BROMMA, SWEDEN — December 20, 2010 — Spectracom, a company of the Orolia Group (NYSE Alternext Paris – FR0010501015 – ALORO) and a global provider of time and frequency test and measurement solutions, today announced the launch of Pendulum TimeView Modulation Domain Analyzer software package. Designed to support critical test functions, TimeView 3 turns your Pendulum CNT-91 timer/counter into an advanced,  real time measurement analyzer. Applications include analysis of pulsed RF in radar equipment, real time monitoring of short-term stability in synthesizers and test of frequency control components. This enhanced version also emulates the behavior of Agilent’s discontinued model 53310A.

An MDA (Modulation Domain Analyzer) can visualize frequency variations over time, just as oscilloscopes show voltage variations over time. “Most MDA tools on the market are very expensive instruments and many companies may never be able to afford the measurement analysis they would need. Pendulum TimeView meets these requirements at a fraction of the cost of existing analyzers,” says Staffan Johansson, test & measurement expert at Spectracom.

Spectracom’s MDA solution consists of two parts:
• CNT-91 Frequency Analyzer, as fast sampling front end
• TimeView 3 MDA software, running on a PC

TimeView 3 builds on the features available in the existing version 2.1, but has an even more user-friendly graphical interface and more automated settings to meet user requirements. New features include the Agilent 53310A emulation mode, precise FM calibration, new post-processing functions including wander metrics (MTIE and TDEV), and improved pulsed RF visualization. TimeView 3 is available for immediate deliveries.
