SIGLENT launched its first Oscilloscopes with 12-bit vertical Resolution
13 June 2022 - SIGLENT Technologies has introduced a new 12-bit oscilloscope series. Compared to 8-bit ADCs, 12-bit systems have 16x higher vertical resolution which provides significantly lower quantization error. This improvement in resolution is valuable when analyzing the smallest signal details, and is especially useful when the zoom function is used. The analog-to-digital converters have a maximum sampling rate of 2 GS/s and all models in the series come with 4 analog input channels. All oscilloscopes are equipped with two AD converters and 2 x 200 Mpt acquisition memory. With four activated channels, this results in a minimum sampling rate of 1GS/s and a memory depth of 100 MPkt at each channel.
Rohde & Schwarz enhances its R&S RTP High-Performance Oscilloscope
10 June 2022 - Rohde & Schwarz introduced the new generation of R&S RTP high-performance oscilloscopes, which combine high-class signal integrity measurements with the fastest possible acquisition for real-time analysis. The new models come with a bigger and brighter 13.3” full HD touchscreen and a fully redesigned front panel. Users can take advantage of the crisp 16:9 screen format, which displays waveforms while allowing settings to be altered and changed quickly. The intuitive front panel increases productivity with fast, direct access to primary instrument settings.
Tektronix launched 2 Series Mixed Signal Oscilloscopes
08 June 2022 - Tektronix unveiled the 2 Series Mixed Signal Oscilloscope (MSO). The new 2 Series MSO can go seamlessly from the bench to the field and back, enabling workflows previously unimagined on a scope. It is the first portable oscilloscope to offer benchtop performance and the award-winning Tektronix user interface. Weighing less than 1.8kgs and 38mm thin, the 2 Series MSO can fit into a small backpack, delivering unmatched performance and portability.
Simplified System Integration Debugging with USB Type-C Test Coupon Fixtures
07 June 2022 – Teledyne LeCroy announced USB Type-C High-speed and Sideband Test Coupon Fixtures that provide the industry’s first oscilloscope solution for high-speed probing and analysis of an active data link at the USB Type-C connector. Additional connection to a Teledyne LeCroy protocol analyzer provides complete debug capability of any USB Type-C link negotiation failure.
MultiGBASE-T1 Automotive Ethernet Standard Compliance Test Solution
16 May 2022 - Teledyne LeCroy annouced a new MultiGBASE-T1 Automotive Ethernet standard compliance test solution. QPHY-MultiGBase-T1 is a software package which automates compliance testing and validation of 2.5G, 5G and 10G Automotive Ethernet, as is described in the MultGBase-T1 (IEEE 802.3ch) specification. Detailed connection diagrams ensure the proper setup and provide information about the required test pattern for each test. Upon completion of the test session, results are automatically compiled into a comprehensive report including screenshots.
