5G Analysis Software for Oscilloscopes
01 March 2022 – Tektronix announced the release of its SignalVu 5G NR analysis software for 6 Series B MSO oscilloscopes. Engineers can now perform critical 5G NR measurements per 3GPP specifications on the oscilloscopes they rely on to bring-up and characterize new electronic designs. The 5G software enables engineers to diagnose complex signal interactions on a single oscilloscope, reducing the need for painstaking correlation between instruments.
Industry-First PCI-Express 6.0 Test Solution
16 February 2022 - Tektronix introduced a PCI Express 6.0 compatible Base transmitter test solution just weeks after the PCI-SIG working group released PCI Express (PCIe) 6.0 Base specifications and validation requirements. PCIe 6.0 is an important and scalable standard for data-intensive markets such as data center, artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML), and high-performance computing.
Tablet Oscilloscopes with Bandwidths up to 120 MHz
28 January 2022 - Owon introduced the TAO3000 Series 2/4 channel 8/14bit Tablet Oscilloscopes - handy portable scopes that are especially suited for field use. They offer 70, 100, or 120MHz bandwidth and a 1GSa/s signal sampling rate, with a built-in 4 1/2 digit multimeter in the 2-channel models. A huge 40MSa record length allows for deep investigation into glitches and other small signals. An internal built-in 8000mAh high-capacity battery allows for continuous operation of up to 5 hours.
Tektronix enhances existing 5 Series Mixed Signal Oscilloscope
11 January 2022 -- Tektronix launched a new version of its 5 Series mixed-signal oscilloscope (MSO). The new B version includes several updates, such as a new auxiliary trigger input that lets users synchronize the oscilloscope to an external signal without consuming any of the 4, 6, or 8 full-capability input channels. For the optional, built-in arbitrary/function generator, the maximum frequency output increases from 50 MHz to 100 MHz, enabling higher frequency stimulus for measurements such as Bode plots and impedance measurements. These new capabilities are invaluable for making fast, thorough checks of power integrity on power distribution networks.
PCI Express 5.0 EDSFF Interposers for SSD Protocol Testing
05 January 2022 - Teledyne LeCroy announced PCI Express 5.0 EDSFF interposers for analysis of Enterprise & Datacenter Small Form Factor (EDSFF) E1.S, E1.L, E3.x type solid-state drives (SSDs) and devices. These EDSFF interposers work in combination with the Summit family of PCI Express 5.0 protocol analyzers to test product designs that utilizes the PCIe 5.0, NVM Express (NVMe) and Compute Express Link (CXL) protocol technologies with data rates up to 32 GT/s and link widths up to x16. The PCIe 5.0 EDSFF interposers include Teledyne LeCroy's CrossSync PHY technology, enabling users to debug enhanced power management and link training equalization, through correlated and time aligned physical and protocol layer views.
DSO with 100 MHz Bandwidth and 4 analog Channels
09 December 2021 - B&K Precision announced the addition of their latest entry-level oscilloscope. The 2194 provides the advantage of a high bandwidth oscilloscope bundled with the latest features at a low price point. This model delivers 100 MHz bandwidth in a four-channel configuration with a maximum sampling rate of 1GSa/s and a maximum memory depth of 14 Mpts.
Protocol Analysis on PCI Express CEM Form Factor
02 December 2021 – Teledyne LeCroy announced the extension of their patented CrossSync PHY technology to support the PCI Express 5.0 Card Electromechanical (CEM) specification. This new CEM interposer (PE230UIA-X) joins the existing CrossSync PHY enabled M.2 form factor interposers (PE210UIA for PCIe 4.0 and the PE222UIA for PCIe 5.0), with more form factors in development to fill out the portfolio of cross-layer probing.
