Physical Layer Testing for APIX2 In-Car Video Applications
03 September 2015 – Keysight Technologies announced a new compliance application for characterizing and testing of APIX2 (Automotive Pixel Link) high-speed SerDes (serialiser/deserialiser) technology using the Keysight Infiniium Series oscilloscopes. Developed by Inova Semiconductors, APIX2 is a multi-channel technology for high-resolution in-car video applications. APIX2 can establish multiple display links with a bandwidth of up to 3Gbps, over two pairs of copper cables or a single QSTP cable, and supports HD video at 24 bit color depth.
SIGLENT releases new X-Series Oscilloscopes
31 August 2015 – SIGLENT Technologies launched the X-Series products including the SDS1000X Series Super Phosphor Oscilloscopes, the SDG2000X Series Function/Arbitrary Waveform Generators and High-Precision SPD3303X Programmable Linear DC Power Supply. All X-Series products support LAN interfacing for use in remote-controlled measurement systems. X-Series products adopt SIGLENT’s newly developed architecture platform which makes for a more versatile and powerful operating experience. The SDS1000X Series Super Phosphor Oscilloscopes is based on Siglent's new SPO technology.
USB Pen Storage Oscilloscope
10 August 2015 - Qingdao Hantek launched the new USB pen storage oscilloscope series PSO2020. The pen storage oscilloscope has a maximum safe voltage of 500V and it can measure voltages in the range of ±50V and features a 20MHz bandwidth. It includes a DVM with 3 bit resolution and a frequency counter function with 5 bit resolution. The measurement of DVM and frequency counter is irrelevant to the trigger system.
UniPro Protocol Decoding enhances MIPI Test
05 August 2015 – Teledyne LeCroy announced the addition of UNIPRObus D, a MIPI UniPro Protocol Decode solution, to its oscilloscope-based MIPI capabilities. UNIPRObus D provides customers with easy-to-use debug of their UniPro signals. Similar to existing MIPI MPHY decoding capability, UniPro Decode supports HS GEAR1, GEAR2 and GEAR3, and PWM Mode (G0-G7) signaling for comprehensive data rate coverage.
CAN and CAN FD Test Solutions with Analysis on the Symbolic Layer
03 August 2015 – Teledyne LeCroy announced the addition of Symbolic (Application) layer analysis capabilities to their CAN and CAN FD serial trigger, decode, measurement, and graphing solutions. Teledyne LeCroy is the only provider of CAN FD measurement and graphing capabilities, and was the first to provide a trigger and decode solution for CAN FD. The new CAN and CAN FD Symbolic analysis packages allow a user-defined .dbc file to be used for Symbolic triggering, decoding, measurements, and graphing of a CAN or CAN FD bus.
Universal Trigger and Decoder Function for Manchester- and NRZ-coded Buses
31 July 2015 - Rohde & Schwarz has expanded its range of trigger and decoder options for the R&S RTO and . With the R&S RTx-K50, the oscilloscopes help users debug serial protocols that employ Manchester or NRZ coding. The option can be used with a variety of standardized buses such as PROFIBUS, DALI or MVB as well as with proprietary serial protocols such as are typically found in industrial environments and in the aerospace & defense sector.
New CAN FD and FlexRay Trigger and Decode Options
28 July 2015 – Teledyne LeCroy introduced two new trigger and decode options for the WaveSurfer 3000 oscilloscope: CAN FD and FlexRay. The addition of CAN FD and FlexRay trigger and decode capabilities to the WaveSurfer 3000 protocol analyzer capabilities provides all the tools needed to analyze and debug automotive systems using the CAN FD and/or FlexRay serial data communication standards.
