Applying PC-based test & measurement instruments
For some features, PC-based scopes sport higher performance than similar benchtop instruments. Trevor Smith, Pico Technology The debugging and validation of electronic systems calls for versatile instruments with wide-ranging functions and easy programmability. An engineer working on high-speed logic signals one day might be called upon to run a long-duration soak test the following day […]
Test and measurement in education
Lab classes become much more meaningful when students can operate their own test instruments rather than watch an instructor turn knobs and push buttons. Paul Cracknell, Liquid Instruments Consider the typical EE lab in the average university. Labs must be outfitted with costly equipment to give students exposure to the breadth of measurements that characterize […]
Debugging digital and analog signals with cross-domain analysis
Multi-domain signal analysis is blurring the line between real-time oscilloscopes and real-time spectrum and signal analyzers. Fernando Gomez, Tektronix Inc. Multi-domain signal analysis is enabled by advanced oscilloscope features such as 12-bit ADC, digital down conversion (DDC), and flexible channel inputs where each can be either analog or digital. As Signal Integrity (SI) and Power […]

Embedded real-time scopes sport I3C protocol-based hardware triggers
I3C PurVue Analyzer is a full-fledged, embedded, protocol-triggered real-time oscilloscope for measuring and characterizing sensor and processor interfaces based on the MIPI Alliance I3CSM and I3C Basic Specifications. This ground-breaking product provides exact time correlation between analog and digital, complete protocol-based control on when to capture a real-time oscilloscope waveform, and leverages the Python libraries […]
Review: Working with the Tektronix MDO3104
The model number on the Tektronix MDO3104 oscilloscope denotes that it is a 3000-Series Mixed-Domain Oscilloscope. The mixed domain moniker means it is capable of displaying a waveform simultaneously in the time domain and in the frequency domain. The time domain is more familiar, the way we envision a sine wave when amplitude is plotted […]
Hi-rez 350-MHz DSOs sport 12-bit resolution
The new SIGLENT SDS2000X HD Series High-Resolution Digital Storage Oscilloscopes feature 2GSa/sec 12-bit A/D converters with an extremely low 70 μVrms noise floor front end to provide a signal analysis tool with over 16 times the resolution of ordinary 8-bit oscilloscopes. This is ideal for examining small variations on large signals. The SDS2000X HD series […]
