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 […]

Saelig to carry Rigol MSO8000 2-GHz 4-channel digital scopes
The new Rigol Technologies MSO8000 Series of digital oscilloscopes combine best-in-class sampling (10 GSa/sec) and memory depth (500 Mpts) with a modern, flexible user interface enabled by Rigol’s new UltraVision II architecture and innovative Phoenix chipset. Three models are available with input bandwidths from 600 MHz to 2GHz, each with 4 analog channels. The series […]
Gallery: Interesting instruments on display at PCIM Europe
PCIM Europe is often proclaimed to be the world’s leading exhibition and conference for power electronics, intelligent motion, renewable energy, and energy management. Recently finishing up in Nuremberg, the exhibition floor of PCIM featured over 500 booths. Here are some of the more notable test & measurement we saw in touring the event. NEXT PAGE: […]
Economical MSO delivers 350 MHz bandwidth, 8 GSa/sec sample rate, 500,000 wfms/sec waveform capture rate
The New MSO5000 Series Digital Oscilloscope is part of RIGOL’s UltraVision II architecture with its Phoenix chip-set. Two custom ASICs provide analog front end and signal processing performance. These chips are surrounded by a high-performance hardware design including a Xilinx Zync-7000 SoC, dual-core ARM-9 processors, a Linux +Qt operating system, high-speed DDR system memory, and […]
Midrange mixed-signal scope first with 8-GHz bandwidth, 25 Gs/sec on four channels simultaneously
The 6 Series MSO mixed signal oscilloscope extends the performance threshold of midrange oscilloscopes to 8 GHz and delivers a 25 GS/sec sample rate simultaneously on all four channels – an industry first for this class of oscilloscope. Designers can accurately now view up to four high-speed signals at one time. For example, a DDR3 […]
New high-def scopes sport 12-bit resolution, 5 Gpts of memory
The WavePro HD high-definition oscilloscopes combine HD4096 12-bit technology and 8 GHz bandwidth for low noise and pristine signal fidelity. With a maximum of 5 Gpoints of fast, responsive, and easily navigable acquisition memory, WavePro HD oscilloscopes also acquire extremely fine waveform details over long periods of time. A deep, powerful toolset quickly exposes underlying […]
Oscilloscopes get in step with the times
A behind-the-scenes look at the making of the new Tektronix 5 Series mixed signal oscilloscope reveals its next-generation design. Dave Pereles Tektronix As embedded systems used in everything from automobiles and airplanes to household appliances to IoT devices have gotten more complex, so too have the demands placed on test and measurement equipment. Oscilloscopes are […]
Mid-range oscilloscope sports capacitive touch screen, up to eight analog, 64 digital channels
The new 5 Series MSO mixed-signal oscilloscope is said to be the first to allow 4, 6 or 8 analog channels and up to 64 digital channels, integrated protocol analysis and signal generator, a new 12-bit signal acquisition system, a massive high-definition capacitive touch display, and a highly intuitive Direct Access user interface. Developed by […]
Minimizing noise in oscilloscope measurements
As with many medium to high-end scopes, the Tektronix MDO 3000 Series Oscilloscope has an internal built-in arbitrary function generator. It is capable of producing 13 different waveforms – sine wave, square wave, pulse, ramp, dc, noise, sin(x/x), Gaussian, Lorentz, exponential rise, exponential decay, Haversine and cardiac. Any of these waveforms can be displayed on […]
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 […]
