RIGOL announces new 2 GHz Digital Oscilloscope
09 August 2019 - RIGOL Technologies announces an expansion to its UltraVision II oscilloscope portfolio with the introduction of the New MSO8000 Series Digital Oscilloscope. Delivering Bandwidth up to 2 GHz Bandwidth and a new Jitter and Real-Time Eye Analysis package the MSO8000 Series extends RIGOL's value proposition into serial data analysis and signal integrity applications.
Automotive Ethernet Test Solution for Tektronix Mixed Signal Oscilloscopes
26 July 2019 -- Tektronix released two new software packages that greatly simplify Automotive Ethernet testing, debug and Protocol Decode for use with its 5 and 6 Series mixed signal oscilloscopes (MSO). Using the new Signal Separation software, automotive engineers can now perform Automotive Ethernet testing without disrupting the ECU system or cutting the Ethernet cable to install a directional coupler, while the PAM3 analysis package provides in-depth insight into signal characteristics at the system level.
Call for Beta Testers for Non-Intrusive PAM3 Automotive Ethernet Protocol Decoder
04 July 2019 - The increasing use of ECUs in vehicles, and advanced signal processing, is driving the need for high performance automotive networks. 100BASE-T1 / BroadR-Reach has emerged as the physical layer standard for automotive applications. It uses PAM3 signalling on a differential twisted pair to give good performance and noise immunity for a reasonable cost.
Rogowski Coil Current Probes for up to 6,000 A
03 July 2019 – Teledyne LeCroy announced the latest offering in its Teledyne Test Tools (T3)-branded portfolio of test equipment with the launch of a series of Rogowski Coil Current Probes, which are electrical devices used for measuring alternating current or high-speed current pulses.
New Oscilloscopes with 13 GHz and 16 GHz Bandwidth
02 July 2019 - Tektronix expands its scalable DPO70000SX Series Performance Oscilloscope to include new 13 GHz and 16 GHz models. The new offerings allow engineers to take advantage of the high sample rate and low noise floor of Tektronix’ highest performance family of oscilloscopes at lower bandwidth levels and more affordable price points.
Tektronix launched two new mid-range Oscilloscopes
04 June 2019 -- Tektronix added two new oscilloscopes to its product line up with the launch of the 3 Series MDO and the 4 Series MSO. Engineered for a wide range of applications at an affordable price, Tektronix’ new mind-range oscilloscopes have been reimagined with the award-winning user experience and industrial design first introduced in the 5 and 6 Series MSOs. Built from the engineer up, the 3 Series MDO and the 4 Series MSO round out Tektronix’ portfolio of oscilloscopes.
Current Probes for measuring up to 30 A
26 April 2019 - HIOKI launched the Current Probes CT6710 and CT6711. Both products provide three ranges (30 A, 5 A, and 0.5 A) to facilitate observation of waveforms representing currents as large as 30 A or as small as several hundred microamperes. This capability makes the probes ideal for observing current waveforms under a variety of operating conditions, including inrush currents, micro currents, and high-speed currents.

Precision Phase Noise Measurement with an Oscilloscope - Part 1
Often clock jitter induced from the power supply noise, signal routings, or other signals severely degrade the performance of the system. Clock generation and distribution in a FPGA for a high speed analog application is particularly prone to these issues. They manifest themselves in phase noise or clock jitter, which is the random variation of the period of a signal over time. Clearly, optimization of the design requires verification of the integrity of such clocks.
