Pininfarina’s new Ground Effect Simulation System uses three belts in combination to simulate ground effects. Installed in the full-scale Automotive Wind Tunnel of the Pininfarina Aerodynamic Centre in Grugliasco (Turin), the new system costs 4 million euros and replaces the single-belt system installed in 1995.
The new system is part of Pininfarina’s strategy to extend the […]

The LXI Consortium has released revision 1.1 of the LXI Standard. In addition to clarification of language, the standard now includes a section on the use of non-LXI devices within LXI-based systems.
“Section 15, Hybrid Systems, is a significant addition to the LXI Standard because it makes life easier for system integrators,” said Bob Rennard, LXI […]

The N5430A user-definable function option enables Agilent Infiniium oscilloscope users to create and execute application-specific measurements. This option makes it possible for Infiniium oscilloscope users to develop custom math and analysis functions in the MATLAB(r) software environment and execute them live on the oscilloscope screen, just like any of the scope’s standard functions.
The Agilent Infiniium […]
