Rohde & Schwarz has appointed Link Microtek as a UK reseller for the Value Instruments range of general-purpose test-and-measurement equipment manufactured by Rohde & Schwarz and its HAMEG subsidiary. The Value Instruments products are a comprehensive line-up of reliable, precise and affordable measuring equipment. The product range includes oscilloscopes, spectrum analysers, network analysers, signal generators, power supplies, multimeters and EMC precompliance products.
Link Microtek’s technical director Hugo Bibby feels this is an exciting opportunity for them, as the high-spec microwave components they currently supply are often used in test-and-measurement applications. In addition to this, their low-frequency EMF safety meter can be used with an oscilloscope to allow more detailed analysis of waveforms. So there is a great deal of synergy with their existing portfolio of products.
Alison Barber, Rohde & Schwarz’s account manager for rental and distribution partners in the UK, was equally enthusiastic about the tie-up with Link. “The company’s focus on RF and microwave technology is complemented by a significant amount of general T&M expertise, which means that customers can be confident they’ll be dealing with technically knowledgeable people,” she said.
All Value Instruments products are manufactured in Germany, with new additions to the range now being marketed solely under the Rohde & Schwarz brand.
