A new generation of 8-channel mixed-signal oscilloscopes enables engineers to address many of the measurement challenges presented by the increasingly complex electrical and electronics signals found in today’s industrial control and power systems.

The definition of a high-performance oscilloscope really is all about the customer's point of view. Two scopes may have the same bandwidth, number of channels, sampling rate, operating modes, and memory length. Yet, one will be bought instead of the other because its software or triggering capability or measurement suite better matches the customer's application requirements.

After a disastrous 2009, the large publicly held test companies enjoyed booming business in 2010.

An increasing number of oscilloscope users are finding that the traditional four channels that have been the norm for decades are no longer sufficient. In this article you find out how eight channels provide the answer.

Yokogawa Europe's Clive Davis, Kelvin Hagebeuk and Hafeez Najumudeen discuss how instruments can evolve to meet the latest automotive challenges.

Joseph Ting, digital oscilloscope product manager at Yokogawa Corporation of America, outlined two primary advantages in using a scope platform to analyze serial bus activity. 'First, a scope can identify waveform quality issues related to analog characteristics such as noise, rise time, or overshoot. By comparison,' he continued, 'a logic analyzer or dedicated protocol analyzer typically can only extract timing or protocol information. Second, a scope's additional channels support time correlation of the serial bus activity with other mixed signals in the system, such as power supply, analog sensor, or memory bus.'
