Fast and efficient EMI Debugging with Oscilloscopes
Oscilloscopes featuring high sensitivity and dynamic range combined with powerful FFT capabilities are ideal tools for EMI debugging. Electromagnetic interference from electronic circuits and boards can be detected and analyzed with high speed and accuracy.
USB 3.0 SuperSpeed Oscilloscopes with 512 MS deep Memory
26 January 2015 - Pico Technology announced the PicoScope 3000D Series oscilloscopes with up to 200 MHz bandwidth, 2 or 4 analog channels plus 16 digital channels on the mixed-signal (MSO) models, and deep memories from 64 to 512 MS the PicoScope 3000D Series are ideal for debugging the latest digital and mixed signal designs. The scopes offer a maximum real-time sampling rate of 1 GS/s and feature a USB 3.0 interface and a built-in arbitrary waveform generator (AWG). The slim case design makes the scopes convenient for both benchtop and portable use.
USB 3.1 Compliance Test with Tektronix DPO/MSO70000 Oscilloscopes
23 January 2015 - Tektronix released a comprehensive set of USB 3.1 compliance test solutions that allows designers to quickly verify designs against the latest USB specifications and achieve fast time to market while minimizing costs. The new release expands Tektronix' already extensive USB 3.1 and USB 2.0 test capabilities to include a new USB 3.1 receiver test solution supporting the 10 Gb/s data rate, a new USB Power Delivery test solution and a new USB Type-C cable test solution.
WLAN Digital Storage Oscilloscope
21 January 2015 - Velleman offers the world's first WLAN dual channel digital storage oscilloscope. The WFS210 is a compact, portable battery powered fully featured two channel oscilloscope. Instead of a built-in screen it uses a tablet (iOS, Android) or a PC (Windows) to display the measurements. Data exchange between the tablet and the oscilloscope is via WLAN.
USB Oscilloscopes - Product Overview (Low-end)
USB oscilloscopes are are becoming increasingly popular. Nevertheless there is a wide range of instruments available starting from less than one hundred up to several thousands of dollars. The following comparison chart provides a list of products with some important selection criteria. The list covers products in the low-end price range from 100 to 500 USD and with a bandwidth of at least 50 MHz. Most of USB PC scopes are pure digital oscilloscopes (DSO) but some offer also mixed-signal functions (MSO) or even additional features such as arbitrary waveform generator (AWG), logic analyzer, protocol analyzer or spectrum analyzer.
