Working with bus analyzers
Protocol or bus analyzers (sometimes dubbed packet sniffers) are tools that intercept network traffic, store it, and then decode it for presentation in a human-readable state. Bus analyzers all have the same basic operating principle. They copy all network traffic out to a buffer or file. A lot of oscilloscopes include bus analyzer features. The […]
The basics of bus analyzers
Like a logic analyzer, a bus analyzer is capable of monitoring and capturing bus communication data. Both instruments decode, analyze and display that information. There are, however, significant differences. While a logic analyzer can display data from any of a large number of buses, an individual bus analyzer is built to work with only a […]
VIDEO: CAN Bus demonstrated in Tektronix MDO3104 Oscilloscope
The Tektronix Demo One board is used to access CAN Bus H and L differential signals. Hi again and welcome to our 87th Test and Measurement video. Today we’ll see how a Tektronix MDO3000 Series oscilloscope can display a CAN Bus serial signal. The source for the signal is a Tektronix Demo One board, which […]

Power analyzer performs compliance testing to international standards
A line of power analyzers from Vitrek is now equipped with the built-in capability to conduct compliance testing to a number of key environmental performance standards. The PA900 Precision Multi-channel Harmonic Power Analyzer can be set up to analyze the power output or consumption of the device under test and automatically display the results. This is […]
Measuring clock and oscillator frequency
A clock may refer to an oscillator that has been designed to provide a timing signal to facilitate operation of one or more synchronous processors. In contrast, asynchronous operation does not require a clock because each step initiates upon completion of a prior step. It is potentially faster than synchronous operation because there is not […]
Multi-device synchronization for lock-in amplifiers and arbitrary wave generators
A new Multi-device Synchronization function (MDS) allows multiple instruments to be connected together and controlled on one user-friendly interface. The MDS takes care of the synchronization of both the 10 MHz clock and the sampling rates of each connected instrument. Instead of using one multi-channel instrument, single instruments can be added as required and subsequently […]
