5-in-1 Programmable Oscilloscopes
25 March 2024 - Saelig Company introduced the GW Instek MPO-2000 Series Multifunction Programmable Oscilloscopes. These instruments combine, in one space-saving box, a full-featured oscilloscope, a spectrum analyzer, an arbitrary waveform generator, a digital multimeter, and a 2-channel 20VDC power supply. In addition to its five-in-one multi-functional architecture, it features Python script functionality into the MPO-2000, enabling users to create a small, low-cost automated test system without an external controlling PC. Python is widely used in scientific computing, data analysis, web development, artificial intelligence, and other fields since it is easy to learn and use.
Decode, Trigger & Search Support for the CAN XL Protocol
20 March 2024 - Tektronix announced the release of the Tektronix CAN XL (Controller Area Network Extended Length) protocol decoder, enabling engineers incorporating the latest generation of CAN communications, and helping Tektronix customers compete in today’s fast-changing technology landscape. With the ability to decode signals representing data packets transmitted using CAN XL frames in a CAN network, the Tektronix CAN XL protocol decoder runs on today’s 4, 5, 6 Series MSO Oscilloscopes and also offers critical features such as error detection, analysis and debugging of timing and protocol headers.

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."

Precision Phase Noise Measurement with an Oscilloscope - Part 1
Often clock jitter induced from the power supply noise, signal routings, or other signals severely degrade the performance of the system. Clock generation and distribution in a FPGA for a high speed analog application is particularly prone to these issues. They manifest themselves in phase noise or clock jitter, which is the random variation of the period of a signal over time. Clearly, optimization of the design requires verification of the integrity of such clocks.
