Economical 12-bit 2/4-Channel Oscilloscope Series
15 September 2023 - Rigol introduced the Rigol DHO800/900 Oscilloscope Series, new 12-bit economical digital oscilloscopes. The oscilloscopes are very portable and offer the high-resolution needed today, based on Rigol's "Centaurus" technology platform. With a capture rate up to 1,000,000 wfms/s (in UltraAcquire Mode), and 25/50Mpts memory depth, the ultra-low noise floor of these scopes allows the detection of even small signal details.
Hardware-Accelerated Oscilloscope with automated Analysis Tools
14 September 2023 - Keysight Technologies announced the expansion of its industry-leading portfolio of Infiniium oscilloscopes with the new, hardware-accelerated Infiniium MXR B-Series, offering automated analysis tools that enable engineers to find anomalies quickly and shorten time to market. Built-in, automated test tools and hardware-accelerated analysis produce results at least 60% faster than most competitors.
65 GHz Oscilloscope Platform with 12-bit vertical Resolution
06 September 2023 – Teledyne LeCroy announced the launch of its new WaveMaster 8000HD high-bandwidth, high definition oscilloscope (HDO) platform with models from 20 to 65 GHz of bandwidth, 12 bits of resolution, up to 320 GS/s of sample rate and an industry-leading 8 gigapoints (Gpts) of acquisition memory. The new WaveMaster 8000HD retains the unrivaled validation and debug capabilities of its predecessor while adding new SDA Expert serial data analysis software options for testing next-generation serial data technologies.
High Definition Oscilloscopes with up to 500 MHz Bandwidth
14 August 2023 - Yokogawa Test & Measurement Corporation released the DLM5000HD series high definition oscilloscopes. Positioned as a high-performance version of the DLM5000 series, the DLM5000HD series expands Yokogawa’s oscilloscope lineup with 500 MHz and 350 MHz frequency bandwidth models that deliver higher resolution for more accurate waveform analysis, and come with features that improve usability and enable easier setup.
Handheld Digital Oscilloscopes enable floating Measurements
28 July 2023 - B&K Precision announced their latest iteration of handheld oscilloscopes, the 2510B Series. Comprised of four models, this new line of dual-channel oscilloscopes includes 100 MHz and 200 MHz bandwidth models. For industrial applications, the 2515B and 2516B provide full isolation between all inputs and safety ratings of 1000 V CAT II and 600 V CAT III. For general electronic applications, the 2511B and 2512B provide the same feature set in a non-isolated design and at a more affordable price point.
Long Range Wireless Multi Instrument Synchronization
14 July 2023 - The Wireless Multi Instrument Synchronization Module WCMI-8 of TiePie is the world’s first module to wireless synchronize multiple oscilloscopes over a long distance of up to 400 meters and combine them to a single instrument. The WiFiScope and Handyscope series 5 and 6 instruments of TiePie are suitable to be used with the WCMI-8 module. The WCMI-8 module is placed on the extension connector at the rear of each oscilloscope and the Multi Channel oscilloscope software automatically detects how many instruments are equipped with a WCMI-8 module.
New Generation of Oscilloscope Software
02 June 2023 - Pico Technology launched its next-generation oscilloscope software: PicoScope 7. Based on PicoScope 6 software, PicoScope 7 has been rewritten to take advantage of the latest PC and display technologies. PicoScope 7 boasts a range of enhanced features and functionality making it the ideal choice for engineers and technicians looking for precise, reliable, and easy-to-use tools for their test and measurement needs. PicoScope 7 is available for Windows, Linux, and Mac operating systems.

A Comparison between Oscilloscopes and Spectrum Analyzers
Whether it is for a land survey searching for minerals on Earth, or for a space exploration in search of alien life forms, the analysis of any signal boils down to looking at its time and frequency information. While an oscilloscope displays a signal with respect to time, a spectrum analyzer shows it with respect to frequency. Both of these tools are very important in any signal analysis application. This article explains the difference between oscilloscope and spectrum analyzer using examples.

Precision Phase Noise Measurement with an Oscilloscope - Part 1
Often clock jitter induced from the power supply noise, signal routings, or other signals severely degrade the performance of the system. Clock generation and distribution in a FPGA for a high speed analog application is particularly prone to these issues. They manifest themselves in phase noise or clock jitter, which is the random variation of the period of a signal over time. Clearly, optimization of the design requires verification of the integrity of such clocks.
