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 […]
Five key considerations for spectrum analyzers
A bevy of specifications define how spectrum analyzers perform. But just a handful of qualities can be pivotal when it comes to selecting instrumentation. Contributed by Signal Hound As wireless technologies pervade our lives, more engineers find they must make RF measurements. In the past, RF testing required the use of expensive equipment handled only […]
Sorting out PC-based instrumentation
It used to be the case that only a few kinds of relatively simple instruments were based on PCs. Now several categories of lab-grade instrumentation take the PC approach. Trevor Smith, Pico Technology The diversity of measurements that must be made by electronics engineers constitutes a huge challenge. The debugging and validation of components and […]
USB scope features low noise, four channels, 1 GSa/sec signal acquisition
The Handyscope HS6 is a USB 3.0 oscilloscope is available in models with 200 MSa/sec up to 1 GSa/sec sampling rate. The Handyscope HS6 has a flexible resolution that can be set from 8 bit to 16 bit, allowing high-resolution measurements. With its high accuracy (0.25 %) and low noise (240 μVRMS), measured signals are […]
Active-probe PC-based scopes feature up to 5 GSa/sec real-time sampling, 4-GSa-deep memory
New 750-MHz and 1-GHz models have been added to the four-channel PicoScope 6000E Series, which provide 8 to 12 bits of vertical resolution, and up to 5GSa/sec sampling rate with a 4-GSa memory, allowing these scopes to display single-shot pulses with up to 200 psec time resolution. The four new four-channel models added to the […]
PC-based mixed-signal scopes sport 1-GHz bandwidth, active probes
The PicoScope 6000E Series mixed-signal oscilloscopes (MSOs) new include four new four-channel models, each of which can be configured with 16 optional digital channels. With bandwidths of 750 MHz or 1 GHz, 8-bit or 8/10/12-bit Flexible Resolution and up to 4-GS-deep capture memory, these products enhance the existing PicoScope 6000E portfolio, adding to the 350 […]
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 […]
