USB 3.2 Transmitter and Receiver Compliance Testing
06 June 2024 - The USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF) has approved the USB 3.2 Gen 1 & Gen 2 transmitter and receiver compliance test solution from Rohde & Schwarz, confirming that it meets the stringent requirements set by the standardization body. Manufacturers of USB devices preparing for official USB-IF certification can have full confidence in the accuracy and reliability of the test results produced by the test solution. The options R&S RTP-K101 for Tx and R&S RTP-K102 for Rx enables manufacturers to test their USB devices for compliance with the USB 3.2 standard, using the R&S RTP oscilloscope from Rohde & Schwarz.
High Voltage Differential Probe for up to 7000 Vpk
31 May 2024 - Micsig released the latest model of its high-voltage differential probe - the DP7000. This new model, building on the performance of the original MDP series, has further increased the test voltage from the original 3000 Vpk to 7000 Vpk, bringing a more powerful measurement tool to the field of electronic testing.
Compact Oscilloscope for Rack Mount
15 May 2024 - Rohde & Schwarz extends its portfolio with a 2U high oscilloscope/digitizer tailored for rack mount and other applications where a low-profile form factor is critical. The new MXO 5C series is the company’s first oscilloscope without an integrated display. It delivers the same performance as the previously introduced MXO 5 series, but with a fourth of the vertical height.
Batronix develops its own Oscilloscope
29 April 2024 - German measurement technology distributor Batronix has developed its own 4-channel oscilloscope with up to 350 MHz bandwidth, the Magnova BMO350. The oscilloscope is available with a bandwidth of 100, 200 or 350 MHz and features a 1.6 GSa/s sampling rate, 12-bit A/D converter, 320 Mpts memory depth and 39.6 cm touch display with full HD resolution (1920x1080 pixels). It can be upgraded to an MSO with 16 channel logic analyser and 1 channel 90 MHz function generator. Batronix has broken new ground in the development of the Magnova. It is not just another oscilloscope, everything has been redesigned from the ground up.
Spectrum Analysis of up to 8 simultaneous Signals
26 April 2024 - Tektronix released its SignalVu Spectrum Analyzer Software, Version 5.4, for multi-channel modulation analysis of up to eight signals in parallel. Engineers can use this software to turn their existing oscilloscope into a comprehensive wireless system tester, instead of investing in a dedicated tester such as a vector signal analyzer. It is particularly valuable for applications requiring time-domain analysis with RF measurements. The package runs on Tektronix 5 Series MSO, 6 Series MSO or DPO70000 oscilloscopes.
5-in-1 Programmable Oscilloscopes
25 March 2024 - Saelig Company introduced the GW Instek MPO-2000 Series Multifunction Programmable Oscilloscopes. These instruments combine, in one space-saving box, a full-featured oscilloscope, a spectrum analyzer, an arbitrary waveform generator, a digital multimeter, and a 2-channel 20VDC power supply. In addition to its five-in-one multi-functional architecture, it features Python script functionality into the MPO-2000, enabling users to create a small, low-cost automated test system without an external controlling PC. Python is widely used in scientific computing, data analysis, web development, artificial intelligence, and other fields since it is easy to learn and use.
Decode, Trigger & Search Support for the CAN XL Protocol
20 March 2024 - Tektronix announced the release of the Tektronix CAN XL (Controller Area Network Extended Length) protocol decoder, enabling engineers incorporating the latest generation of CAN communications, and helping Tektronix customers compete in today’s fast-changing technology landscape. With the ability to decode signals representing data packets transmitted using CAN XL frames in a CAN network, the Tektronix CAN XL protocol decoder runs on today’s 4, 5, 6 Series MSO Oscilloscopes and also offers critical features such as error detection, analysis and debugging of timing and protocol headers.

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.
