Lock-in amplifiers will never be the same. Until now you've had to use a con ventional lock-in amplifier to dig out signals buried in noise. But con ventional lock-ins have problems. Like u n w a n t e d h a r m o n i c re sponses. Like phase instability with a tuned front end. Like overloading interference with a wide-band front end. Like grounding problems. Now there's a better tool available. Dynatrac. Using an entirely new approach to lock-ins—heterodyn ing—Dynatrac provides perform ance unmatched by conventional lock-ins at any price:
