The World of Quality, Test & Measurement

From signal switching and coherent modulation to frequency analysis and laser triangulation, new technologies are expanding the boundaries of quality, test and measurement.

Presented by Jim Brennan, News Anchor, GlobalSpec

Faster Fiber: Analyzing 100Gb/s coherent signals

Serial communications in fiber breaks the 100 Gb/s barrier with coherent modulation, but you now need constellation diagrams, Q plots and polarization analysis to understand signal quality. Optametra's solutions paired with real-time scopes enable comprehensive analysis and data presentation, so you're no longer in the dark

Presented by Daniel van der Weide, VP of Engineering, Optametra, LLC

1:00 PM - 1:30 PM EDT (10:00 AM - 10:30 AM PDT)

Networking Lounge Scheduled Chat: "How to Design and Test Your Product for Export"

Hosted by Dan Beeler, IPS Technician, Interpower Corporation

1:30 PM - 2:30 PM EDT (10:30 AM - 11:30 AM PDT)

The Importance of Signal Switching for Test

Signal switching for test is often left to the last portion of planning and design. This can create problems in that switching affects measurement accuracy, repeatability, and useable life of the system. This presentation will discuss the switching questions to ask when designing a system. Diagnostics will be discussed as a method of ensuring accuracy.

Presented by Bob Stasonis, Americas/Asia Sales & Marketing Director, Pickering Interfaces

Detecting Power Blackouts Before They Happen

The power grid is controlled by detecting the frequency of the power signal. The ability to quickly detect changes in this signal improves power regulation and is useful to end users who want to save data before the loss of power.

Presented by Michael Harney, President, Signal Display Systems

3:00 PM - 4:00 PM EDT (12:00 PM - 1:00 PM PDT)

Thickness Measurement Using Laser Triangulation

Because many fabrication processes require accurate thickness control, traditional sensor applications are giving way to laser displacement sensors – especially as they go down in price and up in accuracy. In this presentation, attendees will gain a better understanding of the applications, as well as pitfalls, for this relatively new class of sensors.

Presented by Don Welch, Director of New Business Development, MTI Instruments
