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.
Oscilloscopes for mmWave Wideband Analysis up to 110 GHz
02 April 2020 - Keysight Technologies announced a new cost effective and flexible single channel instrument specifically designed to accelerate development of next generation mmWave communications, satellite communications, and radar applications. It enables a flexible wideband analysis up to 110 GHz.

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.
