Handheld Oscilloscopes - Product Overview
Handheld oscilloscopes are mainly used for field test, troubleshooting, maintenance and installation. Most instruments are ruggedized for use in harsh enviroments and include a recording function to capture long-term signal behavior. There many different instrument types in a wide price range available on the market. The following comparison chart provides a product overview with some main selection criteria. We focus on products with a bandwidth of at least 50 MHz. Some handheld oscilloscopes offer also additional features such as digital voltmeter (DVM), arbitrary waveform generator, logic analyzer, protocol analyzer, FFT or spectrum analyzer.
USB 3.1 End-to-End Test Suite
30 March 2015 – Teledyne LeCroy introduces the QPHY-USB3.1-Tx-Rx package for automated USB 3.1 transmitter (Tx) and receiver (Rx) ing, characterization, and debug, creating a unique and comprehensive USB 3.1 test suite. With the new test package, USB 3.1 testing can be performed on both Gen1 (5 Gb/s) and Gen2 (10 Gb/s) devices under test according to the latest USB 3.1 specifications.
Pulse Amplitude Modulation Analysis with Real-Time Oscilloscopes
26 March 2015 – Keysight Technologies launched a new measurement software for characterization of PAM-4 (pulse amplitude modulation with four amplitude levels) signals using the Keysight V-Series, Z-Series, and S-Series real-time oscilloscope platforms. The Keysight N8827A PAM-4 analysis software (for V- and Z-Series oscilloscopes) and N8827B PAM-4 analysis software (for S-Series oscilloscopes) provides comprehensive analysis of electrical PAM-4 signals.
Tektronix announces 70 GHz Real-Time Oscilloscope
24 March 2015 – Tektronix announced the DPO70000SX 70 GHz ATI Performance Oscilloscope featuring the lowest-noise and highest effective bits of any ultra-high bandwidth real-time oscilloscope available on the market. The new oscilloscope incorporates a range of innovations that enable it to more effectively meet the current and future needs of engineers and scientists developing high-speed coherent optical systems or performing leading-edge research.
Optical Test Solution for 100GBASE-SR4
20 March 2015 - Tektronix launched a new high sensitivity Clock Recovery Trigger Pickoff (CRTP) option for its 100G broad wavelength 80C15 Optical Sampling Module for use with DSA8300 Digital Serial Analyzer sampling oscilloscopes. This is the first and only test solution with signal sensitivity sufficient to test optical devices and perform clock recovery required by the recently approved 100GBASE-SR4 (IEEE 802.3bm) specification.
MIPI M-PHY Automated Physical Layer Compliance Test
16 March 2015 – Teledyne LeCroy announces an automated physical layer transmitter compliance test capability for the MIPI M-PHY standard. The new compliance test software, QPHY-MIPI-MPHY can measure a large number of cycles in a short period of time. Testing can be done on HS-MODE, PWM-MODE and SYS-MODE signals at all currently specified GEARs. A new active termination adaptor specifically designed for M-PHY testing ensures connection between the device under test and the oscilloscope is made in a simple, cost-effective, high fidelity manner.

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.
