I3Cbus Trigger, Decode, Measure, Eye Diagram Solution
15 October 2019 - The new I3C Trigger+Decode (TD) option for Teledyne LeCroy Oscilloscopes provides high performance triggers and transparent color-coded decode overlays, protocol tables, and search capabilities. The also new TDME option adds Measure/Graph (M) capability with automated measurement and graphing tools and Eye Diagram (E) capability for physical layer signal assessment and debug. Extract digital sensor data and plot it as a waveform. Easily correlate I3C traffic to other signals in mobile, handheld, and battery-powered embedded systems.
Motor Drive Analyzer with 8 analog Channels
03 October 2019 – Teledyne LeCroy announced its new MDA 8000HD Motor Drive Analyzers, which leverage the new WaveRunner 8000HD High Definition Oscilloscope (HDO) platform of 8 analog channels, 12-bit vertical resolution at all times, up to 5 Gigapoints of acquisition memory (1.25 Gigapoints on all 8 channels), 10 GS/s sample rate, and bandwidths up to 2 GHz.
2 GHz Oscilloscopes with 8 Channels and 12 Bit Resolution
01 October 2019 – Teledyne LeCroy introduced the WaveRunner 8000HD High Definition Oscilloscopes (HDO), the world’s only 8-channel, 12-bit resolution, 2 GHz instruments. WaveRunner 8000HD leverages the company’s HD4096 High Definition technology and a 15.6” touchscreen, high channel counts, and 5 Gigapoints of acquisition memory in critical applications such as high-power/three-phase power conversion, automotive electronics, power integrity and power sequencing, and embedded control systems.
IEEE 802.3cg 10BASE-T1S Compliance Test Solution
24 September 2019 - The flexibility of Automotive Ethernet makes the simple twisted-pair network technology ideal for an ever-increasing range of in-vehicle networks. The new IEEE 10BASE-T1S standard expands the range of applications supported by Automotive Ethernet to include integrating simple devices into the network. Rohde & Schwarz presented the first compliance test solution for testing device-compliance to 10BASE-T1S.
Isolated Current Probe for Motor and Grid Measurements
16 September 2019 - SAKER announces the world’s first Rogowski fiber isolated current probe for measuring AC currents in high voltage areas, power electronics, medium voltage motors and electric grids. Its main applications are medium voltage power quality, distribution grids and medium voltage drives testing.
Rohde & Schwarz extends Oscilloscope Family to 16 GHz Bandwidth
12 September 2019 - With new 13 GHz and 16 GHz models, the compact multi-purpose R&S RTP oscilloscope family is now scalable from the 4 GHz minimum up to the full 16 GHz bandwidth. Additional new highlights are powerful debugging functions such as the high-speed serial pattern trigger using hardware-based clock-data-recovery (CDR) up to 16 Gbps, or the DDR4 signal integrity and compliance test.

Digitizer and Oscilloscope - Equal Alternatives?
Can 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."
