Used NICOLET 446B #9100824 for sale

NICOLET 446B is an electronic test and measurement instrument that is commonly used by engineers for data analysis and troubleshooting. It is capable of performing a variety of measurements, including circuit parameters, electrical signals, radio-frequency signals, and digital signals. It can also be used for system performance characterization and diagnostics. 446B features an entirely modular architecture that includes a mainframe, power supplies, application-specific modules, and optional accessories. The mainframe houses the best-in-class electronics measurement functions, and the supplies deliver the requisite power for each measurement type. Application-specific modules can be purchased to increase the capabilities of the equipment, including time-domain reflectometers (TDRs), vector signal generators and analyzers, magnetic resonance imagers (MRI), and optical switches. Optional accessories such as test leads, probes, antennas, attenuators, and directional couplers are necessary for certain applications. The mainframe of NICOLET 446B is composed of a controller board, interconnected signals sections, high-speed analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), and high-speed digital-to-analog converters (DACs). The controller board houses the electronics control and measurement functions, and it is connected to various signal sections that support different measurement capabilities. The signals sections can analyze signals up to 12 GHz in frequency, and they can accurately measure parameters such as time delay, frequency selection, phase shift, and signal level. The analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters in 446B can operate with tremendous accuracy, up to 12-bit resolution in both directions. This enables users to accurately measure and control various signal types including analog, digital, and frequency-domain signals. Additionally, the instrument is designed to maximize system speed, providing users with a stable and reliable measurement environment. NICOLET 446B is particularly useful for troubleshooting and debugging communication, radar, and other signal-related systems. With its modular architecture and wide range of measurement capabilities, it is an indispensable tool for design engineers, test engineers, and researchers looking to analyze, diagnose, and optimize their systems. The high accuracy of the instrument and built-in flexibility make it a favorite among many engineers and technicians.
