Real Time Sampling Oscilloscope with four 5 GHz 12 Bit Channels
28 February 2019 - Pico Technology introduced the PicoScope 9404 SXRTO (Sampler eXtended Real Time Oscilloscope). The 9404 features four 5 GHz 12-bit channels, each supported by real-time sampling to 500 MS/s per channel and up to 1 TS/s (1 ps) equivalent-time sampling. Both the voltage and timing resolution specifications are characteristics of the highest performance broadband oscilloscopes.
Rohde & Schwarz makes 16-bit HD mode standard on most oscilloscopes
27 February 2019 - Rohde & Schwarz announced that starting immediately, all R&S RTO and R&S RTP oscilloscopes are delivered with the high definition mode featuring 16-bit vertical resolution. Users benefit from more measurement performance at the same price. Higher-resolution waveforms enable more precise analysis of signal details that would otherwise be hidden by noise. Users can trigger on the smallest signal details.
3-Phase Power Analysis Software for Evaluation of Power-Conversion Systems
08 February 2019 - Teledyne LeCroy launched its 3-Phase Power Analysis software package, which brings 1-phase and 3-phase static and dynamic power analysis to its HDO8000A, HDO6000A and WavePro HD 12-bit High Definition oscilloscopes.
Comprehensive DDR5 Testing Solution
06 February 2019 - Keysight Technologies announced the industry's first comprehensive double data rate (DDR) 5.0 test solution. Keysight's total solution approach to DDR5 testing includes a new receiver, transmitter, and protocol test solutions. This will enable the ability to perform all test requirements in the DDR5 design specification.
PCI Express 5.0 Physical-Layer Testing
04 February 2019 – Teledyne LeCroy announced support for PCI Express 5.0 physical layer testing with an advantage in calibration and test completion time, expanding on what is already an extensive set of PCI Express test solutions.
Siglent launched its first 1GHz Oscilloscopes
29 January 2019 - Siglent launched the new economical, high performance SDS5000X series of digital storage oscilloscopes, which are available in 2 or 4 channel versions with bandwidths of 350MHz, 500MHz, and 1GHz. With a maximum sample rate of 5GSa/s, these scopes offer a maximum record length of 250Mpts to allow for deep memory investigation of glitches and infrequent events, and they also have the option of 16 digital channels for true mixed signal analysis.
Analyzing Frequency Response with Oscilloscopes
21 January 2019 - Rohde & Schwarz has extended the application range of its R&S RTB2000, R&S RTM3000, and R&S RTA4000 oscilloscopes with a new option for frequency response analysis. Equipped with the R&S RTx-K36, the oscilloscopes can display Bode plots for both phase and gain against frequency simultaneously. With the new software option, users can analyze the response to frequency changes from 10 Hz up to 25 MHz without any additional piece of equipment and at a fraction of the price of dedicated solutions.

Digital Debugging - better using a Mixed-Signal-Oscilloscope or a Logic Analyzer?
Today’s technology is fundamentally balanced on an increasingly fine line between the analogue and digital domains; as data speeds increase — both within and between devices — the ‘ideal world’ of fast, clean digital transitions becomes evermore difficult to achieve. This presents new and escalating challenges when verifying faster digital signals that exhibit more and more analogue-like features. As a result it is becoming necessary to remove the hard line between digital and analogue.
