National Instruments MP500 TCL3 NFC Device Tester
The National Instruments MP500 TCL3 (part number: 785050-01) is a high quality NFC Device Tester. This tester is made specifically for identifying and characterizing contactless NFC devices, readers, and smart cards. The MP500 TCL3 adds flexibility to the features of advanced signal generation, making the way for unparalleled growth in various testing applications. In addition, the device tester is capable of generating versatile waveshapes that are in compliance with standards such as ISO 15693 and ISO 14443 A/B. An integrated arbitrary signal generator rounds out the device to provide a comprehensive testing environment.
With an embedded spy feature, the MP500 TCL3 goes beyond standard testing. This feature allows for real-time monitoring between the tester and the DUT (Device Under Test). For applications that require precise testing, the physical parameters of the tester are able to be fine-tuned. These parameters include field strength, rise/fall time, carrier frequency, and more.
One of the standout features of the device is it’s ability to precisely measure resonance frequency and Q factor in manner similar to a Vector Network Analyzer. A holistic view of the device characteristics allows for assessment of complex impedances- including resistance, inductance, and capacitance.
An open platform makes integration easy, ensuring that the MP500 TCL3 doesn't just meet standards- it evolves with them. The device can be adapted to the specific testing needs of the user, with the MPManager software or Dll driver able to program customized test sequences.
The dimensions of the MP500 TCL3 measure 166 x 280 x 58 mm (6.5 × 11 × 2.3 inches), and it weighs in at 1.80 kg (3.97 lbs).
