In the past, it was easy to decide whether to use a real-time oscilloscope or an equivalent-time “sampling” oscilloscope. To view very-high-speed signals, you needed the bandwidth of the sampling ...

As applications have grown in complexity, serial buses have begun to supplant parallel buses. One of the advantages of a serial bus over parallel bus is the small number of signal lines required. Also ...

With new 13 GHz and 16 GHz models, the R&S RTP high-performance oscilloscope family, the most compact multi-purpose lab instrument available, is now scalable from the 4 GHz minimum up to the full 16 ...

14-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) oscilloscope delivers four times the signal resolution and half the noise floor of other general-purpose oscilloscopes Instrument built from the ground up with ...

Fig 1. The Tektronix MDO4000 enables designers, for the first time, to capture time-correlated analogue, digital, and RF signals for a complete system view of their device. Fig 2. The spectrum shown ...

Most test-equipment manufacturers live on the leading edge of electronics. Their advanced instruments give engineers the tools to develop the latest, limit-pushing circuits and systems, because “you ...

Embedded systems are the foundation of today’s electronic devices, spanning sectors as diverse as consumer electronics, telecommunications, industrial, medical, automotive and aerospace applications.

Timing relationships between signals are critical to reliable operation of digital designs. With synchronous designs, the timing of the clock signal relative to data signals is especially important.

You stare at the log output. It seems okay, and yet the bug is still hiding. Was Task A missing its deadline? You don’t know. Was a priority inversion quietly breaking the scheduler? Again, you don’t ...
