We are pleased to announce the winner of the Amplicon Test and Measurement Shop prize draw.

The winner of the Agilent Handheld LCR meter worth over £200 is Dev Banerjee from PG Drives Technology.
 
Dev Banerjee, principal engineer at PG Drives Technology commented: "I'm very pleased to have won the Agilent U1733C. This will help me go the extra meter."
 
Thank you to all of you that took part in Amplicon’s Test and Measurement Shop free prize draw.

We are pleased to announce the winner of the Amplicon and Pico Technology prize draw.

The winner of the PicoScope 4227 Kit worth £900, is Robert Norris from Qinetiq.

Robert Norris, Spacecraft Integration GSE Manager at Qinetiq commented: “I was delighted to win the PicoScope 4227 Kit,  this definitely breaks the “I never win anything” rule for me.  We do use hand-held scopes but have no experience with the Pico brand and are looking forward to putting it through its paces”.

Thank you to all of you that took part in the Amplicon free prize draw.

Amplicon’s Measurement & Control Group has launched the new Agilent U1730C Series of Handheld LCR Meters.

The new Agilent U1730C Series LCR meter offers greater measurement accuracy, broader frequency coverage and wider test ranges. Engineers can now measure a wide range of test frequencies of up to 100 KHz, a capability typically found only in benchtop meters; better yet, the battery lasts up to 16 hours which makes it ideal for testing on the go.
These LCR meters also cover wide measurement parameters including Z, L, C, R, DCR, ESR as well as D, Q, and Θ for more detailed component analysis; making the U1730C Series ideal both in component evaluations on the production line and for fundamental impedance testing.
 
Agilent’s new U1730C Series LCR meters let engineers and technicians perform quick, basic measurements at their convenience. Compared to its predecessors, noteworthy enhancements include selectable test frequencies up to 100 kHz (U1733C) and 0.2 per cent measurement accuracy. The U1730C Series also includes automatic component identification, which displays the device type and detailed analysis of parameters such as total impedance, DC resistance and equivalent series resistance.

Amplicon proudly announce its partnership with Pico Technology, a worldwide leader in the design, development and manufacture of high-performance PC Oscilloscopes and Data Loggers.

For over 35 years, Amplicon has been the UK’s number one distributor and manufacturer of high quality Test & Measurement and Data Acquisition products that are specifically designed to meet both budgetary and technical requirements; from low-cost, entry level through to high-precision integrated solutions.

This partnership with Pico Technology has enabled Amplicon to boost its product portfolio to provide leading edge, innovative Test & Measurement and Data Acquisition solutions.

James Okpeh, Amplicon Measurement & Control Product Specialist commented: - The partnership with Pico Technology underlines Amplicon’s on going commitment to provide our customers with high quality products and solutions.

We are pleased to announce the 3 lucky winners of Amplicon's Test and Measurement Shop Anniversary Prize draw.

The winner of the 1st prize, a fabulous Data Logger valued at over £1,500, is Donald Blyth.

Donald Blyth, Chief Engineer at Selex Galileo commented: “Thank you for prize. I would like to say that Amplicon are doing a great job in the support, design and manufacture of complete configured test rack solutions and saving money for Selex.”

The winners of the 2nd and 3rd prize, a high quality handheld Agilent DMM, are Lee Wiltshire and Robert Gardner.

Robert Gardner, Testing Design Engineer at Network Rail commented: “When I found out I was the winner of the Amplicon prize I thought what a pleasant surprise! I don’t normally take the time to enter competitions what with all the work I’m involved in upgrading Network Rail’s telecoms infrastructure. Furthermore, as a former employee of Agilent Technologies, working in their Research Laboratories, I know the Digital Multi-meter will be a top class, quality piece of equipment, so I was even more delighted to be a winner.”

Thank you to all of you that took part in the Test and Measurement Shop first year anniversary celebrations.
