Battery-powered Portable 200/300MHz Oscilloscopes
13 July 2022 - Saelig Company, Inc. announced the Micsig STO2000C Series 2-channel Portable Oscilloscopes, which offer a bandwidth choice of 200 or 300MHz, 280Mpts of memory, 2GSa/s sampling rate (single channel), up to 270,000wfm/s refresh rate, and a 7.5Ah Li battery for extended field use. This portable instrument combines a capacitive 8” TFT LCD touch screen (touch, drag, and swipe) with traditional ‘button & knob’ operation to make scope operation easy and efficient. An external USB mouse can also be connected for additional control choices.
PCI Express 5.0 OCP NIC 3.0 Interposer
27 June 2022 – Teledyne LeCroy announced availability of a PCI Express 5.0 Open Compute Project (OCP) Network Interface Card (NIC) 3.0 interposer that works in combination with Teledyne LeCroy’s Summit family of PCI Express 5.0 protocol analyzers. The new OCP interposer allows engineers to test product designs that incorporate OCP NIC 3.0 with PCIe 5.0, NVM Express (NVMe) or Compute Express Link (CXL) technologies. The PCIe 5.0 OCP interposer joins the list of CrossSync PHY enabled interposers, allowing users to debug enhanced power management and link training equalization through correlated and time aligned physical and protocol layer views.
100MHz Battery-Portable Oscilloscopes
23 June 2022 - Saelig Company introduced the Micsig STO1004 four-channel battery-powered portable oscilloscope, which offers 100MHz bandwidth, 70Mpts memory, 1GSa/s sampling (single channel), 130,000wfm/s refresh rate, and a 7.5Ah Li battery for extended field use. Improvements over previous Micsig models include an intelligent bidirectional Universal Probe Interface for accommodating and powering smart probes such as those with differential inputs and new joystick control buttons. A smartphone app is also available for remote instrument control.
Isolated Channel PC Oscilloscope
17 June 2022 - Cleverscope introduced the CS548, a 2kV DC isolated channel oscilloscope designed to be useful anywhere isolation and high CMRR are needed - in particular power electronics, including on the high side. Using the CS1200 IsoPod allows a >30kV isolation. The new CS548 features 100 dB CMRR at 50 MHz, Frequency Response Analysis, Component LCR measurement, MSPS streaming to disk for days, high resolution spectra, sophisticated maths, Matlab and Excel live, external sampling clock, Ethernet or USB, Isolated Signal Generator, and mixed signal capture.
10 kV High-Voltage Oscilloscope Probe
15 June 2022 - Cal Test Electronics introduced the CT4432 High-Voltage Oscilloscope Probe. The CT4432 has a 10 kV maximum voltage input rating and is cTUVus listed. The CT4432 High-Voltage Oscilloscope Probe enables the user to safely measure voltage levels up to 10 kV. With the Cal Test Electronics name and certification by cTUVus, the user can be confident this test accessory is both reliable and safe. The CT4432 is covered by a two-year warranty.
SIGLENT launched its first Oscilloscopes with 12-bit vertical Resolution
13 June 2022 - SIGLENT Technologies has introduced a new 12-bit oscilloscope series. Compared to 8-bit ADCs, 12-bit systems have 16x higher vertical resolution which provides significantly lower quantization error. This improvement in resolution is valuable when analyzing the smallest signal details, and is especially useful when the zoom function is used. The analog-to-digital converters have a maximum sampling rate of 2 GS/s and all models in the series come with 4 analog input channels. All oscilloscopes are equipped with two AD converters and 2 x 200 Mpt acquisition memory. With four activated channels, this results in a minimum sampling rate of 1GS/s and a memory depth of 100 MPkt at each channel.
Rohde & Schwarz enhances its R&S RTP High-Performance Oscilloscope
10 June 2022 - Rohde & Schwarz introduced the new generation of R&S RTP high-performance oscilloscopes, which combine high-class signal integrity measurements with the fastest possible acquisition for real-time analysis. The new models come with a bigger and brighter 13.3” full HD touchscreen and a fully redesigned front panel. Users can take advantage of the crisp 16:9 screen format, which displays waveforms while allowing settings to be altered and changed quickly. The intuitive front panel increases productivity with fast, direct access to primary instrument settings.

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.
