2 GHz Oscilloscopes with 8 Channels and 12 Bit Resolution
01 October 2019 – Teledyne LeCroy introduced the WaveRunner 8000HD High Definition Oscilloscopes (HDO), the world’s only 8-channel, 12-bit resolution, 2 GHz instruments. WaveRunner 8000HD leverages the company’s HD4096 High Definition technology and a 15.6” touchscreen, high channel counts, and 5 Gigapoints of acquisition memory in critical applications such as high-power/three-phase power conversion, automotive electronics, power integrity and power sequencing, and embedded control systems.
IEEE 802.3cg 10BASE-T1S Compliance Test Solution
24 September 2019 - The flexibility of Automotive Ethernet makes the simple twisted-pair network technology ideal for an ever-increasing range of in-vehicle networks. The new IEEE 10BASE-T1S standard expands the range of applications supported by Automotive Ethernet to include integrating simple devices into the network. Rohde & Schwarz presented the first compliance test solution for testing device-compliance to 10BASE-T1S.
Isolated Current Probe for Motor and Grid Measurements
16 September 2019 - SAKER announces the world’s first Rogowski fiber isolated current probe for measuring AC currents in high voltage areas, power electronics, medium voltage motors and electric grids. Its main applications are medium voltage power quality, distribution grids and medium voltage drives testing.
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.

A Comparison between Oscilloscopes and Spectrum Analyzers
Whether it is for a land survey searching for minerals on Earth, or for a space exploration in search of alien life forms, the analysis of any signal boils down to looking at its time and frequency information. While an oscilloscope displays a signal with respect to time, a spectrum analyzer shows it with respect to frequency. Both of these tools are very important in any signal analysis application. This article explains the difference between oscilloscope and spectrum analyzer using examples.

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.
