Philips PM3585 Logic Analyser, 200MHz
HP 4951C Communications Protocol Analyser

Audio Test Equipment

HP 8903B Audio Analyser
Stanford SR780 Audio Spectrum (FFT) Analyser

Environmental Test Equipment

Thermotron S-1.2C Environmental Chamber, -73C to +177C, 1.2 cubic feet

Other meters, power supplies, counters, loads, signal generators, scopes and analysers are also available.

All Ionocom's core RF test equipment is HPIB controllable. We have extensive experience writing and using automated test programs, using a variety of tools, including writing automated programs for regulatory compliance testing.

All Ionocom's test equipment used for performance verification can be calibrated to NIST-traceable standards.

Assembly

We have facilities to produce prototype units, including leaded and surface mount assembly equipment. We can handle large leaded parts and surface mount parts down to 0402 size and beyond. We have a large 40x stereo microscope to assist with surface mount assembly, rework and inspection. Our work area is ESD-safe.

Workshop

Sherline 5400 Vertical Mill

We have a workshop area equipped with a small vertical mill and various other tools that allow us to fabricate small mechanical piece parts and to machine enclosures for prototypes.
