More Product Information

The CSR family of calibration substrates delivers the highest accuracy available due to the high quality of each substrate. The calibration standards are manufactured using rugged, hard gold, which ensures a long lifetime.

The automotive industry is a sector frequently on the cusp of transformation. Fast-paced industry shifts span technology innovations, regulatory standards, green initiatives, and customer expectations, influencing manufacturers’ testing needs, growth objectives, and overall business strategies. Companies striving for a competitive edge focus on sustainable practices, regulatory compliance, and innovation in Electric Vehicles (EVs), alternative fuels, and autonomous driving systems. This positions the automotive industry in vital need of testing facilities that are future-proofed for rapid and ongoing transformation.

The award winning VXI Modular Instrumentation Platform (VMIP™) provides customers with a level of modularity for instruments that is unmatched in the industry. The VMIP™ makes a single VXIbus card slot three times more powerful than single device solutions. Each VMIP™ instrument can be mixed and matched with other VMIP™ devices for added flexibility.
