Organized by the measurement problem, not by model number

Applications

A catalog answers "what can this instrument do". These pages answer "what does this measurement problem need". Each one starts from the situation: the quantity you have to measure, the confidence the result must carry, and the conditions on site. It then says which instrument covers which part, and links to the product specifications and to the technical articles behind them.

Circuit board assembly on an electronics production line Pendulum

Oscillator & Clock Module Production Test

Parallel multi-channel counting, gap-free statistics and data automation: measure frequency, jitter and start-up behavior of every oscillator in a single fixture cycle.

Metrology and calibration laboratory Pendulum

Time & Frequency Reference and Traceability for Calibration Labs

From a GNSS-disciplined rubidium reference and stand-alone high-stability sources to distributing 10 MHz to every bench: building a traceability chain you can explain.

Pyrotechnic work area inside a satellite integration facility AMPTEC

Safe Resistance Testing of Igniters, Squibs and Pyrotechnic Devices

Test current never exceeds 8 mA under any fault. When you measure resistance on bridgewires, detonators and explosive bolts, the instrument's safety ceiling matters more than its resolution.

Ballistic Velocity and Chamber Pressure Measurement

From muzzle velocity and downrange time of flight to the pressure-time curve: replace catalog values with measured data and build interior and exterior ballistics capability in the ammunition lab.

Telecom base station tower at night Pendulum

Telecom Network Timing: Jitter, Wander and 1-PPS Verification

From raw TIE data to MTIE and TDEV, from verifying a GPSDO's 1-PPS offset to comparing eight sync sources at once: put numbers on network timing problems.

Engineer operating a Detectus near-field scanning system Pendulum

EMC/EMI Near-Field Scanning and Pre-Compliance Testing

The test house only tells you which frequency failed. A near-field scan tells you which component and which trace on the board it is coming from.

Commercial airliner in flight AMPTEC

Airframe Bonding and Ground Continuity Acceptance Testing

At milliohm bond resistances a two-wire meter mostly reads its own probes. Four-wire Kelvin measurement, test current, checking for stray voltage before you connect, and building an acceptance record that holds up.

Radar Test: Target Simulation and Calibration Reflectors

No real targets and no field trips: synthesize range, velocity and RCS echoes electronically, then calibrate the whole radar back with a trihedral reflector of known RCS.

Board-Level Repair and Reverse Engineering for Avionics and Defence Electronics

The OEM has ended support and the schematics are long gone, but the board has another ten years of service ahead. Component-level fault location, schematic recovery and counterfeit screening of spares, all without documentation.

In-house Circuit Board Repair for Rail and Heavy Industry

When the control boards in your fleet or your line are obsolete and spares take six months, repairing them yourself is often the only way to keep downtime in check.
