TRADE NEWS: Agilent Technologies Introduces Automotive Test Solutions that Simplify Product Debugging, Validation.NUREMBERG, Germany -- Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :A) today introduced multiple product options that help automotive engineers develop their electronic products faster and under budget, while meeting quality requirements. These automotive test products can easily be integrated in complex, automated functional test configurations, which can be leveraged from design validation into production. Agilent is demonstrating the following new products at Embedded World: * The FlexRay option for the Agilent 6000 series mixed signal oscilloscopes, which offers a robust set of FlexRay frame, slot and error triggering, including the ability to trigger on specific FlexRay communications qualified on base-cycle and cycle-repetition. Designers can see a synchronous and time-correlated display of segment and slot-timing boundaries by importing a FIBEX FIBEX Field Bus Exchange file that defines the global FlexRay schedule directly into the 6000 Series mixed signal oscilloscope. More information is available at www.agilent.com/find/flexray_PR. * The FlexRay extension to the Agilent 16800 and 16900 Series logic analyzer, which provides FlexRay packet decoding capabilities and is essential when debugging and validating activity between multiple buses in an automotive system. Analysis includes timing between signals, inverse assembly and packet display for key buses, as well as time-correlation of protocol packets to CPU CPU in full central processing unit Principal component of a digital computer, composed of a control unit, an instruction-decoding unit, and an arithmetic-logic unit. and memory bus activity. Information about the FlexRay standard and the FlexRay Consortium, of which Agilent is a member, can be found at www.flexray.com. "New Advanced Driver Assistance Systems Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, or ADAS, are systems to help the driver in its driver process. When designed with a safe Human-Machine Interface it should increase car safety and more generally road safety. will further connect subsystems within the car, and from cars to cars and cars to the infrastructure," said Roland Jeutter, automotive business manager at Agilent Technologies Germany. "Our new automotive products help to master new technologies and the increasing complexity of these advanced Electronic Control Units." To ensure that the advanced electrical/electronic system of a vehicle stays within the limits for the electromagnetic emissions, Agilent adds support for the widely adopted measurement methods defined in the CISPR CISPR Comité Internationale Spécial des Perturbations Radioelectrotechnique (International Special Committee on Radio Interference, IEC) 25 standard. As unveiled at IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, New York, www.ieee.org) A membership organization that includes engineers, scientists and students in electronics and allied fields. EMC (1) (EMC Corporation, Hopkinton, MA, www.emc.com) The leading supplier of storage products for midrange computers and mainframes. Founded in 1979 by Richard J. Egan and Roger Marino, EMC has developed advanced storage and retrieval technologies for the world's largest companies. 2006, Agilent's fully CISPR 16-compliant solution will be released later this year. In addition to making CISPR 25 measurements, the Agilent solution, which is based on the Performance Spectrum Analyzer (PSA (Professional Services Automation) An information system designed to organize, track and manage all opportunities, work, resources, costs, revenues and invoices to improve the productivity and efficiency of the workforce. ), will allow testing throughput not seen in previous-generation EMI (ElectroMagnetic Interference) An electrical disturbance in a system due to natural phenomena, low-frequency waves from electromechanical devices or high-frequency waves (RFI) from chips and other electronic devices. Allowable limits are governed by the FCC. receivers, at a competitive price. About Agilent Technologies Agilent Technologies Inc.
