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.

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."
