First Electrical Test Solution for USB4
30 January 2020 – Teledyne LeCroy announceed the QualiPHY USB4 Electrical Transmitter (Tx) and Receiver (Rx) Compliance Test Software (QPHY-USB4-TX-RX) for its LabMaster 10 Zi-A and WaveMaster/SDA 8 Zi-B oscilloscopes used in conjunction with Anritsu’s Signal Quality Analyzer-R (SQA-R) MP1900A BERT. This announcement follows Teledyne LeCroy’s shipment of the first (and only) USB4 Protocol Analyzer in September of 2019.
New Approach for Signal Integrity Debugging
27 January 2020 - A new approach helps development engineers gain more insight into the individual jitter components of their transmission interface. Now they can separate jitter into its random and deterministic components and view results flexibly for effective debugging. The Rohde & Schwarz decomposition algorithm uses a parametric signal model for accurate measurements and additional result representations.
Siglent launched new 2/4-channel 100-350Hz Oscilloscopes
16 January 2020 - Siglent introduced the new SDS2000X Plus Digital Oscilloscope Series consisting of four models: one 2-channel 100MHz bandwidth (software upgradeable to 350MHz) and three 4-channel models (100/200/350MHz.) The 350MHz models can be upgraded to 500MHz on two independent channels. A large 10.1" capacitive touch-screen supports multi-touch gestures.
Differential Probing Solution for DDR5/LPDDR5
20 December 2019 - Keysight Technologies announced the MX0023A InfiniiMax RC, a new high speed differential probing solution for Double Data Rate 5 (DDR5) and Low Power Double Data Rate 5 (LPDDR5). The MX0023A InfiniiMax RC probe features a bandwidth of up to 25 GHz and an RC input impedance profile for extremely low mid-band loading.
Testing and Debugging of Automotive Ethernet
25 November 2019 - Pico Technology released a new BroadReach decoder/analyzer package that simplifies Automotive Ethernet integration testing and debugging. The package includes a novel non-intrusive Software Directional Coupler to separate up- and downstream traffic on full-duplex communication lines.
200 MHz to 1 GHz Oscilloscopes with 12-bit Resolution
06 November 2019 – Teledyne LeCroy launched the WaveSurfer 4000HD High Definition Oscilloscope (HDO), the first in its class to feature 12-bit vertical resolution at all times, showing clean, crisp waveforms on a bright, 12.1” touch screen display. WaveSurfer 4000HD is available in bandwidths from 200 MHz to 1 GHz, with sample rates of up to 5 GS/s and up to 12.5 Mpts of acquisition memory on each channel (25 Mpts interleaved). It offers versatile built-in capabilities for embedded systems debug and is compatible with Teledyne LeCroy’s comprehensive probe offerings.
Portable Oscilloscope with USB, LAN or WiFi Connection
04 November 2019 - TiePie engineering introduced the WiFiScope series oscilloscopes. The new range WiFi oscilloscopes can be used via an ethernet connection (LAN, WiFi or WAN) but also still with a USB 2.0 / 3.0 connection. The built-in battery gives the WiFiScope the possibility to perform fully wireless measurements. Measurements can then be performed completely galvanically isolated, and over long distances.

Oscilloscope History and Milestones
Oscilloscopes have been invented in the 1920s. Up to now this instrument encountered many innovations. In the beginning the most important manufacturers have been General Radio, DuMont, General Electric and Radio Corporation of America. Later Cossor and later Solartron dominated the market. Today the main players are Keysight, Tektronix and Teledyne LeCroy. Below we listed some important oscilloscope milestones.
