Broomfield, CO 8/10/06 – Instrument Rental Labs, the Colorado based rental and sales firm for electronic test equipment, has become a Value Added Reseller (VAR) and subsequent rental service for National Instruments in an effort to provide quality innovative test and measurement solutions to its customers.
Instrument Rental Labs seeks to consistently provide the best possible products and services to their customers. This enables them to provide the cutting-edge of automated calibration techniques for computer based test and measurement. National Instruments (NI) is the leader in the field with their PXI (PCI eXtensions for Instrumentation) multi-vendor standard. “This is the direction the industry is headed,” said Bill Hedrick, President, Instrument Rental Labs.
As a VAR, Instrument Rental Labs can rent, sell, or rent with an option to purchase the NI product line as well as special NI calibration solutions. The Company, which was started in 1993, is the first to offer a rental service for NI's progressive modular PXI Instruments.
Computer based test instruments rely on PXI interfaces which are fast becoming the standard for precision test and measurement solutions. “Hundreds of instruments are available in PXI format.” said Hedrick.
The problems in using PXI measurement modules and instruments, which can be as accurate as bench type stand alone instruments, is that they often go un-calibrated because the internal or third party calibration service does not have the necessary software and fixtures necessary to handle the calibration of these items.
Consequently, Instrument Rental Labs offers the certified and accredited Fluke and Agilent calibrators along with NI's Calibration Executive software and the appropriate module cables and fixtures necessary for PXI calibration.
PXI and Calibration solutions aside, Instrument Rental Labs also rents, sells, leases and buys new and used bench style test equipment. Specializing in calibration and automation equipment, their inventory includes a vast selection of products from more than 150 vendors including National Instruments, Agilent, Tektronix, Fluke, and the like, all of which are available for immediate delivery.
Updated daily from their huge equipment database, the company's website provides pictures, information and specifications on the over 1500 products they have available for sale or rent. Check it out at www.testquip.com.
