PC Software with enhanced Multi-Scope Analysis
11 November 2020 - Tektronix launched a new feature to its TekScope PC Software. TekScope PC Software with enhanced Multi-Scope Analysis allows remote users to view and analyze data from up to 32 channels from multiple scopes at the same time in the same interface, accelerating analysis efficiency. TekScope is compatible with data taken from all Tektronix scopes so users can leverage Tektronix's UI and analysis features for all existing scopes.
Oscilloscope KnowledeBase inculdes already more than 90 documents
30 October 2020 - The new Oscilloscope KnowledeBase of OScopes.info, a whitepaper and application note library focussing on oscilloscopes, includes already more than 90 whitepapers, application notes, YouTube videos and webinars, covering a wide range of applications and topics.
Isolated Oscilloscope Probes for Testing Power Systems
27 October 2020 -- Tektronix announced its second-generation IsoVu Isolated Oscilloscope Probes, the TIVP Series, which significantly advance the capabilities of the ground-breaking probes first introduced in 2016. The second-generation IsoVu probes extend the applications for isolated probe technology to the entire power system design market with a smaller size, improved ease of use, and enhanced electrical performance.
Oscilloscope approved for USB4 Testing
25 September 2020 – Teledyne LeCroy announced that the LabMaster 10 Zi-A real-time oscilloscope and Anritsu Signal Quality Analyzer-R Series MP1900A have been approved by the USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF) for USB4 electrical physical layer transmitter (Tx) and receiver (Rx) compliance certification testing.
First 10 GHz oscilloscope with 4, 6 or 8 Channels
15 September 2020 - Tektronix announced the availability of the new 6 Series B Mixed Signal Oscilloscope (MSO) which extends the performance threshold of the Tektronix Mainstream Oscilloscopes Portfolio to 10 GHz and 50 GS/sec. Developed to meet the demand for high-speed data movement and processing in embedded designs, the enhanced 6 Series B MSO offers leading signal fidelity with 12-bit ADCs and extremely low noise, 10 GHz bandwidth and up to 8 FlexChannel inputs, enabling users to confidently analyze and debug today's embedded systems while enjoying exceptional ease of use.
Yokogawa launched new 8-Channel Mixed Signal Oscilloscope
31 August 2020 - Yokogawa launched the DLM5000, a new generation mixed signal oscilloscope with options for four or eight analog inputs. The new oscilloscope is the successor to the previous 8-channel DLM4000 model. With redesigned hardware, the DLM5000 offers major improvements in both performance and operability, including a sampling rate double that of the DLM4000. The DLM5000 is ideal for developing high-performance and intelligent power-semiconductor technologies and mechatronics applied in modern electric vehicles, motor controls and energy efficient electronic designs.
Oscilloscope Platform for testing 56 GBd and 28 GBd Applications
25 August 2020 - Tektronix announced the new 8 Series sampling platform, a disaggregated modular instrument series boasting parallel acquisition, with up to 4 channels per mainframe and the highest measurement accuracy for PAM4 optical signals on multiple inputs simultaneously. The 8 Series consists of the TSO820 Sampling Oscilloscope Mainframe, optical sampling modules, and TSOVu, a new software platform that runs independent of the mainframe on host PC for both live and offline processing of acquired data.

Digitizer and Oscilloscope - Equal Alternatives?
Can a digitizer be used as an oscilloscope? What is the difference between an oscilloscope and a digitizer? Should I better use a digitizer or an oscilloscope in my next application? These are interesting questions and the best way to start to answer these is the look up the dictionary definition of an oscilloscope: "An electronic instrument used to measure changing electric voltages. It displays the waveforms of electric oscillations on a screen."

Digital Debugging - better using a Mixed-Signal-Oscilloscope or a Logic Analyzer?
Today’s technology is fundamentally balanced on an increasingly fine line between the analogue and digital domains; as data speeds increase — both within and between devices — the ‘ideal world’ of fast, clean digital transitions becomes evermore difficult to achieve. This presents new and escalating challenges when verifying faster digital signals that exhibit more and more analogue-like features. As a result it is becoming necessary to remove the hard line between digital and analogue.
