Measure RIN using your ESA

The RT40 RIN test instrument is a compact tool that transforms your existing Electrical Spectrum Analyzer (ESA) into a high-precision RIN measurement system.

The RT40 Difference:
  • Built-in Calibration Source: Each measurement taken with your specific ESA can be calibrated.
  • Validated Credibility: Our approach is built on the calibration method developed by NIST. While we provide a streamlined user experience, the underlying science is rooted in the most trusted standards in the field.
  • Small Footprint, High ROI: You already own the processing power of an ESA. The RT40 simply unlocks it for RIN, saving you the cost and bench space of a redundant standalone unit.
If you have an ESA in your lab, the RT40 is the most efficient way to get "gold-standard" RIN data without the "black box" price tag.

How It Works

We provide an optional laptop that controls both RT40 and your ESA to quickly start measuring RIN. The RT40 can also be part of your test rack, remotely controlled with VISA-type commands.
