EMA Enterprise Integrate provides direct integration between OrCAD data and corporate PLM and ERP/MRP systems. Enables OrCAD to automatically upload information from corporate systems seamlessly while working within the OrCAD environment. Users do not need to leave their native OrCAD interface to access various PLM functions. Maintains data integrity between engineering work-in-process data and corporate product lifecycle data. Enables two-way communication between the two databases to ensure data integrity by eliminating manual processes. With embedded menus and PLM capabilities within the native OrCAD tool, enables design decisions upfront with access to critical data such as lifecycle, stock, and pricing directly inside OrCAD.

Optical modulation analyzer (OMA) software can evaluate multi-channel coherent modulation schemes using a single measurement system. Can calibrate and control multiple OMAs to acquire and analyze simultaneous data from multiple channels such as different wavelengths or fiber cores. Includes visual OMA setup tool that facilitates reconfiguration of oscilloscopes and coherent receiver frontends, so the same hardware can be used for different applications, like PAM4 research or increased channel count in DP-QPSK testing.

Self-Supporting Sponge Connectors provide low-force connection of LCD displays to printed circuit boards. Are said to reduce PCB bowing due to minimal force required for full electrical contact. Designed for high-vibration environments and hand-held devices. Made from economical, electrically conductive Zebra core supported by low-compression force silicone sponge on either one or two sides. Soft supports create a larger base width and eliminate need to install a separate holder. Come in a large selection of widths to accommodate LCDs with a minimum glass lip overhang of 0.060"/1.5 mm.
