This sits in the lower-middle of the Laboratory & Precision Equipment band — a mid-scale opportunity. Based on 9,869 valued Laboratory & Precision Equipment tenders in our corpus.

The brief

The National Physical Laboratory [NPL] requirement is for an Oscilloscope to automate collection and measurement of waveforms and device responses.

Amongst other applications the purpose of the instrument is to measure and record rise time and sub-nanosecond switching times of novel semiconductor devices.

The Asset must be standalone and bench or rack mountable and controllable through ethernet and GPIB/USB (optional).

The Asset must be capable (either as supplied or upgradeable) of receiving and recording both analog and digital waveforms with at least a maximum input voltage of 2 Vrms¬.

The Asset should have a bandwidth of at least 8 GHz, with a rise time <100 ps at 8 GHz.

The Asset's input channels should have at least a 50 Ohm impedance (other additional impedances are desirable such as 1 MOhms).

The Asset should have at least 10-bit ADC resolution (allowing a reduction at maximum sampling rate).

The asset should have the capability to be upgraded for additional bandwidth upgrades, features or measurement capabilities.
