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 ...

Longest scope probe: 7 metres and 1.5GHz bandwidth
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 ...
Scope zone trigger enabled for 600,000 trigger/s and 1.45μs blind time
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 ...
LeCroy adds 12bit scopes from 6 to 16GHz
Teledyne LeCroy has added lower bandwidth options to its 8000HD range of 12bit oscilloscopes, which now includes models at 6 (8060HD), 8 (8080HD), 13 (8130HD), and 16GHz (8160HD). This bandwidth is available through the physically-smaller 50Ω input connectors, while the BNC connectors offer 2GHz (-3dB) in 50Ω mode and 500MHz in 1MΩ mode. They do not get the 1.8mm coaxial ...
Display-less 2GHz scope fits in 2U rack
Rohde & Schwarz has introduced a rack-mount 2GHz display-less oscilloscope with eight channels that fits into a 2U (89mm) slot. It has eight 2.5Gsample/s channels that can be interleaved to provide four 5Gsample/s channels, and is part of the new MXO 5C series of scopes which have been cut down from the recently-introduced display-inclusive MXO 5 series. As well as ...
PC scope hits 3GHz and 10Gsample/s
Pico Technology has introduced a 3GHz bandwidth display-less oscilloscope with 10Gsample/s maximum performance. Called PicoScope 6428E-D, it has four 50Ω input channels and four input ranges per channel (±50, ±100, ±200 and ±500mV). Maximum vertical resolution is 12bits. “The new oscilloscope extends the capabilities of the existing PicoScope 6000E Series, making it an ideal tool for scientists and researchers working ...
4GHz 12bit 20Gsample/s scope from Siglent
Siglent has a new flagship in its oscilloscope range, with 4GHz bandwidth, 12bit resolution and 20Gsample/s. SDS7404A, as it will be known, has four analogue channels and 16 digital channels, and a noise floor is as low as 220μVrms at 4GHz bandwidth. At 20Gsample/s, ENOB (effective number of bits) is typically 7.3bit (50Ω, 50mV/div, -1dBFS/47.999MHz input). 20Gsample/s is only available ...
Four channel 12bit oscilloscopes work up to 250MHz
Rigol Technologies has added 12bit oscilloscopes to its line-up, with a compact design which is flexible to use for both on-site and desktop testing”, according to the company. DHO900 oscilloscopes (right) have four analogue channels 16 digital channels and are available in 125 or 250MHz bandwidths, with or without an arbitrary waveform generator and Bode plot capability. Shared between the ...
Wirelessly synchronise multiple TiePie scopes in the Americas
For the US market, TiePie has created a 915MHz version of the module that allows multiple instances if its PC oscilloscopes to be used together at up to 400m range – a 868MHz version for Europe was introduced in July. Wireless Multi Instrument Synchronization Module WCMI-9 also allows instruments to be used where galvanic isolation is required. The scopes can ...
12bit 500MHz eight-channel scopes from Yokogawa for power electronics
Yokogawa has announced a high-resolution extension to its DLM5000 series of scopes, with 12bit eight channel instruments at 500MHz and 350MHz bandwidth. Max sample rate is 2.5Gsample/s. “The DLM5000HD series expands Yokogawa’s oscilloscope lineup with models that deliver higher resolution for more accurate waveform analysis, and come with features that improve usability and enable easier setup,” according to the company. ...
