Analyzing Frequency Response with Oscilloscopes
21 January 2019 - Rohde & Schwarz has extended the application range of its R&S RTB2000, R&S RTM3000, and R&S RTA4000 oscilloscopes with a new option for frequency response analysis. Equipped with the R&S RTx-K36, the oscilloscopes can display Bode plots for both phase and gain against frequency simultaneously. With the new software option, users can analyze the response to frequency changes from 10 Hz up to 25 MHz without any additional piece of equipment and at a fraction of the price of dedicated solutions.
Professional Functionality in Entry-Level Oscilloscope
09 January 2019 - Keysight Technologies announced the 200 MHz, 4-channel models of the InfiniiVision 1000 X-Series oscilloscopes, providing professional-level measurements and capabilities at an affordable price, including 4-wire Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) decode and remote connection via local area networks (LANs).
Siglent launches new 200/350MHz Oscilloscopes
10 December 2018 - The new Siglent SDS2000X-E 200/350MHz Oscilloscopes offer a sampling rate of 2GSa/s with standard record length of 28Mpts/channel, an impressive waveform capture rate of up to 400,000 frames/sec and it supports multiple powerful triggering modes. The new economical Super Phosphor Oscilloscopes are available in 200MHz and 350MHz bandwidths.
Free CAN-FD Trigger and Decode Upgrade
28 November 2018 - Acute Technology Inc. offers a free CAN-FD trigger and decode upgrade for its TravelScope series DSO. The PC based Acute TS2212H and TS2212B oscilloscopes feature 2 channels with 200 MHz bandwidth and a sampling rate of 1 GS/s and include built-in frequency generator, DVM and digital frequency counter.
2000 A AC flex Current Probe
23 November 2018 - Pico Technology introduced the TA368 Pico D9 flex current probe. The TA368 is a flexible AC current probe utilizing the Rogowski principle and featuring a built-in integrator. Equipped with the Pico D9 probe interface, it is designed exclusively for use with the PicoScope 4444 Differential Oscilloscope, which powers the probe and automatically sets the PicoScope software to the correct range and units.
Isolated High Voltage 4-Ch 200MHz Oscilloscope
19 November 2018 - The Cleverscope CS448 is a isolated four-channel 200MHz 14-bit oscilloscope designed to measure high voltage, fast slew-rate signals such as those in a full or three-phase power electronic switching bridge. With new 300MHz 200x probes it can now handle 1600V signals to cope with the latest SiC MOSFETs.
RIGOL announced new digital Oscilloscopes
16 November 2018 - RIGOL Technologies enhanced its UltraVision II family of oscilloscopes with the new MSO5000 Series Digital Oscilloscope. Available with bandwidths from 70MHz to 350MHz, 8GSa/sec sample rate, 500,000 wfms/sec waveform capture rate, and up to 200M Record Length, the MSO5000 Series delivers system performance, signal resolution and memory depth unmatched in its class.

Digitizer and Oscilloscope - Equal Alternatives?
Can a digitizer be used as an oscilloscope? What is the difference between an oscilloscope and a digitizer? Should I better use a digitizer or an oscilloscope in my next application? These are interesting questions and the best way to start to answer these is the look up the dictionary definition of an oscilloscope: "An electronic instrument used to measure changing electric voltages. It displays the waveforms of electric oscillations on a screen."
