Oscilloscope… 6–in–1 versatility, high performance
TEKTRONIX
has introduced the new MDO4000C oscilloscope that
includes up to six built-in instruments, (spectrum analyser, arbitrary/
function generator, logic analyser, protocol analyser and digital volt
meter/frequency counter).The MDO4000C Series, when configured
with an integrated spectrum analyser, is the only instrument that
provides simultaneous and synchronised acquisition of analogue,
digital and RF signal analysis ‒ ideal for wireless communications in
IoT and EMI troubleshooting.
Embedded design:
Discovers and solves issues by performing
system level debug on mixed signal embedded systems including
today’s most common serial bus and wireless technologies.
Power design:
Makes reliable and repeatable voltage, current and
power measurements using automated power quality, switch-
ing loss, harmonics, ripple, modulation and safe operating
areameasurements with the widest selection of power probes
in an affordable solution.
EMI troubleshooting:
Tracks the source of EMI in an embed-
ded system by determining which time domain signals may
be causing unwanted EMI. Observations in real-time of the
effects time domain signals have on system EMI emissions.
Wireless troubleshooting:
Whether using Bluetooth,
802.11Wi-Fi, ZigBee, or some other wireless technology, the
MDO4000C enables viewing an entire system - analogue, digi-
tal and RF, time-synchronised to understand its true behaviour.
ManufacturingTest andTroubleshooting:
Size and space
constraints can play havoc on a manufacturing floor. The
unique 6-in-1 MDO4000C minimises rack or bench space
by integrating multiple instruments into one small package.

operator in Congo
Master PowerTechnologies (MPT)
is delivering a turnkeymod-
ular data centre solution to a telecoms company in Brazzaville,
in the Republic of Congo. The solution is to be delivered as
a set of modular, pre-tested containers that comprise a self-
contained data centre.The telecoms giant wanted to expand
an existing site in Brazzaville and earmarked an old building
for the new data centre.The solution devised by MPT was a
two-storey, modular data centre.The solution is self-sufficient
and able to run indefinitely without access to external power
sources. The energy component takes up the ground floor
of the building to ensure the data centre is self-sufficient,
and consisted of generators, a bulk fuel supply and security
controls. Rory Reid, sales and marketing manager at Master
Power says the data centre has been divided into two levels
of 340 m
2
each. The first level contains five Emerson 80 kW
HVAC units and the second level contains three units. All in
all, the equipment MPT supplied and built into the containers
for the project includes:
• 3 200 A low-voltage panels
• Two 500 kW UPS systems
• Two 2 400 A rectifiers
• Three 1 000 kVA FG Wilson generators
• One 28 000 litre diesel fuel tank
MPT will also install 122 cold aisle racks for IT equipment,
although this can be expanded as required by the client.The
full solution of eight modular containers was assembled
and tested in South Africa by MPT before being shipped to
Brazzaville.
