2010-01-11 Service Release: Bode Analyzer Suite V2.23 launched

With the beginning of the year 2010 we have officially released  a new version of the Bode Analyzer Suite. The version V2.23 is a service release and offers the following improvements in comparison to the so far available V2.21:

  • Improved Phase performance at low frequencies
  • Data/Memory function for impedance and admittance fixed
  • Enhanced CSV Export (more data exported)

You can download the Bode Analyzer Suite V2.23 in our download area.

The next major release (V2.3) with a lot more enhancements is planned for spring 2010. Readers of our newsletter will be among the first to learn about the new features. So make sure that you are registered.


2009-10-20 European Web Shop - a new shopping experience

2009-10-20 European Web Shop - a new shopping experience

The European Web Shop was created in order to provide you with a fast, simple and comfortable way to choose and order the OMICRON Lab product you require for your measuring tasks.
Customers from all European Union countries as well as Switzerland, Norway & Iceland can use this web shop at the moment.

During the development of the European Web Shop we focused on the creation of a platform which offers detailed information about all featured products in combination with a straight forward and easy handling.
Just have a look at www.omicron-lab.com/shop.

Our next target is to offer the same benefits to our US customers by migrating our US Web Shop to the new Web Shop system as well.


2009-06-08 Wideband Injection Transformer B-WIT 100 launched

2009-06-08 Wideband Injection Transformer B-WIT 100 launched

One key application of the Bode 100 is the stability analysis of switched mode power supplies. For such an analysis it is necessary to inject the source signal of the Bode 100 into the control loop, usually into the feedback part of the loop. For this purpose an injection transformer is required. OMICRON Lab is now offering an own solution for this problem. The B-WIT 100 was especially developed for the signal insertion using low impedances. This ensures that the transformer's influence on the control loop is minimized.

2009-02-26 Automation Interface Programming Examples Released

2009-02-26 Automation Interface Programming Examples Released

Performing the same measurement over and over again is a pretty boring thing. But by using Bode 100's Automation Interface it is possible to delegate such tasks to an automated measurement setup. To simplify your entry into the world of automated measurements with Bode 100 we have now added automation examples for the most commonly used programming languages and automation programs.

 For more information visit our Automation Interface section.


2009-01-20 OMICRON Lab's new Bode Analyzer Suite V 2.21 released - Get automated!

2009-01-20 OMICRON Lab's new Bode Analyzer Suite V 2.21 released - Get automated!

These days improving efficiency is a big issue in every aspect of our daily business - especially in production. Therefore automated measurements are continuously gaining importance. With the new Bode Analyzer Suite we focused on this important topic by implementing ALL functionalities of the Bode 100 for its OLE Automation Interface. Furthermore we added a very useful function to the frequency sweep modes.

So what is new in the Bode Analyzer Suite V2.21?

  • All functions of Bode 100 were implemented to the OLE  Automation Interface (AI).
    • The Frequency Sweep (ext. coupler) Mode has been added.
    • The VSWR Format is now supported by the AI
    • The new unwrapped Phase function is supported.
    • ...

  • Save & Load complete equipment configuration via the Automation Interface for automated switching between measurements.

  • The Unwrapped Phase function available in the Frequency Sweep and the Frequency Sweep (External Coupler) modes allows switching from the wrapped phase reading (+/- 180°) to a continuous phase reading. This function is very useful for applications such as the calculation of phase delay times. (For more information refer to the according manual extension.)

  • Improved CSV Export (Full ANSI compatibility)

Again many of the implemented features and improvements were proposed by our customers. We are very happy to get such excellent input and ideas.  Many thanks for your great support that helped us to further improve the Bode Analyzer Suite. 

Have fun working with Bode 100 and benefit from the possibilities the new Bode Analyzer Suite provides for you!

P.S: The new Bode Analyzer Suite V2.21 can be downloaded free of charge.
