 Latest Oscilloscope News

28 February 2023 - The oscilloscope probe is an essential part of the measurement chain. Some measurements would not even be possible without probes e.g. current measurements or high voltage measurements. So don’t forget to have a special look on the probes when you setup a measurement. On OScopes.info we published over the years a large variety of information on oscilloscope probes and probing in different forms: news, whitepapers, application notes, videos and webinars. Following we have compiled an overview for you.

TLC USB CrossSync02 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.

TLC Labmaster10Zi A23 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.

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.

Siglent SDS6108L 212 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".

TLC CAN XL07 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.

TLC USB404 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.

Digitizer and Oscilloscope - Equal Alternatives?

Spectrum digitizer as an alternative to an oscilloscopeCan a digitizer be used as an oscilloscope? What is the difference between an oscilloscope and a digitizer? Should I better use a digitizer or an oscilloscope in my next application? These are interesting questions and the best way to start to answer these is the look up the dictionary definition of an oscilloscope: "An electronic instrument used to measure changing electric voltages. It displays the waveforms of electric oscillations on a screen."
