilities of OMICRON Lab and Picotest,” states OMICRON Lab Business Manager, Bernhard Baumgartner.
 
OMICRON Lab will distribute Picotest’s line of Single Injectors, which pair perfectly with the Bode 100 network analyzer and greatly extend its usefulness. Together, the Signal Injectors enable the Bode 100 to better measure stability, input and output impedance, PSRR, component impedances, reverse transfer, crosstalk and Middlebrook filter stability. OMICRON Lab will sell the Signal Injectors both directly and indirectly through their worldwide distributor network. Picotest.com will sell the Bode 100 and its accessories throughout the US markets.
“The Signal Injectors and Bode 100 Vector Network Analyzer are a very powerful combination. Picotest’s expertise in power supply test and measurement will help teach engineers about all the ways the Bode 100 can benefit them,” adds Baumgartner. “Picotest.com displays an excellent combination of practical engineering expertise and understanding of the test equipment landscape. Picotest.com offers the support and knowledge base we require from a top distributor.”

For Picotest.com, the Bode 100 analyzer adds tremendous capability. The Bode 100 is a compact, multifunctional test set designed for the electronic laboratory. The Bode 100 is the best value for a computer controlled Vector Network Analyzer, Gain Phase Meter, Impedance Meter and Sine Wave Generator in a single unit. The flexible hardware design, combined with PC based software allows the Bode 100 to be used for audio, video, and RF applications in R&D labs or production environments.

“We are excited to begin this relationship, states Steve Sandler, Managing Director of Picotest.com. “OMICRON Lab has a very strong organization behind its products and is dedicated to supplying the best price/performance value point in the analyzer market.”
With the Picotest Signal Injectors and the Bode 100 you can perform many high resolution measurements in the range from 1 Hz to 40 MHz non-invasively.

OMICRON Lab, January 2010 –  OMICRON Lab's new universal injection transformer B‑WIT 100 was particularly  developed  for the  stability analysis of switched mode power supplies and control loops of any kind. Due to its special design  the B‑WIT 100 combines a very wide frequency range (1Hz - 10 MHz) with a 600V CAT II compliant  output. Together with OMICRON Lab's vector network analyzer Bode 100 the B-WIT 100 is used to achieve quick and accurate results on the stability characteristic of DC/DC converters.

The 600V CAT II compliant output of the injection transformer enables the analysis of switched mode power supplies with output voltages ranging from a few volts up to mains voltage. The wide frequency range of the B‑WIT 100 ensures its usability for slow, low bandwidth control loops as well as to fast, high bandwidth circuits.  Due to this feature combination a wide range of measurement applications, which demanded different injection transformers in the past can be now covered with only one device – the B-WIT 100.

OMICRON Lab, May 2008 – From now on, the users of the portable network analyzer Bode 100 have access to an extended frequency range. With the release of the latest operation software, OMICRON Lab managed to reduce the lower frequency border to 1 Hz. Therefore, the Bode 100 offers now a more than seven decades spanning measurement range from 1 Hz – 40 MHz for Gain/Phase and impedance measurements.

Due to the extended frequency range, the Bode 100 is not only suitable for classical network analysis tasks it is also a perfect fit for the analysis of control circuits (e.g. DC/DC Converters), audio and ultrasound measurements as well as the measurement of piezoelectric sensors and transducers. The intelligent system design consisting of a small portable Hardware unit in combination with powerful PC software enables a very flexible use of Bode 100.

 
With the operation software Bode Analyzer Suite V2.2, OMICRON Lab consequently continues its strategy of delivering innovative and customer-oriented software solutions. In addition to the straight forward and intuitive operable graphical user interface, the Bode 100 offers an OLE compatible automation interface.   This interface enables the easy integration of the Bode 100 into automated measurement setups, for example, manufacturing or quality control applications.
