Pico Technology extends range of PC-based Mixed Signal Oscilloscopes
26 May 2020 - Pico Technology announced three new 4-channel models of its PicoScope 6000E Series oscilloscopes, each of which can be configured with 16 optional digital channels. With bandwidths of 300 or 500 MHz, 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 8-channel models that were introduced earlier in the year.
Keysight launched 6 GHz Mixed Signal Oscilloscopes with up to 8 Channels
14 May 2020 - Keysight Technologies announced the first oscilloscope with 8 analog channels at 6 GHz and 16 simultaneous digital channels, enabling customers to reduce test bench and workflow complexity to achieve higher performance as well as accurate and repeatable multi-channel measurements in a single instrument.
New: OScopes now includes an Application Note and Whitepaper Library
13 May 2020 - To provide our readers additional information about how to use oscilloscopes and how to solve their measurement challenges we enhanced OScopes with the new "KnowledgeBase" Application Note and Whitepaper Library. It includes a full text search and selection functions to fast and easy identify articles containing the information our readers are looking for.
Multi-Channel Probe Positioning System
12 May 2020 - Oscilloscopes with more than two channels present humans with a common problem: none of us have enough hands to hold more than two oscilloscope probes in place. This is especially an issue when using an 8-channel oscilloscope such as the new PicoScope 6800E devices, so it was particularly important for Pico Technology to address it.
Tektronix extends Performance of TBS2000 Digital Storage Oscilloscopes
04 May 2020 - Tektronixy announced the new TBS2000B Series of Digital Storage Oscilloscopes that was developed to meet the performance, usability and affordability needs of both engineers and educators. The TBS2000B scopes extend the performance of the TBS2000 portfolio to 200 MHz with 2GS/s maximum sample rate.
GW Instek introduced new Entry-Level Digital Oscilloscope
24 April 2020 - GW Instek added the GDS-1202B to its GDS-1000B series of digital oscilloscopes, which included so far 100/70/50MHz bandwidth options. The GDS-1202B is a 200MHz dual channel model intended to the educational market and users with basic test requirements.
Diagnostic Oscilloscopes for Vehicles
14 April 2020 - Pico Technology launched the new PicoScope 4425A and 4225A diagnostic oscilloscopes, available in 4-channel and 2-channel configurations. This latest diagnostic PicoScope combines all the strengths of the existing 4425/4225 labscopes but adds a smart interface for powered and intelligent accessories (PicoBNC+), which combines the standard BNC with an active digital connection and power. The 4425A and 4225A continue to work with all existing BNC probes and accessories, preserving investments.

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.

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.
