Your oscilloscope has been quietly upgraded, and you don’t know it yet?
Workers
As the hot summer approaches, please allow me to lie down here.
The competition is fierce, we can't lie down!
Time flies by, and MXR is already over a year old. The UXR series also presented a New Year gift at the end of last year - UXR0104A. This year, Keysight's oscilloscopes are constantly growing. Oscilloscopes are also "rolling up". Entering this period of 2021, UXR/MXR/EXR has undergone two firmware upgrades. Let's take a look at what new features your oscilloscope has?
*: AP series models are all 1mm input, same as 80-110GHz models
✔One of the biggest highlights of this update is the addition of the Fault Hunter function on the UXR platform. Based on the market feedback on the Fault Hunter function of the MXR series, the Fault Hunter function is updated as a standard function on the UXR platform. In addition, the History mode and waveform recording function are also included in this update.
Glitch Hunter Tips:
Fault Hunter is a new innovative expert system for checking digital system signals. It automatically evaluates the characteristics of the signal and makes decisions based on a large amount of data (waveforms) obtained at a fast waveform refresh rate, thereby quickly finding abnormal signals and saving fault waveforms for viewing and analysis.
✔ New 2-channel to 4-channel option for UXR series AP models.
✔Added support for N7010A (30GHz adapter, applications such as HDMI2.1, DP, M-PHY) and N7024A (6GHz power ripple probe, applications such as power supply testing).
✔Added support for PCIE5.0, USB4.0, 400G FEC, and DP 2.0 Phase 1 protocol decoding.
✔For EXR and EXR series, the newly added 1.6 Gpts memory depth upgrade option is a highlight . From the initial upgrade of 200 Mpts/Ch to 400 Mpts/Ch, it can now be upgraded to a maximum of 1.6 Gpts/Ch. The newly added deep memory option allows the MXR/EXR series oscilloscopes to capture longer waveforms while maintaining a high sampling rate.
Tips for deep storage application scenarios:
Capture waveforms for longer periods of time for protocol analysis, when the cause of a problem cannot be determined to clearly set trigger conditions;
Capturing long-term waveforms for jitter and phase noise analysis can analyze low-frequency jitter components and more accurate phase noise analysis results;
When converting waveforms from time domain to frequency domain, long storage waveforms can provide higher resolution bandwidth or frequency domain resolution.
For the current popular mmW and 5G applications, longer memory depth ensures longer capture time at high sampling rate, which can bring higher EVM accuracy!
✔Added DP 2.0 Phase 1, Ethernet 1000BaseT1, and MDIO protocol decoding.
✔Added USB4 LS/MDIO/RFFE Hardware trigger.
✔Added FFT amplitude and multiplication functions supported by software zone trigger.
Hello, nice to meet you Hi-Z High Voltage Probe!
As the operating frequency of power supplies continues to increase, engineers have begun to adopt high-frequency power switch and rectifier technology. From the rise/fall time of traditional planar or trench MOSFET switches of 30ns to 60ns, the switching time of power switches such as super junction MOSFET, GaN MOSFET, SiC MOSFET and SiC Schottky rectifier is less than 5ns. In order to observe such fast signal changes, a measurement system with sufficient bandwidth is usually required. The probe system, which is the short board of the measurement system, is particularly important here.
When it comes to various high-frequency and high-power components in circuits, the contribution of high-voltage probes cannot be underestimated. Which probe do you think of first among the many probes from Keysight Technologies?
