USB Oscilloscope: 8 analog + 16 digital Channels + flexible Resolution
24 February 2020 – Pico Technology announced the PicoScope 6000E Series FlexRes oscilloscopes, featuring 8 channels with 500 MHz bandwidth, 16 digital channels, and resolution of 8, 10 or 12 bits. The products work with PicoScope 6 application software, which takes full advantage of the latest PC performance and display capabilities, showing clean, crisp waveforms on screens of any size and resolution.
Rapid Validation of Timing Solutions in Wireless and High-Speed Design
10 February 2020 - Keysight Technologies and Silicon Labs announced a collaboration that streamlines the validation of timing solutions critical in the development of system-level designs for wireless communications, high-speed digital, medical imaging and automotive applications. The new solutions allows a quickly and cost-effectively characterization of the performance of clocks and oscillators.
Measuring Power Supply Noise Rejection in Oscillators
03 February 2020 – Epson and Rohde & Schwarz developed a test procedure for measuring power supply noise rejection to bring clarity and precision to real-world signal integrity design challenges. The companies demonstrated the procedure and summarized data from Epson’s SG3225EEN low noise differential crystal oscillator measured by the R&S FSWP phase noise analyzer from Rohde & Schwarz at DesignCon 2020 in January.
First Electrical Test Solution for USB4
30 January 2020 – Teledyne LeCroy announceed the QualiPHY USB4 Electrical Transmitter (Tx) and Receiver (Rx) Compliance Test Software (QPHY-USB4-TX-RX) for its LabMaster 10 Zi-A and WaveMaster/SDA 8 Zi-B oscilloscopes used in conjunction with Anritsu’s Signal Quality Analyzer-R (SQA-R) MP1900A BERT. This announcement follows Teledyne LeCroy’s shipment of the first (and only) USB4 Protocol Analyzer in September of 2019.
New Approach for Signal Integrity Debugging
27 January 2020 - A new approach helps development engineers gain more insight into the individual jitter components of their transmission interface. Now they can separate jitter into its random and deterministic components and view results flexibly for effective debugging. The Rohde & Schwarz decomposition algorithm uses a parametric signal model for accurate measurements and additional result representations.
Siglent launched new 2/4-channel 100-350Hz Oscilloscopes
16 January 2020 - Siglent introduced the new SDS2000X Plus Digital Oscilloscope Series consisting of four models: one 2-channel 100MHz bandwidth (software upgradeable to 350MHz) and three 4-channel models (100/200/350MHz.) The 350MHz models can be upgraded to 500MHz on two independent channels. A large 10.1" capacitive touch-screen supports multi-touch gestures.
Differential Probing Solution for DDR5/LPDDR5
20 December 2019 - Keysight Technologies announced the MX0023A InfiniiMax RC, a new high speed differential probing solution for Double Data Rate 5 (DDR5) and Low Power Double Data Rate 5 (LPDDR5). The MX0023A InfiniiMax RC probe features a bandwidth of up to 25 GHz and an RC input impedance profile for extremely low mid-band loading.

Digitizer and Oscilloscope - Equal Alternatives?
Can a digitizer be used as an oscilloscope? What is the difference between an oscilloscope and a digitizer? Should I better use a digitizer or an oscilloscope in my next application? These are interesting questions and the best way to start to answer these is the look up the dictionary definition of an oscilloscope: "An electronic instrument used to measure changing electric voltages. It displays the waveforms of electric oscillations on a screen."
