Tektronix will showcase the latest in optical test innovation for datacentre networking at a virtual technology and optical week from September 28-October 2.

Tektronix has launched the new 6 Series B Mixed Signal Oscilloscope (MSO) which extends the performance threshold of the Tektronix Mainstream Oscilloscopes Portfolio to 10 GHz and 50 GS/sec.

Tektronix has announced the new 8 Series sampling oscilloscope platform, a disaggregated modular instrument series boasting parallel acquisition, with up to four channels per mainframe and the highest measurement accuracy for PAM4 optical signals on multiple inputs simultaneously.

Tektronix has announced the availability of a native integration between the Keithley DAQ6510 and DMM6500 instruments with Initial State, an loT dashboard for data streaming and visualisation for world-class, remote data access. Keithley and Initial State, both Tektronix companies, collaborated to integrate Initial State's data streaming and visualisation platform with the Keithley graphical DAQ6510 and DMM6500.

Targeting a cost-sensitive audience including educational institutions embedded design engineers and the maker community Tektronix has unveiled the TBS1000C digital storage oscilloscope, the latest addition to its entry portfolio and an expansion of the TBS1000 series.

Tektronix has announced the new TBS2000B Series of Digital Storage Oscilloscopes that was developed to meet the performance, usability and affordability needs of both engineers and educators. The TBS2000B scopes extend the performance of the TBS2000 portfolio to 200 Mhz with 2GS/s maximum sample rate.

Tektronix has announced the new 2601B-PULSE System SourceMeter 10μs Pulser/SMU Instrument, integrating a high-speed current pulser with DC source and measurement functions in one instrument.

Tektronix will be showcasing a wide-range of test and measurement products at Embedded World 2020 (Stand 104, Hall 4), which takes place from 25th to 27th February in Nuremberg, Germany. The Tektronix products on display will address a wide range of applications. 

University of East Anglia (UEA) students are now enjoying a newly refurbished state-of the art Electrical and Electronic Engineering laboratory featuring 36 fully equipped workstations thanks to Tektronix and Rapid Electronics, one of the UK’s leading distributors of educational test equipment.

Two new source measure unit (SMU) modules for the Keithley 4200A-SCS Parameter Analyser that can perform low-current measurements even in the presence of high load capacitance due to long cables and complex test setups have been introduced by Tektronix.

Double pulse testing in less than a minute is now possible on the Tektronix AFG31000 arbitrary/function generator with the availability of a new software plugin. It saves significant time compared to alternative methods.

Optical test innovation for data centre networking will be demonstrated by Tektronix at ECOC 2019 in Dublin (September 22-26. It is the largest optical communications exhibition and conference in Europe. Tektronix will be hosting industry experts from leading research and commercial companies to discuss the trends and opportunities for emerging optical communications designs. 

Debugging embedded systems often involves looking for clues that are hard to discover just by looking at one domain at a time. The ability to look at time and frequency domains simultaneously can offer important insights. Lee Morgan of Tektronix explains further.

Tektronix has released two software packages that greatly simplify Automotive Ethernet testing, debug and Protocol Decode for use with its 5 and 6 Series mixed signal oscilloscopes (MSO). Using the new Signal Separation software, automotive engineers can now perform Automotive Ethernet testing without disrupting the ECU system or cutting the Ethernet cable to install a directional coupler. 

Two oscilloscopes offering 13GHz and 16GHz frequency have been added to Tektronix’s scalable DPO70000SX Series Performance Oscilloscope series. The new offerings allow engineers to take advantage of the high sample rate and low noise floor of Tektronix’ highest performance family of oscilloscopes at lower bandwidth levels and more affordable price points.

Royal Holloway, University of London, has officially opened its new Beatrice Shilling Building which includes state-of-the-art teaching laboratories in partnership with Tektronix and Rapid Electronics, the UK-based distributor of educational test equipment.

“So,” asked Tektronix of a cross section of engineers, “what do you want from a next generation, mid-market oscilloscope?” What they asked for Tektronix reckons it has delivered with the 3 Series Mixed Domain Oscilloscope (MDO) and 4 Series Mixed-signal oscilloscope (MSO).

In a management reshuffle Tami Newcombe has been promoted to President of Tektronix, and Marc Tremblay who was named that role earlier this year is instead becoming President of Fluke. Both companies are owned by Fortive. Newcombe joined Tektronix in early 2017 as Commercial President and has been responsible for leading global sales and marketing.  

A wide-range of test and measurement products and solutions will be showcased by Tektronix at PCIM 2019 in Nuremberg (May 7-9) including the SiC MOSFET and GaNFET Switching Power Converter Analysis Kit. Tektronix experts will also be on hand to discuss the latest power test solutions from Tektronix.

If you’ve ever worked with micro components of a power supply circuit, you know exactly how the gentleman in this video feels.
