Tektronix says it will launch its first power analyser instruments in the coming months.
Supporting this move, Tektronix has implemented a technology transfer agreement which includes power analyser intellectual property, patents and product designs from its partner Voltech.
Tektronix says Voltech will exit the power analyser business by September.
"This is an aggressive move by Tektronix into a dynamic, growing market segment in test and measurement," said Amir Aghdaei, president, Tektronix.
Solar market
Power measurement is particularly important in the development of solar photovoltaic and wind energy systems.
Oscilloscopes can be used for basic power analysis but more accurate measurements require dedicated power analysers.
Voltech will focus on its transformer tester market and continue to offer service, repair and application support on all Voltech branded products for many years to come.
