RE: Catching What Swept Analyzers Miss: Lab Grade Wideband RF Analysis in a Handheld Platform

I have used one before (not the same model though) :)

I wonder how much computing power is needed to process continuous flow of > 1Gb/s of measurement data in realtime

perfect candidate for a roadtest :) I know, I know, but very expensive equipment also sometimes appears in roadtests (for example B&K DAS60 roadtest)

RE: How TVS Diodes Protect Industrial and Embedded Electronics from Voltage Surges?

BigG — Fri, 17 Jul 2026 13:52:53 GMT

Something that annoys the heck out of me - there's no parametric search options on distributor websites for ESD (IEC 61000-4-2), EFT (IEC 61000-4-4) and Surge standards (IEC 61000-4-5).

It's also not always clear in Yageo's datasheets which standards apply. I seem to struggle to find ones that are EFT compliant.

I found this reference on the Newark site that adds some more details. https://www.newark.com/technical-resources/guides/tvs-diodes-101-to-choose-the-right-circuit-protection

RE: Achieving Deterministic Latency with the AMD Kria™︎ K24 SOM

Interesting SoM for the DSP Applications! It's more comapct than the k26. I hope this will be availabe for a roadtest as Avnet's K24 Dev kit or as a webinar giveaway.

RE: Accelerating Innovation with the AMD Kria™︎ KR260 Robotics Starter Kit

The Sony IMX547 Camera for the KR260 is quite hard to get hands on. I'd like to try it out, but the price and availability make it harder to get.

AMD (Xilinx) has done an impressive job making this kit usable without necessarily needing to become an FPGA guru. It isn't quite a plug-and-play kit, more like a copy/paste kit but that is light years easier than bare metal design & programming of an FPGA application with attendant software drivers etc.

I'd love to try a road test with the products

we got away from dealing with these folks. Theyre about standard fare for complexity. I've never been able to get any decent support out of them. For myself, a worker in an automation systems organization, with the frequent task of having to stream line production automation Im always amazed when companies present some half hour demo on a single provisioning application. its like bruh, the faster I get your products in our units, the more money we all make. How the heck do we make this 30 minute process a 1 minute process, and completely remove the possibility of human error? you train a human to do it. isnt a good answer. Any guy we got with the skill to memorize whatever crazy bs interface these companies come up with is a personnel resource that could be better utilized doing anything else.

Ive seen a bunch of these anybus gateways come back, usually due to onsite deployment compatibility issues. which is kinda the same thing, if it were simple, maybe an onsite tech could fix it. instead, they call us, we struggle then conclude its some artificially imposed barrier to keeping these products unusable. Fun fact, Anybus is a Mitsubishi subsidiary, and Mitsubishi is my company's primary competitor. of course I think only my boss and myself know that. we don't care, it was funny for a while though. We just cant afford all the time these products take to configure on any given site post provisioning. We need stuff that just works, every time, no fuss.

MSA doesnt have a better product, they have better support.

Let's hope that whatever challenge you come up with is a bit easier to complete than the experimenting with industrial automation program. It's very difficult to just "learn" industrial controls without code examples and good software documentation/tutorials.

RE: How Can the High Voltage Intelligent Battery Shunt Reference Design Benefit You?

robogary — Tue, 04 Nov 2025 17:36:37 GMT

Im kinda surprised to see USB rather than canbus. Im also kinda surprised to not see an optical interface to apply the shunt in higher current and voltage applications, broader than just EVs.

Following up on M comment, the graphics for components don't align. The buy ad for the power strip graphic are not the same.
