Compliance Test Application for Characterizing LPDDR4 Designs
09 January 2015 - Keysight Technologies introduced a compliance test application for systems using low-power double-data-rate 4 memory. The application gives engineers an efficient and quick way to characterize LPDDR4 designs. In addition to testing and validating designs to ensure compliance with the LPDDR4 JEDEC JESD209-1 standard, the application offers offline testing support for running signals from simulation tools like Keysight's Advanced Design System.

Oscilloscope History and Milestones
Oscilloscopes have been invented in the 1920s. Up to now this instrument encountered many innovations. In the beginning the most important manufacturers have been General Radio, DuMont, General Electric and Radio Corporation of America. Later Cossor and later Solartron dominated the market. Today the main players are Keysight, Tektronix and Teledyne LeCroy. Below we listed some important oscilloscope milestones.
Electrical Performance and Characterization Test Software for eDP 1.4
22 December 2014 – Keysight Technologies introduced test support for the eDP 1.4 (embedded DisplayPort) specification. Keysight N6469A eDP 1.4 electrical performance and characterization test software eliminates the need to tailor a test process for eDP designs. The test software operates on Keysight’s 90000 X-, 90000 Q- and Z-Series Infiniium real-time oscilloscopes with bandwidths of 13 GHz and higher. Access to the test signals through an eDP test fixture is required.
Rohde & Schwarz adds 200 MHz Oscilloscope for Education Sector
19 December 2014 - Rohde & Schwarz is expanding its R&S RTM bench oscilloscope family by a new model that is ideal for the education sector. The instrument features a 200 MHz bandwidth and an education mode that deactivates special measurement tools to help students quickly learn how to work with an oscilloscope. Also a new digital voltmeter and frequency counter option is offered.
Oscilloscope Probe Adapter for BitScope Micro
17 December 2014 - The new BitScope Micro Port 01 (MP01) is a universal mixed signal I/O adapter for BitScope Micro. It connects standard oscilloscope probes to the BitScope Micro Mixed Signal Oscilloscope. Any passive probe with 1:1, 10:1 or other attenuation ratios can be used. It supports active differential, current or any other type of probe which is BNC terminated and designed for a standard oscilloscope.

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.
