WLAN Digital Storage Oscilloscope
21 January 2015 - Velleman offers the world's first WLAN dual channel digital storage oscilloscope. The WFS210 is a compact, portable battery powered fully featured two channel oscilloscope. Instead of a built-in screen it uses a tablet (iOS, Android) or a PC (Windows) to display the measurements. Data exchange between the tablet and the oscilloscope is via WLAN.
USB Oscilloscopes - Product Overview (Low-end)
USB oscilloscopes are are becoming increasingly popular. Nevertheless there is a wide range of instruments available starting from less than one hundred up to several thousands of dollars. The following comparison chart provides a list of products with some important selection criteria. The list covers products in the low-end price range from 100 to 500 USD and with a bandwidth of at least 50 MHz. Most of USB PC scopes are pure digital oscilloscopes (DSO) but some offer also mixed-signal functions (MSO) or even additional features such as arbitrary waveform generator (AWG), logic analyzer, protocol analyzer or spectrum analyzer.
Keysight adds Touch Screen and Zone Triggering to Mainstream Oscilloscopes
14 January 2015 – Keysight Technologies introduced InfiniiVision 3000T X-Series digital-storage and mixed signal oscilloscopes with intuitive graphical triggering capability. This new oscilloscope series delivers capacitive touch screens and zone triggering to the mainstream oscilloscope market for the first time. The scopes help engineers overcome usability and triggering challenges and improve their problem-solving capability and productivity.
1 GHz USB Oscilloscope with integrated Spectrum Analyzer and Waveform Generator
12 January 2015 - Analog Arts introduces the SG985 family of USB-powered portable test systems. The series includes a 2-channel oscilloscope, a spectrum analyzer, a data recorder, and an arbitrary waveform generator.

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.

A simple method to verify the bandwidth of your probe
In oscilloscopes or oscilloscope probes, bandwidth is a measure of the width of a range of frequencies measured in Hertz. Specifically, bandwidth is specified as the frequency at which a sinusoidal input signal is attenuated to 70.7 percent of its original amplitude, also known as the -3 dB point. Most oscilloscope companies design the scope/probe response to be as flat as possible throughout its specified frequency range, and most customers simply rely on the specified bandwidth of the oscilloscope or oscilloscope probes, wondering if they are indeed getting the bandwidth performance at the probe tip. Now you can use these step-by-step instructions to simply measure and verify the bandwidth of your probe with an oscilloscope you may already have.
