CalcuQuote is a web-based application for managing requests for quote (RFQ) for printed circuit board assemblies. Uses a custom algorithm for assemblers to convert simple user inputs into mathematical calculations. Users can open new requests for quote, use workflows to manage tasks between quote team members, follow up on open quotes and track sales and process metrics to gauge performance. Is ITAR compliant, does not require any hardware investment and offers free installation and initial consultation.

VXT PXIe vector transceiver is a fully calibrated instrument module that provides vector signal generation and analysis in four slots for test of wireless components and IoT devices. Eases creation of test solutions for power amplifiers (PA) and front-end modules (FEM) by means of ready-to-run software and FPGA-accelerated measurements. To reduce programming time, includes an open-source PA Reference Solution that includes proven system configurations and example software routines for PA and FEM testing. Includes real-time FFTs that enable high-speed measurements of signal power and adjacent-channel power ratio (ACPR). Built-in servo routine is said to quickly reach an accurate, optimized final setting for PA output level. Up to four VXT modules can run in a single 18-slot PXI chassis. Single-chassis solutions also feasible. Covers 60 MHz to 6 GHz and provides 160 MHz I/Q bandwidth in both vector signal generation and analysis. With a maximum of +18dBm output power, to compensate for signal losses through switch matrices.

The RV-2 is a compact, inline, single-lane PWB inspection machine. Includes Clear Vision Capturing System; can pick up a clear image for 0.4mm × 0.2mm size chips or solder fillets. Can detect defects in high-density mounting board. Calibration technology adjusts distortion of XY axis and lens, lighting individual differences.  Reportedly, stable inspection results with no machine differences can be captured when running the same inspection program on several lines. TOPSS enables central controls of OK/NG judgment, quality traceability, and inspection results’ statistical analysis. Standard i-3D function with luminance difference stereo system enables clear capturing of 3D pictures for inspecting solder volumes, height and area for 3D SPI.
