Time-correlated USB4 Analysis of Oscilloscope and Protocol Analyzer
02 February 2023 – Teledyne LeCroy announced the extension of their patented CrossSync PHY technology to USB4 signaling over USB Type-C connectors. CrossSync PHY enables waveforms from Teledyne LeCroy oscilloscopes to be viewed alongside protocol analyzer traces, with complete time-correlation of electrical and protocol information for easy and powerful validation and root-cause analysis.
PCI Express 6.0 Electrical Testing
23 January 2023 - Teledyne LeCroy announced new software tools for PCI Express 6.0 electrical test and validation: QPHY-PCIE6-TX-RX fully automated test software, as well as SDAIII-PCIE6 and SDAIII-PAMx characterization and debug software packages. The new software tools support faster 64 GT/s data transfer speeds using PAM4 multi-level signaling. The tools can be used with a Teledyne LeCroy LabMaster 10 Zi-A oscilloscope.
Oscillocope KnowledgeBase with more than 100 free Whitepapers, Webinars and Application Notes
16 January 2023 - The Oscilloscope KnowledeBase of OScopes.info, a whitepaper, application note and webinar library focusing on oscilloscopes, is still growing and includes meanwhile more than 100 whitepapers, application notes, webinars and videos. All with free access.
Cascadable Oscilloscopes featuring 4, 8 or more Channels
12 January 2023 - SIGLENT Technologies introduced a new series of oscilloscopes, which expands the existing performance series SDS6000A by 8 models. The new oscilloscopes are available as 4 and 8-channel versions without a display. The compact form factor (4-channel device: 1 HU, 8-channel device: 2 HU) saves a lot of rack space when integrated into the measurement system. Another special feature is that several of these devices can be switched together to form a multi-channel system. If you connect an external monitor and a mouse, the oscilloscopes can also be used "stand-alone".
Test Solution for 10 Mb/s In-Vehicle Designs
07 November 2022 – Teledyne LeCroy announced the addition of a CAN XL Trigger, Decode, Measure/Graph and Eye Diagram (TDME) oscilloscope software option, enabling users to test, validate and debug automotive electronic control units (ECUs) and 10 Mb/s in-vehicle network (IVN) designs. This new CAN-XL oscilloscope option positions Teledyne LeCroy as the only vendor to offer complete capabilities for testing any 10 Mb/s in-vehicle network.
USB4 Version 2.0 Physical Layer Testing
04 November 2022 – Teledyne LeCroy announced support for USB4 Version 2.0 physical layer compliance and validation with updates to its QualiPHY compliance test software and SDAIII-CompleteLinQ Serial Data Analysis software to support testing of new USB 80 Gbps data transfer speeds over the USB Type-C cable and connector.

Oscilloscope Probes – Vital Link in the Measurement Chain
Signal measurement results can only be as accurate as the test and measurement tools in use. As clock rates and edge speeds of today’s electronic circuits increase, probing becomes a critical piece of the measurement system – the component that comes in direct contact with your circuit. This article looks at voltage probing considerations for embedded system and digital design debugging applications.

Oscilloscope History and Milestones
Oscilloscopes have been invented in the 1920s. Up to now this instrument encountered many innovations. In the beginning the most important manufacturers have been General Radio, DuMont, General Electric and Radio Corporation of America. Later Cossor and later Solartron dominated the market. Today the main players are Keysight, Tektronix and Teledyne LeCroy. Below we listed some important oscilloscope milestones.
