Conrad is to supply a series of physically-small 12bit oscilloscopes from Voltcraft, that stretches form 70 to 250MHz, and from two channels to four. Across they measure 260mm. “Their compact lightweight design makes these the perfect choice for field work and classroom alike,” said Conrad. The “built-in HMDI port allows mirroring display content to large screens”. Maximum sample rate is ...

Red Pitaya has upgraded its Stemlab 125-14 four-channel 60Mz software-defined test instrument. “This next-generation series enhances performance and reliability while maintaining backward compatibility,” according to the company. “With improved features such as enhanced RF input performance, USB-C connectivity, and a compact design, the Gen 2 series is designed to facilitate signal acquisition, generation and processing, whether used in educational settings, ...

Yokogawa has created a differential probe with 400MHz 3dB bandwidth and a maximum input voltage of ±2kV. “Applications for, and production of, next-generation power devices utilising silicon-carbide technology necessitates ultra-precise measurement of high-voltage and higher speed signals,” according to the company. PBDH0400 is the name, and 702922 is the part number. Due to its interface connector and power supply, it can ...

Rohde & Schwarz revealed a second-generation if its entry level oscilloscope with two or four channels, and bandwidth options of 70, 100, 200 or 300MHz. Guide price for the 70MHz two channel model is €1,690. RTB 2 is an an evolution of the 2017 RTB2000, keeping the touchscreen and 10bit vertical resolution, and adding an arbitrary waveform generator and 160Mpoint ...

PC oscilloscope maker Pico Technology has upgraded power measurement in its companion analysis software to include crest factor, dc power, area at ac and area at dc – with net, positive, negative and absolute variants. These are included in its latest stable release (7.1.39) of PicoScope in all three versions, for: Windows, Linux or MacOS. Other enhancements include: 10BASE-T1S decode ...

Pico Technology has added 16 digital channels to its 500MHz 3418E display-less USB oscilloscope, creating a model named ‘3418E MSO’. “MSO models offer engineers the ability to simultaneously capture and analyse both analogue and digital signals, perfect for mixed-signal designs such as microcontroller or FPGA-based systems,” according to the company. Minimum detectable pulse width on the digital channels is 5ns, ...

Keysight has introduced a series of 14bit general purpose oscilloscopes with up to 1GHz bandwidth. The HD3 Series is “built from the ground up with a custom asic deep memory architecture”, said the company, while also saying that it is “leveraging custom hardware technology from the UXR Series”. There are two channel and four channel versions, both with 16 digital ...

Tektronix has taken its TAP1500 1.5GHz active single-ended probe, and stretched its 1.3m cable to seven metres “with no loss in performance”, according to the company. TAP1500L is the name of the extended version. “Our customers can’t always have their oscilloscopes close to their device-under-test,” said Tektronix probe manager Andrew Mumford, “and the longer cable benefits customers who use flying ...

Three bench oscilloscopes by Siglent, the SDS800X HD, SDS1000X HD and SDS3000X HD are now available from Telonic Instruments. The high-resolution oscilloscopes address signal fidelity, visualisation, and analysis with 12-bit ADCs, low noise, gain accuracy, and channel isolation, said the company. Bandwidths range from 70MHz to 4GHz, providing signal fidelity for a range of applications including power, EMI, frequency analysis, ...

Rohde & Schwarz is claiming the world’s fastest oscilloscope zone trigger update rate, using a dormant asic feature that can now offer of up to 600,000 waveform/s and has <1.45μs blind time between trigger events. Zone triggering allows users to specify trigger conditions by drawing one or more zone areas on the instrument’s display. Each acquisition is then inspected for ...
