Free two-day digital Oscilloscope Seminar Event
03 May 2021 — Rohde & Schwarz announced the Oscilloscope Days seminar event. Held in May 2021 and catering to electronics engineers from around Europe and beyond, participation at the Oscilloscope Days 2021 is free. The live sessions will be streamed simultaneously in English, German, French and Russian. The event is organized by Rohde & Schwarz in partnership with Würth Elektronik and Farnell.
1 GHz Mixed-Signal PC Oscilloscope with active Probes
27 April 2021 - Pico Technology announced four new 4-channel models of its PicoScope 6000E Series mixed-signal oscilloscopes (MSOs), each of which can be configured with 16 optional digital channels. With bandwidths of 750 MHz or 1 GHz, 8-bit or 8/10/12-bit Flexible Resolution and up to 4 GS deep capture memory, these products enhance the existing PicoScope 6000E portfolio, adding to the 350 MHz and 500 MHz models that were introduced in 2020.
Teledyne LeCroy launched new Series of High Definition Oscilloscopes
23 April 2021 – Teledyne LeCroy unveiled the newest additions to its High Definition Oscilloscope family: the HDO6000B Series. The HDO6000B is the first oscilloscope to integrate Waveform Generation and Spectrum analysis into an instrument with uncompromised 12 bit resolution and a vibrant 15.6” display. It covers the range from 350 MHz to 1 GHz bandwidth and offers a sample rate of 10 GS/s and long memories of up to 250 Megapoints.
IEEE 802.3ch MultiGBASE-T1 Automotive Ethernet Compliance Test
19 April 2021 - The new K88 option for R&S RTO and R&S RTP oscilloscopes from Rohde & Schwarz enables compliance testing on the next evolution of the automotive Ethernet standard. The new IEEE 802.3ch standard addresses the need for high speed networking and data transfers within the car. The R&S RTO-K88 and RTP-K88 compliance test software options for MultiGBASE-T1 are now available from Rohde & Schwarz.
Consistent Graphical Interface simplifies Data Management and Analysis
16 March 2021 - Keysight Technologies launched a portfolio of Smart Bench Essentials (SBE) lab bench products that deliver the power of four unique instruments, including a triple-output power supply, an arbitrary function generator, a digital multimeter and an oscilloscope, through one powerful graphical interface offering integrated data management and analysis capabilities.
Two-channel 5 GHz and 16 GHz Sampling Oscilloscopes
08 March 2021 - Pico Technology has added the PicoScope 9402-05 and 9402-16 two-channel models to their 5 GHz and 16 GHz SXRTOs. The new models join the 9404-05 and 9404-16 four-channel models launched last year. Ideally suited to repetitive or clock-derived signals, all models feature high-resolution 12-bit channels, each supported by real-time sampling to 500 MS/s per channel and up to 2.5 TS/s (0.4 ps) random equivalent-time sampling. These are voltage and timing resolutions that match or more typically exceed the best available amongst broadband real-time oscilloscopes today.
Analyze PCI Express across Physical and Protocol Layers
08 March 2021 – Teledyne LeCroy introduced the CrossSync PHY interposers and software options, enabling the first-ever link between an oscilloscope and a protocol analyzer to allow engineers to get a complete picture when testing the PCI Express (PCIe) interface standard. When testing and debugging PCIe, engineers use protocol analyzers to view protocol messages between components over a relatively long period of time. Engineers also need to use oscilloscopes to measure PCIe electrical performance at the physical layer with a high degree of resolution.

Oscilloscope Probes – Vital Link in the Measurement Chain
Signal measurement results can only be as accurate as the test and measurement tools in use. As clock rates and edge speeds of today’s electronic circuits increase, probing becomes a critical piece of the measurement system – the component that comes in direct contact with your circuit. This article looks at voltage probing considerations for embedded system and digital design debugging applications.

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.
