Simple Analysis of Thousands of Waveform Cycles
17 August 2017 - Pico Technology introduced the DeepMeasure analysis tool. Included as standard with PicoScope 3000, 4000, 5000, and 6000 Series oscilloscopes, DeepMeasure delivers automatic measurement of waveform parameters on up to a million successive waveform cycles. Results can be easily sorted, analyzed and correlated with the waveform display.
Multi-Functional Mixed Domain Oscilloscope
04 August 2017 - GW Instek launched the new MDO-2000E series multi-functional mixed domain oscilloscopes. The series includes two feature combinations : MDO-2000EG and MDO-2000EX. MDO-2000EG models have a built-in spectrum analyzer and a dual channel 25MHz arbitrary waveform generator and MDO-2000EX models feature a built-in a spectrum analyzer, arbitrary waveform generator, a 5,000 count DMM, and a 5V/1A power supply. The first of its kind, MDO-2000EX is the only oscilloscope to equip with a DMM and a power supply in the T&M industry.
Pico Technology launched new SDK for Windows
25 July 2017 - Pico Technology has released a new PicoSDK driver package installer for its PicoScope oscilloscope and PicoLog data loggers for Microsoft Windows. This release adds drivers for the latest PicoScope 2000A and 2000B models and the PicoScope 4444, as well as various fixes for other drivers. The PicoSDK (consisting of the drivers, Programmer’s Guides and software examples) allows the development of custom applications and integration into other systems.
Multifunction Oscilloscope with Generator, Multimeter and Frequency Counter
20 July 2017 - Peaktech launched the new developed 100 MHz digital storage oscilloscope 1360 featuring 12-bit technology and a 8" touchscreen with a resolution of 800x600 pixel. The 2-channel oscilloscope includes also a full digital multimeter with voltage, current, resistance and capacitance measurement functions. Additionally arbitrary waveforms can be outputted with the integrated 25MHz waveform generator.
High Voltage Differential Probes
18 July 2017 - Micsig, a designer and producer of tablet and handheld oscilloscopes, introduced high voltage differential probes featuring a bandwidth of up to 100 MHz and a maximum differential test voltage (DC+ Peak AC) of up to 1300 V. The probes also offer a switchable attenuation of 50X and 500X.
Modbus Decoder for troubleshooting PLC Applications
11 July 2017 - Pico Technology has enhanced its PicoScope analysis capabilities with the addition of Modbus ASCII and Modbus RTU decoders. It is currently the only oscilloscope range capable of analyzing Modbus (RS-232/RS-485) signals, making it the perfect tool for troubleshooting industrial PLC applications – from installation and commissioning to maintenance and repair operations.
5-in-1 USB-powered Mixed Signal Oscilloscope
29 June 2017 - Analog Arts introduces the mixed signal oscilloscope MS216. It is a 5-in-1 USB-powered oscilloscope and features 2 analog and 16 digital channels. It includes a mixed signal scope, an oscilloscope, a spectrum analyzer, a data recorder, and a frequency and phase meter. MS216 has been developed to meet the requirements of wide range of applications.

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.

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.
