17 October 2025 — Rohde & Schwarz expands its next-generation MXO oscilloscope portfolio with the compact four- and eight-channel MXO 3 series. The MXO 3 delivers fast and precise advanced MXO technology – previously available only in larger, higher-priced models – in an extremely compact form factor at a more affordable price point. This oscilloscope allows engineers to see more of their device under test’s signal than any other instrument in this class. All MXO 3 models come standard with up to 99 % real-time capture, which is up to 50 times better than competitors’ instruments, enabling users to instantly see more signal details and rare events.
14 October 2025 - Keysight Technologies launched the UALink 1.0 (Ultra Accelerator Link) transmitter test solution, a dedicated compliance test tool for UALink devices. The new test application enables high-speed validation within advanced computing and AI interconnect systems, automating critical electrical measurements to ensure signal integrity and standard conformance at 200 Gb/s link speeds. Keysight’s UALink 1.0 test solution streamlines transmitter compliance testing by introducing automated procedures. Tasks that typically take hours of manual work can now be completed in minutes with a Keysight UXR Real-Time Oscilloscope and the new UALink 1.0 transmitter application.
30 September 2025 - Anritsu Corporation has launched the MP2110A-080, a 60 GHz optical sampling oscilloscope option for the BERTWave MP2110A. This solution enables accurate measurement of key optical signal parameters as defined by industry standards, supporting the development and manufacturing of 200G/Lane and 1.6T optical transceivers for high-capacity data centers and AI infrastructure.
26 September 2025 - Pico Technology has officially released pyPicoSDK, a new Python package designed to simplify the use of PicoScopes. Built on top of the existing PicoSDK, pyPicoSDK allows engineers, developers and hobbyists to create Python scripts that control their PicoScope devices more quickly and easily. The new library is an extension of the picosdk-python-packages, bundling all direct driver functions into a single group. It also includes built-in helper functions that reduce the complexity of many PicoScope operations. This design reflects Python’s core philosophy, enabling users to build solutions with speed and simplicity.
