Saelig Introduces Low Cost 10MHz DDS Function Generator With Quasi-Analog Control

Fairport, NY, USA: Saelig Company, Inc.(www.saelig.com) has introduced the TG1006 – a DDS-based 1mHz to 10MHz function generator that, unlike other digital generators, can be operated over any frequency range using analog control in addition to numeric or spin-wheel frequency entry. The quasi-analog frequency control can rapidly sweep the frequency between preset limits, which is difficult to do with most digital function generators. This is particularly useful … Read More → "Saelig Introduces Low Cost 10MHz DDS Function Generator With Quasi-Analog Control"

Temperature Controller Provides User-Friendly Accessibility and Data Retrieval

The 5R7-570(A) RoHS compliant  is a open board temperature controller is specifically de-signed with a proportional integral control algorithm to pro-vide the most precise control to thermoelectric (Peltier effect) modules at the most economical price. The H bridge control provides a seamless transition between heating and cooling eliminating dead spots. Green LED for heat and blue LED for cooling indicate mode and simultaneous illumination indicates the load circuit is off due to an open sensor. Pulse Width Modulation controls the power level in the thermoelectric module at a base frequency of 1Khz. Power resolution is one … Read More → "Temperature Controller Provides User-Friendly Accessibility and Data Retrieval"
