New single battery charger for point2point units released
PPM Test is pleased to bring to the market a new single battery charger for its point2point units. The charger includes a number of key upgrades to improve performance, such as NiMH/NiCd Pack 35 W fast charging and ΔV full charge sensing, followed by a trickle charge. The battery charger has other beneficial features within its design including a 2-pin IEC 320 input connection and safety timer. Continue reading
Los Alamos National Laboratory chooses point2point
World famous Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) in New Mexico, USA has again chosen PPM Test to supply RF over fibre to support their work. LANL have chosen to use multiple DC-coupled links which, unlike AC-coupled links, use 14-bit sampling to digitise the RF signal before transmission over fibre. This digitisation allows point2point DC links to support low frequency ranges. Continue reading
Loughborough University select point2point for exploding wire research
The Plasma and Pulsed Power Group (P3G) at Loughborough University have selected PPM’s point2point RF over fibre links for their research into exploding wire physics and technology. During the testing, a shock wave, an explosion and a high intensity light source are created which are passed onto a point2point RF over fibre link for transmission. Continue reading
SINTEF chooses point2point RF over fibre for high-power research
The Foundation for Scientific and Industrial Research (SINTEF) in Norway has chosen point2point RF over fibre links to support its high-power research. SINTEF plans to use the point2point DC-modulated links for a variety of applications, including monitoring three-phase systems in the grid and industrial applications using inverter-fed motors.
