05 December 2024 - Yamaha Robotics SMT section presented innovations in high-speed surface-mount inspection at electronica 2024, demonstrating the latest AI skills and special features for applications including LED lighting, e-mobility, and mechatronics. Yamaha’s YRi-V 2D/3D automatic optical inspection (AOI) systems now come with special features that simplify checking the alignment and spacing of components such as LED arrays and position detectors. These help cut the setup time for inspecting densely populated automotive and architectural lighting assemblies, as well as electric drives and mechatronics that contain Hall sensors for brushless motor control.
04 December 2024 – Advantest announced a new power multiplexer developed specifically for use on the V93000 EXA Scale SoC test platform. The PMUX02 Power MUX offers unprecedented capabilities for multi-site testing of power and analog devices, including battery management systems (BMS), automotive, and power management ICs. With 22 switches – nearly double the switch density of its predecessor – and an extended voltage range of ±160 volts (V), PMUX02 will help streamline and reduce the cost-of-test for these high-pin-count, mixed-signal devices.

02 December 2024 – Anritsu Corporation has joined the OpenROADM Multi-Source Agreement (MSA), which defines specifications that facilitate multi-vendor interoperability for optical transmission networks. Anritsu’s participation in these efforts aims to enhance efficiency and flexibility of the optical transmission network. As Test & Measurement instrument vendor, Anritsu’s OpenROADM activities contribute to the openness and efficiency of optical transmission networks by promoting interconnect specifications and interoperability verification.
29 November 2024 - Tektronix announced the new TICP Series IsoVu isolated current probes. TICP IsoVu probes are the industry’s first current shunt probes to use RF isolation, providing complete galvanic isolation between measurement systems and devices under test, delivering high-bandwidth, low-noise current measurements in high-voltage applications compared to existing probes on the market or alternative shunt measurement techniques. Available in bandwidths up to 1 GHz, these probes enable engineers to capture accurate measurements of fast-changing currents on their oscilloscopes across a wide voltage range in nanoseconds – from microamps to kiloamps.
28 November 2024 – XJTAG, a global provider of electronic testing and programming solutions for prototyping and manufacture, showed a preview at Electronica 2024 of its latest hardware product, the XJLink-PF40 JTAG controller, due for release in 2025. The XJLink-PF40 is designed to handle the challenges of complex, high-density circuit boards, making it an ideal tool for PCB engineers from prototype debug to manufacturing test. With up to eight JTAG TAPs over 40 I/O pins, the XJLink-PF40 enables multiple test access points to one unit under test (UUT), expanding test coverage for the most demanding applications.
27 November 2024 - Rohde & Schwarz and ETS-Lindgren continue their long‑standing partnership to deliver comprehensive over‑the‑air (OTA) testing solutions for next‑generation wireless technologies. ETS-Lindgren has integrated the CMX500 one‑box signaling tester and R&S SMBV100B vector signal generator from Rohde & Schwarz into its EMQuest software. This collaboration supports the latest standards, including 5G FR1, 5G FR2, Wi‑Fi 7 and A-GNSS.
