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.
Single Box, Multi-Channel Solution for Wideband mmWave Measurements
10 September 2019 - Keysight Technologies announced the first single box multi-channel solution for wideband mmWave measurements. Available for Keysight UXR-Series of oscilloscopes the solution enables fast, affordable, coherent analysis for wideband measurements up to 110 GHz; accelerating development of next generation mmWave communications, satellite communications and radar applications.
Multifunction 4 Channel Digital Phosphor Oscilloscope
30 August 2019 - Hantek launched the DPO6000 series 4 channel digital phosphor oscilloscope. DPO6000 series has 6 functions: 4 channel oscilloscope, 16 channel logic analyzer, 2 channel waveform generator, digital voltmeter, serial protocol analyzer and FFT spectral analysis. It offers a bandwidth of up to 200MHz, a memory depth of 64 Mpts and supports segmented storage (up to 80,000).
DALI Protocol Decoding and Analysis
28 August 2019 - Pico Technology has added DALI decoding and analysis with the latest version of PicoScope 6 software. DALI (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface) provides two-way communications between lighting fixtures (“luminaires”), ballasts and controllers. A DALI controller can talk to individual LED drivers and ballasts, and those devices can in turn talk back to the controller to report light failures, energy consumption, ambient light conditions and so on.
Automotive Ethernet Debug Toolkit
26 August 2019 - Teledyne LeCroy launched a new dedicated Automotive Ethernet Debug Toolkit, and an Automotive Ethernet Breakout Test Fixture which cover all aspects of physical layer Automotive Ethernet testing with compliance testing for 100Base-T1 and 1000Base-T1.
16 GHz Sampler-extended Real-time Oscilloscope
21 August 2019 - Pico Technology introduced the PicoScope 9404-16 SXRTO, a 16 GHz sampler-extended real-time oscilloscope. The new model joins the 5 GHz 9404-05 model launched earlier this year. Ideally suited to repetitive or clock-derived signals, both models feature four high-resolution 12-bit channels, each supported by real-time sampling to 500 MS/s per channel and up to 5 TS/s (0.2 ps) equivalent-time sampling.
RIGOL announces new 2 GHz Digital Oscilloscope
09 August 2019 - RIGOL Technologies announces an expansion to its UltraVision II oscilloscope portfolio with the introduction of the New MSO8000 Series Digital Oscilloscope. Delivering Bandwidth up to 2 GHz Bandwidth and a new Jitter and Real-Time Eye Analysis package the MSO8000 Series extends RIGOL's value proposition into serial data analysis and signal integrity 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.
