Rohde & Schwarz RTP oscilloscope.

Time oscilloscopes (SXRTO) that combine the benefits of real-time sampling,
equivalent-time sampling, and high analog bandwidth. We also delivered some
important new capabilities for our existing range of PicoScopes, including a decoder/analyzer solution for BroadR-Reach
Automotive Ethernet."
According to Smith, "The 9400 Series
SXRTOs have four input channels up
to 16 GHz with market-leading timing
resolution for accurately measuring and
visualizing high-speed analog and data
signals. Real-time sampling to 500 MS/s
and equivalent time sampling (ETS) to 2.5
TS/s make the products ideal for capturing pulse and step transitions down to
22 ps and clocks and data eyes to 8 Gb/s.
Most high-bandwidth applications involve
repetitive signals or clock-related data
streams that can be readily analyzed by
equivalent-time sampling. The SXRTOs
quickly build ETS persistence displays
with statistics. They have a built-in fullbandwidth trigger on every channel."
"Our UltraVision II architecture built
upon our Phoenix chipset has allowed
us to bring three new series of scopes
to market," commented Michael Rizzo,
general manager, RIGOL USA. "All of the
scopes share a common UI and HW architecture but are differentiated based on
performance capability and analysis tools.
The MSO5000 (70 MHz to 350 MHz), the
7000 Series (100 MHz to 500 MHz), and
the MSO8000 (600 MHz to 2 GHz) provide
a seamless portfolio from basic visualization tasks to advanced serial analysis. The
Phoenix chipset allows us to deliver unmatched sample rate, memory depth, and

instrument capability across the 70-MHz
to 2-GHz market."
Other recently introduced scopes include the Teledyne LeCroy WaveRunner
8000HD High Definition Oscilloscopes
(HDO), which are 8-channel, 12-bit-resolution, 2-GHz instruments. WaveRunner
8000HD leverages the company's HD4096
High Definition technology and a 15.6-in.
touchscreen, high channel counts, and 5
Gpts of acquisition memory for critical
applications such as high-power/3-phase
power conversion, automotive electronics,
power integrity and power sequencing,
and embedded control systems.1

MHz-range value
Jason Chonko, applications marketing manager at SIGLENT Technologies
North America, described the company's
SDS2000X-E Series as a higher bandwidth
budget scope featuring two analog inputs,
2-GS/s sample rate, and up to 350-MHz
bandwidths. "The SDS5000X is our flagship scope with up to four analog inputs,
5-GS/s sample rate, and up to 1-GHz bandwidths," he said.
Chonko cited other features, such as
web control and intuitive user interfaces
plus the inclusion of free frequency-analysis/Bode functionality and a measurement engine that provides statistical
trending and histograms on many measurement types. "Coupled with deep
memory, you can now see far more detail than ever before with a single trigger
event," he said.

James McGregor, global head of test,
tools, and production supplies at Newark,
said the company recently launched a new
private-label collection, Multicomp Pro,
stocking more than 60,000 components,
tools, and instruments. The first of two
of Multicomp Pro's newest oscilloscopes
available at Newark is the MP720013
MSO/MDO 100-MHz oscilloscope, which
has two analog and 16 digital channels
with an external trigger and logic analyzer. It has a maximum real-time sample
rate of 1 GS/s per channel and a record
length of 2 Mpts per channel. "The 100MHz logic analyzer has a sample rate of
20 S/s to 1 GS/s per channel and a record
length of 4 Mpts per channel, enabling users to safely and confidently debug embedded systems," McGregor said.
The second is the MP72024 100-MHz
digital storage oscilloscope, which has
two analog channels with an external
trigger. It has a maximum real-time
sample rate of 1 GS/s per channel, a record length of 20 Mpts per channel, and
a 55,000-waveform/s refresh rate. "This
scope also has a 12-bit high-resolution
ADC, fully restoring the waveform detail
with 16 times the vertical resolution of
traditional 8-bit ADCs, enabling users to
capture the signals of interest while minimizing the effects of unwanted noise,"
McGregor said.
When asked about new products,
Kaitlyn Franz, test product manager at
Digilent, said, "We're sticking with our
Discovery family. To date, we have the
