New Product from Zurich Instruments AG

All Zurich Instruments lock-in amplifiers can be equipped with amplitude and frequency modulation capabilities with the new AM/FM Modulation Option. This option enables coherent generation and detection of signals with multiple frequency components, such as amplitude- and frequency-modulated signals. Up to three frequencies can be coherently combined to generate fully configurable AM signals.
