CHICAGO -- Newark
InOne, a small-quantity distributor of electronics components and test
equipment, has added to its product line pre-calibrated test equipment, an expanded range of panel
instrumentation, and custom capabilities for analog and digital panel meters, and
controllers.
In a statement, the company said its Newark InOne
Services metrology lab in Colorado is calibrating clamp meters, digital
multimeters, oscilloscopes and benchtop power supplies from
Fluke, Tektronix, Agilent, B&K, Amprobe and Megger. Certification with data accompanies all test equipment.
"Newark InOne Services is all about saving our customers time and increasing their
productivity," said Paul Tallentire, president, Newark InOne. "When you buy a
scope or meter from us that's already been calibrated, you can start using it from day
one."

Instrumentation and transferred all of its business and employees to create the new
division.
PALO ALTO -- King Yuan Electronics Corp., an integrated back-end service provider in Taiwan,
has purchased an Agilent Technologies 93000 Pin Scale system to add to its Agilent
93000 installed base. The system will be used for testing complex SOCs
(systems-on-a-chip) for applications such as PCI Express, Serial ATA
and HyperTransport.
"We are
seeing a growing demand for the 93000 Pin Scale system, especially from
customers wanting faster and more economical test solutions for
high-complexity, high-accuracy SOC devices," said Gauss Chang, KYEC
assistant vice president in charge of sales, marketing and platform
evaluation. "We chose the 93000 Pin Scale system because it gives us
the flexibility to measure a wide range of devices with very high
accuracy at a low cost of test."
The system supports up to 2,048 pins -- enough for multisite test or
high-pin-count devices. The tester scales to 3.6 Gb/s to
address high-speed interface applications targeted for KYEC's
system.
