Economical 2-GHz DSOs sample at 5 GSa/sec
The Siglent SDS6000A Series of four-channel digital storage oscilloscopes include models available in bandwidths of 500 MHz, 1 GHz, and 2 GHz offering a sample rate of 5 GSa/sec (10 GSa/sec ESR) on each channel, a large memory depth of 500 Mpts, and the option to provide synchronous mixed signal analysis ability by adding 16 […]
FPGA-based instruments: Inside the Moku benchtop test gear
The roots of the venerable Moku:Lab, Moku:Go and Moku:Pro test gear from Liquid Instruments can be traced back to a sophisticated interferometer set to orbit the earth. As part of his PhD work, Liquid Instruments CEO Daniel Shaddock documented the design of the control system for the LIGO mirror, which had to be stabilized at […]

The new R&S RTO6 digital oscilloscope offers six different bandwidth models from 600 MHz to 6 GHz and a sample rate of up to 20 Gsample/sec. The fully integrated test solution for the time and frequency domain, as well as protocol and logic analysis, supports design engineers from all industries. The instrument features a high waveform update rate, excellent […]
New scopes sport 12-bit resolution, 15.6-in displays, include waveform generation/spectrum analysis
The HDO6000B Series brings together high sample rate 12-bit ADCs, high signal-to-noise amplifiers and low-noise system architecture. Oscilloscopes with HD4096 technology always provide 12 bits of vertical resolution. “No digitizer is perfect,” says Robert Mart, Teledyne LeCroy’s Director of Product Marketing, “but compared to an 8-bit system, a 12-bit system is 16 times closer to […]
Rack-mount scope targets high throughput, high channel count apps
The DS8000-R rack-mount digital oscilloscope provides up to 2 GHz bandwidth and the same jitter and real-time eye analysis, power analysis, and serial decode as RIGOL’s proven MSO8000 Series oscilloscope. The space-saving DS8000-R oscilloscope is designed for instrument synchronization for small to large system configurations. Featuring a typical trigger jitter between instruments of less than […]
Rack-mount scope integrates spectrum analyzer, AWG, DVM, frequency counter/totalizer, serial protocol analyzer
The Rigol DS8000-R Series four-channel digital oscilloscopes are compact 1U half-rack-width instruments available in 350 MHz/1 GHz/2 GHz versions with a maximum sampling rate of 10 GSa/sec. In addition to their use installed in a test rack cabinet, these instruments can be conveniently used on a workbench. The DS8000-R series has been designed around RIgol’s […]
PC-based scopes include two-channel 5-GHz and 16-GHz models
The PicoScope 9402-05 and 9402-16 two-channel models join the 9404-05 and 9404-16 four-channel models that are candidates for viewing repetitive or clock-derived signals. All models feature high-resolution 12-bit channels, each supported by real-time sampling to 500 MS/sec/channel and up to 2.5 TS/sec (0.4 psec) random equivalent-time sampling. The wideband inputs with fine timing and voltage […]
PCIe Gen5 test setup handles PHY-layer protocol analysis, transmitter/receiver, LEQ tests
A PCI Express 5.0 (PCIe Gen5) test solution combines Anritsu’s Signal Quality Analyzer-R MP1900A BERT series with Tektronix’s DPO70000SX series 70-GHz Real-time Oscilloscope and automation software. The all-in-one solution supports tests of PCIe 5.0 electrical characteristics, physical-layer protocol analysis, and transmitter/receiver and Link Equalization Training (LEQ) tests to facilitate efficient development of high-speed ICs, devices, […]
Combo multi-channel, mixed-signal scope/DAQ captures high-speed transients, long-term trends
