The Series 7 DPO oscilloscope from Tektronix is the company’s first new high-end model in years. It uses an optical port to transfer data faster than anything we’ve seen. Oscilloscope announcements come often, but most are for low-end. And midrange models. The Series 7 from Tektronix datasheet clearly fits into the high end, though it’s […]

Get the most from your oscilloscope: part 2
Modern scopes add a variety of new measurement and math features to the vertical, horizontal, and trigger controls used over a span of decades. In part 1 of this series, we looked at the features, such as the vertical, horizontal, and trigger controls that have appeared on oscilloscopes since the mid-20th century and that remain […]
Tryout: Uni-T UPO1202 200 MHz oscilloscope
You need not spend a ton of money to get a feature-packed oscilloscope, provided you don’t need high bandwidth. While the oscilloscope works well, the free software needs help. After seeing the Uni-Trend (Uni-T) UTG962E Function/Arbitrary Waveform Generator ($182), we at EE World bought one and, at the same time, ordered a UPO1202 200 MHz […]
Flea market vintage test equipment, September 2024
The monthly “Flea at MIT” featured an abundance of test equipment. We even bought some.
H-P, Agilent, Keysight: New name, same reputation
Those of us who have been around electronic instrumentation for a while can remember the days when Hewlett-Packard instruments were considered the cream of the crop. Where I worked, we always tried to get to the lab early on the days we had tests to run so we could get our hands on the highly […]

Digitizing Oscilloscopes
One of the important signal integrity measurement solutions is the digitizing oscilloscope. Digitizing oscilloscopes have different forms — the sampling oscilloscope, the digital phosphor oscilloscope (DPO) and the digital storage oscilloscope (DSO). Ideally suited for low-repetition signals with narrow pulse widths or fast edges, the DSO can easily capture transients and one-time events, and is […]
