LCR-meter Smart Tweezers now feature blue tooth communication ports connecting LCR-meters and PCs; can transfer and record measurement data. Port is for incoming electronic component control and for keeping logs of performed measurements. Measurement data are sent to the PC in text format containing time stamp, component type and component value; creates a log file. Data can be captured in a spreadsheet and/or in a database. Designed for component evaluation on a production line, PCB impedance testing, and component sorting. Have reported accuracy of 0.2%; test signal of 0.25, 0.5 and 1 Vrms; component sorting with 1, 5, 10 and 20%, and handle components as small as 0201.

SR-750 Series of fixed mount 1D and 2D barcode readers has new and advanced decoding algorithms. Pre-processing techniques, such as brightness and contrast threshold correction, along with significantly enhanced image filtering capabilities ensure images are optimized prior to decoding. Upgraded processing, including localized binary threshold settings for unique regions of the code, are for direct part marking applications. Features long range (over 3') and wide field of view models. Has built-in communication and increased connectivity, including EtherNet/IP, TCP/IP, PROFINET, FTP, RS-232c, Power over Ethernet and data editing functionality. Automatically adjust lighting and image filtering settings with one click.
