Multifunction 4 Channel Digital Phosphor Oscilloscope
30 August 2019 - Hantek launched the DPO6000 series 4 channel digital phosphor oscilloscope. DPO6000 series has 6 functions: 4 channel oscilloscope, 16 channel logic analyzer, 2 channel waveform generator, digital voltmeter, serial protocol analyzer and FFT spectral analysis. It offers a bandwidth of up to 200MHz, a memory depth of 64 Mpts and supports segmented storage (up to 80,000).
DALI Protocol Decoding and Analysis
28 August 2019 - Pico Technology has added DALI decoding and analysis with the latest version of PicoScope 6 software. DALI (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface) provides two-way communications between lighting fixtures (“luminaires”), ballasts and controllers. A DALI controller can talk to individual LED drivers and ballasts, and those devices can in turn talk back to the controller to report light failures, energy consumption, ambient light conditions and so on.
Automotive Ethernet Debug Toolkit
26 August 2019 - Teledyne LeCroy launched a new dedicated Automotive Ethernet Debug Toolkit, and an Automotive Ethernet Breakout Test Fixture which cover all aspects of physical layer Automotive Ethernet testing with compliance testing for 100Base-T1 and 1000Base-T1.
16 GHz Sampler-extended Real-time Oscilloscope
21 August 2019 - Pico Technology introduced the PicoScope 9404-16 SXRTO, a 16 GHz sampler-extended real-time oscilloscope. The new model joins the 5 GHz 9404-05 model launched earlier this year. Ideally suited to repetitive or clock-derived signals, both models feature four high-resolution 12-bit channels, each supported by real-time sampling to 500 MS/s per channel and up to 5 TS/s (0.2 ps) equivalent-time sampling.
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.

A Comparison between Oscilloscopes and Spectrum Analyzers
Whether it is for a land survey searching for minerals on Earth, or for a space exploration in search of alien life forms, the analysis of any signal boils down to looking at its time and frequency information. While an oscilloscope displays a signal with respect to time, a spectrum analyzer shows it with respect to frequency. Both of these tools are very important in any signal analysis application. This article explains the difference between oscilloscope and spectrum analyzer using examples.
