In-line BNC adapter for BitScope Micro Oscilloscopes
14 April 2015 - The new BitScope Micro Port 02 (MP02A) is an in-line mixed signal I/O adapter for BitScope Micro. It can be used to connect standard oscilloscope probes and BNC terminated cables to BitScope Micro. Any oscilloscope probe with 1:1, 10:1 or other attenuation ratio can be used. It supports active differential, current or any other probe which is BNC terminated and designed for an oscilloscope.
Teledyne LeCroy announced PAM4 Signal Analysis Software
13 April 2015 – Teledyne LeCroy launched a PAM4 Signal Analysis software for its real-time oscilloscopes. This new set of analysis tools makes essential eye, jitter and noise measurements on all three eye openings of a PAM4 signal, a requirement for engineers who are designing next-generation electrical and optical links that seek to double data transfer rates by leveraging PAM4 signaling.
Teledyne LeCroy introduces new LabMaster and WaveMaster Oscilloscopes
10 April 2015 – Teledyne LeCroy enhanced its two highest performance oscilloscope product lines. The new LabMaster 10 Zi-A delivers improved performance in effective number of bits and baseline noise along with the industry leading jitter measurement floor. The new WaveMaster 8 Zi-B features increased sample rate, lower noise, enhanced processing capabilities and the latest version of Teledyne LeCroy's advanced oscilloscope user interface, MAUI.
Coupling up to 10 Oscilloscopes with up to 40 Channels
09 April 2015 - Keysight introduced the N8834A MultiScope software to connect up to 10 of Infiniium Series oscilloscopes to achieve 40-channel acquisition. The software provides a tight time correlation between the multiple scopes and is able to achieve inter-scope intrinsic jitter of 150 fs with precision calibration (90000 Q- and Z-Series only). The software allows users to perform multi-lane oscilloscope analysis for applications such as optical networking, MIMO, DDR memory and high-speed serial standards.
Handheld Oscilloscopes - Product Overview
Handheld oscilloscopes are mainly used for field test, troubleshooting, maintenance and installation. Most instruments are ruggedized for use in harsh enviroments and include a recording function to capture long-term signal behavior. There many different instrument types in a wide price range available on the market. The following comparison chart provides a product overview with some main selection criteria. We focus on products with a bandwidth of at least 50 MHz. Some handheld oscilloscopes offer also additional features such as digital voltmeter (DVM), arbitrary waveform generator, logic analyzer, protocol analyzer, FFT or spectrum analyzer.
USB 3.1 End-to-End Test Suite
30 March 2015 – Teledyne LeCroy introduces the QPHY-USB3.1-Tx-Rx package for automated USB 3.1 transmitter (Tx) and receiver (Rx) ing, characterization, and debug, creating a unique and comprehensive USB 3.1 test suite. With the new test package, USB 3.1 testing can be performed on both Gen1 (5 Gb/s) and Gen2 (10 Gb/s) devices under test according to the latest USB 3.1 specifications.
Pulse Amplitude Modulation Analysis with Real-Time Oscilloscopes
26 March 2015 – Keysight Technologies launched a new measurement software for characterization of PAM-4 (pulse amplitude modulation with four amplitude levels) signals using the Keysight V-Series, Z-Series, and S-Series real-time oscilloscope platforms. The Keysight N8827A PAM-4 analysis software (for V- and Z-Series oscilloscopes) and N8827B PAM-4 analysis software (for S-Series oscilloscopes) provides comprehensive analysis of electrical PAM-4 signals.
