All-in-one benchtop test equipment boosts functionality

NATIONAL INSTRUMENTS High-performance model of VirtualBench, a software-based all-in-one instrument that combines a mixed-signal oscilloscope, function generator, digital multimeter, programmable dc power supply and digital I/O. With 350MHz of bandwidth, four analog channels and Ethernet connectivity, the new version increases functionality for engineers characterizing and debugging new designs or automated test systems. Users still interact with VirtualBench through free upgradable software applications that run on PCs or iPads for an easy, unified software experience for all five instruments.  http://www.ni.com/virtualbench
