RF menus in the Tektronix MDO3000 oscilloscope
Many oscilloscope users become adept at acquiring signals in the time domain and using Math>FFT in mixed domain oscilloscopes to display signals simultaneously in time and frequency domains. This is excellent for demonstrating the fundamental relationship between these different display modes, and the whole thing is user-friendly and intuitive. In a Tektronix MDO3000 oscilloscope, at […]
User review: the new Tektronix AFG31000 Series arbitrary function generators
In the consumer electronics boom following World War Two, a rapidly-growing number of homes contained analog CRT-based TVs, and repair shops soon appeared on every street. Technicians found these complex devices could best be serviced by injecting a synthesized signal at various points and accessing it downstream by means of an oscilloscope, thus isolating the […]
Oscilloscope technology – What lies ahead?
Oscilloscope technology advanced rapidly from its early 19th Century roots through the triggered sweep and digital/flat-screen transformation in the 1980s. The trend has accelerated. Bandwidth and sampling rates have expanded exponentially. Additionally, new features and measuring and display capabilities have emerged. In this context, one wonders what lies ahead. The major oscilloscope manufacturers maintain robust […]
Dual-channel DMM puts two 7.5-digit sampling multimeters into 1U rack
The Keithley DMM7512 dual channel 7½-digit sampling multimeter packs two independent and identical digital multimeters into a low profile 1U high, full rack width space-saving enclosure. The DMM7512 targets a range of demanding high-volume manufacturing test applications that require measurement capacity, performance and a compact footprint. Currently, all other 7 ½-digit, high accuracy DMMs provide […]
Newark Element14 to carry Tektronix AFG31000 arbitrary function generator
Newark element14 is now stocking the Tektronix AFG31000 Arbitrary Function Generator. The new AFG31000 series incorporates four industry firsts that result in an unprecedented user experience for researchers and engineers: A nine-inch capacitive touch display and a shallow menu tree make locating and changing settings quicker, while also making browsing easier. The ability to monitor […]

The competition was scored by a panel of independent technical/engineering judges. This year’s inaugural LEAP Awards competition honored ground-breaking new products that set a new standard for innovation. Judges rated candidates […]
Powerful user interface at center of new redesigned Tektronix arbitrary/function generator
Tektronix, Inc. has redefined the arbitrary/function generator (AFG) with the introduction of the AFG31000 series. A completely new design, the AFG31000 features many key firsts including the industry’s largest touchscreen and new user interface that will delight engineers and researchers who need to generate increasingly complex test cases for debugging, troubleshooting, characterizing and validating devices […]
Understanding oscilloscope bandwidth enhancement techniques
Data communication rates have soared in recent years and there is every reason to believe that this trend will accelerate. Information speeds that were less than 1 Gb/sec have surpassed 10 Gb/sec. Optical communication is greater than 100 Gb/sec, with 1 Tb/sec down the road. RF wireless communications is in the mid-gigahertz range, and RF […]
Mask and limit testing on oscilloscopes
Mask testing is used in production facilities for screening and quality control of components and electronic equipment and also for debugging and troubleshooting. It is quick and efficient and lets users identify harmful anomalous behavior that arises in one or a billion waveforms. It involves setting limits of acceptability on signals at the outputs of […]
