PC scope hits 3GHz and 10Gsample/s

PicoTech-6428E-D-scope

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 ...

Wireless modules synchronise multiple TiePie scopes

TiePie WCMI module fitted

Dutch test gear maker TiePie Engineering has introduced a module that can wirelessly time-synchronise and remotely access multiple instances of its PC oscilloscopes. ‘Wireless multi instrument synchronization module’ WCMI-8 can synchronise series 5 and 6 of both the company’s WiFiScope and Handyscope instruments, at up to 400m range “combining them to a single instrument”, it said. The 868MHz module is ...

Scope, logic analyser, waveform generators and more from PC instrument

Digilent Analog Discovery 3

Powered and operated through a USB Type-C cable, Analog Discovery 3 is a 9MHz (or 30MHz) 125Msample/s 14bit oscilloscope, a logic analyser, an arbitrary waveform generator and more from Digilent. “Analog Discovery 2, AD3’s predecessor, has been used as a learning tool in hundreds of universities, and as a flexible benchtop tool by thousands of professional engineering companies and organisations ...

Precision power tester covers 3A to 500pA across ±15V

Joulescope JS220

Jetperch has releases a second generation of its Joulescope precision power consumption measurement instrument. Called JS220, it has a huge dynamic range: ±3A max (10A peak) with 500pA resolution over six 16bit auto-ranges – equivalent to 34bit – which allows the measurement of both active and sleep power. It has a bandwidth of 300kHz backed by a 2Msample/s conversion – simultaneously ...

Wi-Fi battery differential scopes for automotove

TiePie-automotive-scopes

TiePie engineering has introduced three PC oscilloscopes with for automotive testing, equipped with Wi-Fi, LAN and batteries. These “WiFiScopes mark a new development of TiePie engineering, the first and industry’s only Wi-Fi-connected automotive test scopes with differential inputs”, according to the company, which last week introduced four general-purpose differential input Wi-Fi scopes. “The differential automotive scopes are every day oscilloscopes ...

8 channel PC scope has dual 5Gsample/s ADCs

PicoScope-6824E

Pico Technology has introduced an eight-channel PC oscilloscope with dual 5Gsample/s ADCs and 4Gsample of capture memory as standard – as well as a hands-free probe holder, more of which further down. Called PicoScope 6824E, it has 500MHz bandwidth analogue inputs and 16 digital channels that record pulses down to 1ns – so ~500MHz signals. The ADCs have 8, 10 ...

TiePie PC scopes go Wi-Fi

TiePie_WiFiScope_WS6

Netherlands PC oscilloscope maker TiePie has introduced a range oscilloscopes can be used via Wi-Fi, Ethernet LAN, USB 2.0 or USB3.0. Data acquisition is between 5Msample/s and 200Msample/s is available depending on the link type. Called the WiFiScope series oscilloscopes (WS5 and WS6 and variants, see below), they have a built-in battery and, as they are wireless, can operate completely galvanically-isolated from ...

Pico Tech adds DALI decode to scope software

PicoTech-DALI-forward-frame.

Pico Technology has added DALI decoding and analysis to its PicoScope software, with an update to version 6. “Networked DALI devices are at the heart of modern buildings management. Engineers and systems integrators developing modules and deploying DALI networks need tools to identify timing and signal integrity problems when they occur,” said Pico business development manager Trevor Smith, claiming: “PicoScope ...

Small vector network analyser works up to 62MHz

Red-Pitaya-vna-bridge-module

Red Pitaya has launched a vector network analyser (VNA) extension for its credit-card-sized plug-in STEMlab data acquisition hardware, which works with a host PC running Windows or Linux. It covers 500kHz to 62MHz, has a typical directivity of 42dB, a dynamic range of 74dB and a noise floor at 88dBm. Features of its companion software include: Smith chart, impedance, SWR, ...

USB scope reaches 25GHz

Pico Technology 25GHz

Pico Technology has increased the bandwidth of its PicoScope 9300 family of sampling oscilloscopes with two 25GHz models. “The USB-controlled sampling oscilloscope stands as one of very few low-cost, high-integrity options for viewing and measuring RF and microwave signals, paths and networks,” claimed the firm. “Sampling Oscilloscopes are the cost-effective solution to today’s proliferation of Gbit/s datastreams and their copper, ...
