Electronic measurement, characterization and automated test

Electronic Test & Validation Systems

Primionics configures and supplies electronic test systems for embedded hardware, RF and microwave circuits, power electronics, sensors and automated validation. SIGLENT bench instruments and Pico Technology PC-based oscilloscopes and data acquisition are integrated with probes, fixtures, switching, control software and calibration planning.

Measurement-system architecture

Measurement confidence begins with the complete signal path.

Instrument specifications alone do not guarantee a defensible measurement. Probe loading, grounding, isolation, source impedance, fixture parasitics, trigger strategy, synchronization and uncertainty must be controlled across the complete signal path.

The resulting system may be an interactive R&D bench, an RF or power characterization setup, a long-duration acquisition platform or an automated station with switching, scripted control, limit evaluation and structured results.

Probe bandwidth, capacitance and connection geometry are part of the measurement uncertainty.
RF source and analyzer levels must account for cable loss, fixtures, attenuation and device protection.
High-voltage and high-energy work requires appropriate isolation, probes, interlocks and safety procedures.
Measurement capability

Instrument platforms for design, characterization and automated validation.

Board bring-up and mixed-signal validation

Capture power rails, clocks, reset sequences, analogue paths and serial buses during board bring-up, firmware integration, characterization and fault investigation.

RF, microwave and connectivity characterization

Combine signal analysis, RF generation, vector network analysis, calibration and switching for filters, amplifiers, cables, antennas and communication subsystems.

Power and semiconductor characterization

Measure switching waveforms, device current-voltage behaviour, converter efficiency, transient response and source/load performance with suitable bandwidth, isolation and protection.

Automated characterization and data acquisition

Use SCPI/VISA control, PicoSDK, multi-channel acquisition, switching and structured data handling for regression, endurance, characterization and production-support measurements.

Instrumentation stack

Time-domain, RF, power and data-acquisition functions in one coordinated system.

SIGLENT oscilloscopes, MSO and waveform generation

Digital and mixed-signal oscilloscopes capture time-domain and protocol behaviour; arbitrary waveform generators reproduce analogue, pulse and selected modulated stimulus.

Select by analogue bandwidth, sample rate, memory depth, vertical resolution, channel count, trigger, serial decoding and segmented-acquisition needs.

SIGLENT spectrum, real-time and vector signal analysis

Spectrum and supported real-time signal analyzers measure frequency-domain power, spurious emissions, occupied bandwidth and intermittent RF activity; selected options extend modulation analysis.

Confirm frequency range, real-time or swept operation, analysis bandwidth, phase noise, displayed average noise level, dynamic range and software options.

SIGLENT vector network analysis, RF generation and switching

VNAs measure S-parameters, insertion loss, return loss and impedance behaviour; RF generators provide controlled CW or model-dependent modulated stimulus, while switch matrices extend multiport setups.

Confirm port count, frequency range, calibration plane, fixture de-embedding, source power, receiver dynamic range and matrix path performance.

DMMs, power supplies, SMUs and electronic loads

DMMs measure precision electrical quantities, power supplies provide regulated stimulus, SMUs source and measure voltage or current, and electronic loads emulate controlled consumption.

Select by voltage, current, power, range resolution, transient response, four-wire sensing, dynamic operating modes and protection behaviour.

PicoScope, PicoSDK and PicoLog systems

PicoScope PC oscilloscopes provide model-dependent high-resolution or deep-memory acquisition and broad protocol decoding. PicoSDK supports custom applications, while PicoLog supports multi-channel electrical and environmental recording.

Confirm input range, bandwidth, resolution, channel isolation, decoder support, streaming or block capture, API requirements, host operating system and long-duration storage.
Engineering applications

Built for R&D, validation and production-support laboratories.

Design verification and board bring-up

Investigate power integrity, clocking, mixed-signal behaviour, buses, timing and sensor interfaces from prototype bring-up through design verification.

RF components, antennas and communication systems

Characterize filters, amplifiers, cables, antennas, oscillators and wireless links using spectrum, signal-generation and S-parameter measurements.

Power conversion, batteries and semiconductor devices
