We have installed a surface mount turn table with an extended arm to hold an antenna or even a device under test. Currently we have a horn antenna mounted on the arm and a tripod holding a second antenna for our tomography experiments.

We have also been improving the workstation outside the chamber. The workstation now has a GPIB adapter and cables to allow connections with up to 3 instruments. Currently 2 are being used for the turntable and a VNA. Our tomography experiment involves both of these instruments being controlled using a LabVIEW VI. The VI front panel is viewable online at:

The VI is pretty bare bones right now but more revisions are on the way. The new revisions will be posted here when they become available.
