Bandwidth is the most important aspect of an oscilloscope. To support design engineers in current and future design challenges, Rohde & Schwarz is introducing an attractive promotion for selected oscilloscope models: when purchasing an R&S RTO2000 or R&S RTP, now customers can upgrade the bandwidth with no extra costs. Rohde & Schwarz, leading manufacturer of […]
Oscilloscopes
Scopes provide 10 GHz bandwidth for up to eight channels
The new 6 Series B Mixed Signal Oscilloscope (MSO) extends the performance threshold of the Tektronix Mainstream Oscilloscopes Portfolio to 10 GHz and 50 GS/sec. Developed to meet the demand for high-speed data movement and processing in embedded designs, the enhanced 6 Series B MSO offers leading signal fidelity with12-bit ADCs and extremely low noise, […]
Four/eight-channels mixed signal scopes come in 350/500-MHz models
New DLM5000 oscilloscopes are successors to the eight-channel DLM4000 series mixed signal oscilloscopes and feature a number of improved functions and enhanced operability. In addition, a DLMsync option is planned to be released by next spring that will enable measurements to be taken simultaneously by two connected DLM5000 oscilloscopes. The DLM5000 series is targeted at […]
Optical transceiver test platform reduces test time, accurately measures PAM4 optical signals
The new 8 Series sampling platform is a disaggregated modular instrument series boasting parallel acquisition, with up to four channels per mainframe and the highest measurement accuracy for PAM4 optical signals on multiple inputs simultaneously. The 8 Series consists of the TSO820 Sampling Oscilloscope Mainframe, optical sampling modules, and TSOVu, a new software platform that […]
Working with oscilloscope probes, part two
The oscilloscope can be viewed as essentially a voltmeter that incorporates a dynamic display. But the oscilloscope can also make use of a current probe to convert current information into corresponding voltage potentials displayed in units of Amperes. The current-to-voltage conversion takes place within the current probe which operates like the electrician’s clamp-on ammeter. The […]
Basics of oscilloscope probes – Part one
Engineers know what an oscilloscope probe is. It basically permits the user to measure the voltage at any terminal or wire and display the waveform. It usually incorporates a needle point that is capable of getting into a tight place without shorting out to another pin, wire or grounded surface. And it can be equipped […]
Newark to carry TBS1000C digital storage scope from Tektronix
Electronic parts distributor Newark has added the new Tektronix TBS1000C Digital Storage Oscilloscope to its test and measurement portfolio. Designed to meet the needs of today’s educational institutions, embedded design engineers and makers, this new oscilloscope offers an upgrade in performance over the popular TBS1000B. The TBS1000C delivers the performance required from a leading entry-level […]
New 1 GS/sec scope designed to go easy on the pocketbook
The new TBS1000C Digital Storage Oscilloscope is said to be a cost-sensitive addition to the TBS1000 series. The TBS1000C series boasts a 7-in WVGA color display with up to 1 GS/sec sample rate and bandwidths from 50 MHz to 200 MHz. This series also includes Tektronix’s HelpEverywhere system, which provides useful tips and hints throughout […]
Getting familiar with work-at-home instrumentation
The rise in social distancing has fostered a need for professional-grade test instruments that function as well at home as in the lab. David Horn | Digilent The events that have unfolded across the world since the beginning of 2020 have turned the global marketplace upside down. Few industries have felt this seismic shift as […]
Work-at-home tools: PC-based instruments address demanding applications
Advanced technology now lets budget-priced instrumentation handle tasks once requiring specialized and pricey test gear. Trevor Smith | Pico Technology Test & Measurement With a significant segment of engineers and researchers working at home or away from their lab during the pandemic, there is a large incentive to troubleshoot designs and validate performance using systems […]
