If you’re looking for a portable oscilloscope for field troubleshooting or for demonstrations, look at the Micsig TO series. Here’s my take on the four-channel 300 MHz variant, TO3004. The Micsig TO3004 oscilloscope (Figure 1) is an 8-bit, four-channel, tablet-sized portable oscilloscope that’s also available with 100 MHz and 200 MHz varieties with two or […]
Digital Storage Oscilloscope
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 […]
14-bit oscilloscope delivers low noise, fast updates
Keysight’s InfiniiVision HD3 series oscilloscopes let you see signals with 4x the resolution of 12-bit instruments.
Screenless oscilloscope fits 2U rack space
The MXO 5C screenless oscilloscope from Rohde & Schwarz comes in four or eight channels with 2 GHz bandwidth.
R&S enters eight-channel oscilloscope game
The Rohde & Schwarz MXO 5 series of eight-channel and four-channel oscilloscopes feature fast capture and low-level triggering so you can see signal details.
What hardware accessories can you attach to a USB oscilloscope?
A wide range of hardware accessories are available for USB oscilloscopes. This FAQ reviews a few of the more popular options including a variety of probes plus wireless synchronization of multiple USB oscilloscopes and chassis that can combine and synchronize USB oscilloscopes with other instruments like arbitrary waveform generators and multimeters. Probes and more probes […]
12-bit oscilloscope reaches 65 GHz, tests high-speed links
The WaveMaster 8000HD series from Teledyne LeCroy goes where no 12-bit oscilloscope has gone before. Serial digital data streams never stop reaching for higher data rates. Buses such as PCIe Gen 6 (64 Gtransfers/sec) and USB4 V2 (80 Gb/sec) have gone to PAM4 and PAM3 modulation, respectively, to reach their current data rates. Two-level modulation […]
High-def 12-bit scopes target high-speed signal integrity needs
The HDO Series of High Definition Oscilloscopes features true 12-bit resolution and are available in 70 MHz – 800 MHz bandwidths and two or four channels. The HDO Series is powered by the new UltraVision III platform featuring a custom ASIC chipset, which also provides for dramatically lower front-end noise. The higher resolution and lower […]
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 […]
New budget-minded 200-MHz digital scopes sport 2GS/sec max sample rate
The new TBS2000B Series of Digital Storage Oscilloscopes was developed to meet the performance, usability and affordability needs of both engineers and educators. The TBS2000B scopes extend the performance of the TBS2000 portfolio to 200 MMz with 2GS/sec maximum sample rate. The TBS2000B introduction comes shortly after the release of Tektronix’s Series 3 and 4 […]
