Hamlet Adds Fibre Capacity To Popular Handheld Test Device

IBC 2009 saw the unveiling of the latest module for the popular Hamlet Flexiscope.
The new module adds fibre connectivity to the test signal generator option, so engineers can check fibre circuits end to end with a single device.
The new module is in the standard form factor, so it can be used in any Hamlet digital platform: the hand portable Flexiscope, its smaller version MicroFlex, the on-screen display MonitorScope and the fixed installation appliance LCDScope.
The fibre module, which was shown as a technology demonstration, is a variant of the existing TSG module, which offers both signal generation and test in the same device.
It joins a range of modules which cover the complete range of signal measurement from A/V and SD through HD to 3Gb/s. Some modules include the capability of analysing the integrity of a digital circuit and displaying it as an eye pattern, widely recognised as the most practical test.
Steve Nunney, Director of Hamlet, said: "We added the eye pattern to the Flexiscope in response to requests from customers.
"Over the last few months, eye pattern modules have been flying off the shelves. With an increasing use of fibre in installations, we are sure that the new module will be equally popular."
