30 September 2024 - Pico Technology announced the launch of the MSO (Mixed-Signal Oscilloscope) versions of the PicoScope 3000E Series. The latest additions combine cutting-edge technology with user-friendly design to meet the diverse needs of engineers, technicians and researchers worldwide. These new MSO models offer the same powerful features as the existing 3000E series, with added digital channel capability, making them ideal for testing and debugging mixed-signal embedded systems.
12 September 2024 - Yokogawa Test & Measurement Corporation announces the release of its DLM3000HD series high-definition oscilloscopes supported by new IS8002CDV Classic Data Viewer (CDV) software. The compact and lightweight multi-channel DLM3000HD meets market demand for high-precision, high-speed measurement of complex digital waveforms during inverter/motor development and testing. With a lineup spanning 500 MHz and 350 MHz frequency bandwidth models, the combination of proprietary low-noise detection and high resolution allows technicians to perform studies in minute detail, faster than ever before. The new IS8002CDV software further supports expediency with its rapid response times, swift analysis of measurement data, and advanced algorithms.
05 September 2024 - Keysight Technologies introduces the InfiniiVision HD3 Series, a 14-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) oscilloscope, delivering four times the signal resolution and half the noise floor of other general-purpose oscilloscopes. Newly designed and built from the ground up with a custom application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) and deep memory architecture, the HD3 Series enables engineers to quickly detect and fix signal issues in a variety of applications.
14 August 2024 – Tektronix launched the TAP1500L, an active, single-ended probe equipped with a seven-meter probe cable. The launch of the TAP1500L probe underscores Tektronix’s unwavering commitment to pioneering probing technology, building off the success of the company’s IsoVu Probe which has the ability to virtually eliminate common mode interference using optical isolation. A modification to the existing TAP1500 active single-ended probe, this new version features a cable that is 5.7 meters longer than the original.
06 August 2024 - Tektronix shared the availability of a new remote procedure call (RPC)-based solution, TekHSI, for faster data transfer from testing instruments to a user’s PC. TekHSI (Tektronix’s high speed interface) functions as a new firmware capability on the Tektronix MSO 4B, 5 and 6 Series models (including B and LP instrument renditions). The abstractions provided in TekHSI make it possible to achieve higher data transfer speeds with easy-to-use implementation and scaling abilities, and TekHSI enables Tektronix customers to capture the highest performance output from an instrument’s physical link, such as ethernet, and transfer data at higher speeds.
17 July 2024 - Rohde & Schwarz further strengthens its oscilloscope portfolio by introducing the industry’s first ASIC-based zone triggering. With this new approach, the MXO series can offer the world’s fastest zone trigger update rate of up to 600.000 waveforms per second and less than 1.45 us blind time between trigger events. It is up to 10 000 faster than competitive zone triggering offerings. Thanks to the new ASIC-based zone triggering, MXO oscilloscopes can precisely isolate events where traditional triggering does not provide the needed flexibility.
26 June 2024 - Pico Technology announced a significant enhancement to its PicoScope range. Effective immediately, all PicoScope oscilloscopes now include a serial decoder for the 10BASE-T1S automotive Ethernet standard. This addition marks a milestone, bringing the total number of serial decoders available free of charge with PicoScope 7 software to 40 – more than any other oscilloscope in the market. The software is compatible with all current PicoScope models and legacy models marketed in the past seven years or longer.
14 June 2024 - Rohde & Schwarz developed the R&S RT-ZISO isolated probing system, further elevating its cutting-edge oscilloscope portfolio. The new R&S RT-ZISO enables extremely accurate measurements of fast switching signals, especially in environments with high common-mode voltages and currents. Also new is the R&S RT-ZPMMCX passive probe with MMCX connector, which complements the isolated probe system perfectly for certain measurement tasks. The R&S RT-ZISO will set new standards in isolated probe technology, delivering unprecedented accuracy, sensitivity, dynamic range, and bandwidth for next generation wide bandgap (WBG) power designs with SiC and GaN.
13 June 2024 - Pico Technology expanded its PicoScope 3000 series with the introduction of the World's first USB-powered 5 GS/s oscilloscopes. Two models, with 350 MHz and 500 MHz bandwidth respectively, have 5 GS/s sampling rate and 10 bits resolution (up to 14 bits with Enhanced Resolution). They set the standard for next generation waveform measurement and analysis with power, performance and portability in the field of test and measurement equipment.
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.
