Electronic Troubleshooting Enters a New Dimension; New hand-held product from Regal Electronics is a veritable pocket lab.of troubleshooting and calibrating instruments have been combined into a unique new product half the size of a cellular phone. The new RE-57 Series from Regal Electronics is a hand-held, battery operated, frequency generator and time analyzer that makes it possible to conduct precision circuit tests, in the laboratory as well as at remote and hard to reach locations. The RE-57 has been designed to meet the engineering requirements in a wide cross-section of process control applications, in industrial and medical environments. The ability to accurately measure liquid flow rates, on the shop floor or in a hospital room, makes the new product an invaluable diagnostic tool. "No one should be deceived by the small size of the RE-57," says Robert Landon, Regal Electronics divisional manager. "The only thing that's missing is a large price tag." Available functions include frequency and duty cycle or proportional measurement, frequency generation and real time flow rate calculations (computed by entering a constant via the keypad A small keyboard or supplementary keyboard keys; for example, the keys on a calculator or the number/cursor cluster on a computer keyboard. See programmable keypad. ). The RE-57 standard output frequency waveform The shape of a signal.

The instrument's retail price ranges between $1,400 to $1,649, depending on the configuration, and comes with a 1-year warranty. Delivery is off-the-shelf.
