Newtons 4th have recently appointed PDS Instruments as their sole distributor for the UK and Ireland. The move brings benefits to all involved. Newtons 4th are a growing business and their focus is on product innovation so partnering with technical distributors PDS Instruments means that customers will benefit from a larger sales and support team.
PDS Instruments strive to work with the best companies in any given field. Recent meetings between PDS Instruments and Newtons 4th led to a decision for the two companies to work together towards their common goal of providing the best solution for their customers applications. David Sheath, Business Development Director for PDS Instruments, said "We talk to a lot of equipment manufacturers and many offer excellent products but it's rare that we meet a company with such exciting products and ideas. From what we have seen so far it really seems that Newtons 4th really listen to the market. They design excellent products that fit with what customers really want rather than what the product designers thinks the customers want."
Newtons4th Ltd was established in 1997 to design, manufacture and support innovative electronic equipment to a world-wide market. Specialising in sophisticated test equipment, particularly for phase measurement, their product portfolio includes frequency response analysers (gain/phase analysers), vector voltmeters, phase meters, LCR meters, transformer analysers, true RMS voltmeters, selective level meters, power analysers, and harmonic analysers
The company was founded on the principle of using latest technology and sophisticated analysis techniques in order to provide customers with accurate, easy to use instruments at a lower price than has been traditionally associated with these types of measurements.
Flexibility in the Newtons 4th products and an attitude to providing the solutions that customers really want has allowed them to develop many innovative functions in our ever increasing product range.
For further information on Newtons 4th Limited you can visit their website or view information on the Newtons 4th products here on our products pages.

Got old equipment sat on the shelf just gathering dust? Need to replace an old item but finding it hard to get your budget approved? Simply must have the latest kit to replace your aging equipment? Then look no further... PDS Instruments will consider any test equipment or power supplies for trade-in from any manufacturer. The trade-in can be redeemed as cash, credit (for future purchase) or as a discount on new equipment purchased at the time of trade-in. All you need to do is get in touch with us and let us know what the equipment is, what condition its in (photo's always help) and we will then get you a trade-in valuation.

PDS Instruments offer a selection of test instruments and power sources for rental so why not check out the rentals list to see what equipment is currently in the rentals pool? Recently added items include Tabor Waveform generators, the Voltech PM1000+, Portable Calys Calibrator from AOIP, DMM's and DC power supplies.
PDS Instruments are pleased to announce that the Tabor Electronics Pulse Master Series received Honourable Mention recognition in the prestigious Test and Measurement World's Best-in-Test awards for 2008. The Pulse Master Series was cited for bringing significant technological advancement to market in introducing its new Pulse-On-Chip technology, offering the best price-performance ratio of Pulse Generators, in a compact, cost-effective package.
Models PM8571 and PM8572, the premier members of the new Pulse Master Series, are super high-performance single and dual channel pulse/ pattern generators that execute command emulators to nearly all new, as well as discontinued, Pulse Generators on the market, solving all TPS programmers' replacement challenges.
To add to their remarkable, high-performance pulse features, the new Pulse Master models are capable of generating the complete range of standard, arbitrary and sequenced waveforms needed in today's laboratories, all conveniently housed in a small, 2U 1/2 rack-sized box. These efficient Pulse Master models reach groundbreaking integration levels, establishing them as market leaders in the areas of size, price and performance, for any possible application.
This is the third time in a row that Tabor products have been nominated and won an award for excellence.
