Long Range Wireless Multi Instrument Synchronization
14 July 2023 - The Wireless Multi Instrument Synchronization Module WCMI-8 of TiePie is the world’s first module to wireless synchronize multiple oscilloscopes over a long distance of up to 400 meters and combine them to a single instrument. The WiFiScope and Handyscope series 5 and 6 instruments of TiePie are suitable to be used with the WCMI-8 module. The WCMI-8 module is placed on the extension connector at the rear of each oscilloscope and the Multi Channel oscilloscope software automatically detects how many instruments are equipped with a WCMI-8 module.
New Generation of Oscilloscope Software
02 June 2023 - Pico Technology launched its next-generation oscilloscope software: PicoScope 7. Based on PicoScope 6 software, PicoScope 7 has been rewritten to take advantage of the latest PC and display technologies. PicoScope 7 boasts a range of enhanced features and functionality making it the ideal choice for engineers and technicians looking for precise, reliable, and easy-to-use tools for their test and measurement needs. PicoScope 7 is available for Windows, Linux, and Mac operating systems.
Opto-isolated Probes for Signals from ±1V to ±2500V
22 May 2023 - Saelig Company introduced the Micsig SigoFIT Series Opto-isolated Probes which have excellent amplitude/frequency characteristics and deliver an excellent common mode rejection ratio (CMRR up to 112dB at 100MHz, over 100dB at 500MHz.) The full-range noise floor is 1.1mVrms max, and the 24-hour zero drift is less than 50uV. These SigOFIT probes feature Micsig's exclusive SigOFIT optical isolation technology, remotely powered by laser light or battery, offering extremely high isolation voltage to help engineers to see true, uncorrupted signals within their specified bandwidths.
New 30GHz Sequential Sampling Oscilloscope
10 May 2023 - Pico Technology announced major updates and additions to their PicoScope PC-based 9000 Series oscilloscopes. New to the product spectrum are a 30 GHz bandwidth model of the 9300 sampling oscilloscope series and updated 5 GHz, 16 GHz, and 20 GHz models of the 9400 series.
New 4-Channel Digital Storage Oscilloscope
24 March 2023 - Acute launched a new 4-Channel Digital Storage Oscilloscope (DSO). The new TravelScope 3000 (TS3000) offers a bandwidth of 200 MHz and a sample rate of 1 GS/s. The instrument supports also a DSO stack mode, in which up to 4 devices (16 channels) can be stacked together in the same time. More than 20 types of waveform measurements with customized threshold settings features, provide real-time update for vertical, time and channel to channel timing measurements with statistic features.

Oscilloscope Probes – Vital Link in the Measurement Chain
Signal measurement results can only be as accurate as the test and measurement tools in use. As clock rates and edge speeds of today’s electronic circuits increase, probing becomes a critical piece of the measurement system – the component that comes in direct contact with your circuit. This article looks at voltage probing considerations for embedded system and digital design debugging applications.

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.
