Collection of Measurement Data from multiple Instruments
03 March 2021 - Yokogawa Test & Measurement released the IS8000 integrated measurement software platform for the control of and the collection of data and generation of reports from multiple measuring instruments. The IS8000 software combines the functions of software that had previously been provided for individual measuring instruments and is able to provide total support for all measurement tasks, from the connection of instruments to the creation of reports, thus helping to improve product development efficiency.
PCI Express 5.0 Transceiver and Reference Clock Test Solution
01 March 2021 - Tektronix developed in collaboration with Anritsu a new PCI EXPRESS 5.0 transceiver (Base and CEM) and reference clock solution, becoming the first company to offer early CEM fixtures for pre-compliance testing. The collaboration between Tektronix and Anritsu enables industry-leading receiver verification, complementing a world-class transmitter and reference clock test suite.
Modular Oscilloscopes for Rack Integration
18 February 2021 - Rigol Technologies presented the new DS8000-R series oscilloscopes integrated in a faceless module intended for rack integration. Occupying half a rack in width and 1U in height these modular oscilloscopes are equipped with four analog inputs and cover a frequency range of up to 2 GHz. DS8000-R series digital oscilloscope is a compact mid-to-high-end digital oscilloscope based on RIGOL's UltraVision II platform. With a compact design, DS8000-R supports multi-machine system integration, suitable for rack installation.
Combination of Oscilloscope and Datalogger
16 February 2021 - Yokogawa Test & Measurement Corporation announced the DL950 ScopeCorder, a high-precision data acquisition system. The DL950 is the successor to the DL850 and DL850V ScopeCorder series that were released in 2010, and features a number of enhancements that improve both functionality and operability. In addition, two new input modules are being released for the DL950; these are the 720212, which is capable of reading data at 200 mega-samples per second (MS/s), and the 720256, which can read data from four input channels at 10 MS/s. By the fall of this year, Yokogawa will also release an optional flash acquisition function for the storage of high-sampling-rate data in embedded non-volatile memory.
First Trigger and Decode Solution for 1000BASE-T1 Automotive Ethernet
08 February 2021 - With the new K58 option for its oscilloscopes R&S RTO and R&S RTP, Rohde & Schwarz launches the world’s first triggering and decoding solution for 1000BASE-T1, further extending its leading position in test solutions for automotive. Similar to the existing 100BASE-T1 or CAN bus analysis and decode capability, OEMs and Tier1 suppliers now have the possibility to analyse and decode the latest bus speeds at the leading edge of automotive digital design.
IEEE 802.3ch Multi-Gigabit Ethernet Compliance Test Solution
05 February 2021 – Tektronix launched the TekExpress Multi-Gigabit Automotive Ethernet Compliance Test Solution as the first-in-market solution to meet the requirements of complex automotive designs. As newer automotive technologies such as autonomous driving, 5G and connected car solutions develop, the paths carrying the vast amount of data necessary to support those technologies must be tested to ensure reliable transfers between a vehicle’s electronic sub-systems.
2-, 4- and 8-channel Oscilloscopes with 12-bit vertical Resolution
13 January 2021 - Pico Technology announced the new PicoScope 4000A Series PC-based oscilloscopes, a second-generation upgrade and expansion of the company's high-resolution, deep-memory product portfolio. With 2-, 4- and 8-channel models available, the PicoScope 4000A Series boasts 12-bit hardware resolution (to 16 bits with Resolution Enhancement), 256 MS deep capture memory, 20 MHz bandwidth with 80 MS/s sampling speed, up to 70 dB SFDR and a built-in 14-bit triggerable signal generator and 80 MS/s AWG. A SuperSpeed USB 3.0 interface powers the instrument and delivers up to 160 MS/s communications to the host PC.
