Fluke software integrates high-resolution thermal data from TiX580, TiX560, TiX1000, TiX660, TiX640 and TiX620 infrared cameras with National Instruments' LabVIEW and MathWorks' MATLAB software, making it easy to add high-resolution IR data, video and images to R&D analysis and reporting. Allows continuous download of pixel-by-pixel, high-resolution radiometric data. Thermally captures video and ports video data frame-by-frame into MATLAB or LabVIEW software, and monitors it over time, identifying very small temperature changes.

MacuSpec HT 360 is a direct current acid copper plating process. Reportedly offers excellent microdistribution at high current densities. Provides throwing powers of greater than 80% at current densities up to 30 ASF in through holes with aspect ratios of 8:1. Deposits reportedly exceed IPC Class 3A tensile strength and elongation requirements; pass all thermal reliability testing. Components are analyzable by CVS.
