Don’t forget the Oscilloscope Probes
23 June 2020 - Oscilloscope probes are a key 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.
Oscopes KnowledgeBase is growing and includes now also Videos
19 June 2020 - The new OScilloscope KnowledeBase of OScopes.info, a whitepaper and application note library focusing on oscilloscopes, is growing and includes meanwhile more than 50 whitepapers and application notes. In addition it was enhanced to include also YouTube videos and webinars.
Pico Technology extends range of PC-based Mixed Signal Oscilloscopes
26 May 2020 - Pico Technology announced three new 4-channel models of its PicoScope 6000E Series oscilloscopes, each of which can be configured with 16 optional digital channels. With bandwidths of 300 or 500 MHz, 8-bit or 8/10/12-bit flexible resolution and up to 4 GS deep capture memory, these products enhance the existing PicoScope 6000E portfolio, adding to the 8-channel models that were introduced earlier in the year.
Keysight launched 6 GHz Mixed Signal Oscilloscopes with up to 8 Channels
14 May 2020 - Keysight Technologies announced the first oscilloscope with 8 analog channels at 6 GHz and 16 simultaneous digital channels, enabling customers to reduce test bench and workflow complexity to achieve higher performance as well as accurate and repeatable multi-channel measurements in a single instrument.
New: OScopes now includes an Application Note and Whitepaper Library
13 May 2020 - To provide our readers additional information about how to use oscilloscopes and how to solve their measurement challenges we enhanced OScopes with the new "KnowledgeBase" Application Note and Whitepaper Library. It includes a full text search and selection functions to fast and easy identify articles containing the information our readers are looking for.
Multi-Channel Probe Positioning System
12 May 2020 - Oscilloscopes with more than two channels present humans with a common problem: none of us have enough hands to hold more than two oscilloscope probes in place. This is especially an issue when using an 8-channel oscilloscope such as the new PicoScope 6800E devices, so it was particularly important for Pico Technology to address it.
Tektronix extends Performance of TBS2000 Digital Storage Oscilloscopes
04 May 2020 - Tektronixy announced the new TBS2000B Series of Digital Storage Oscilloscopes that was developed to meet the performance, usability and affordability needs of both engineers and educators. The TBS2000B scopes extend the performance of the TBS2000 portfolio to 200 MHz with 2GS/s maximum sample rate.

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.
