Today’s boards can have 20 or more power rails. Many are less than 3 V and most have noise limits. Accurate noise measurements demand special attention.
Highlights
Clocks are the heart of every embedded system and digital communication link. Jitter and other clock distortion can impact system operation, and getting to the root cause can be challenging without the right analysis tools.
Highlights
Conduct advanced wideband RF analysis with up to 2 GHz analysis bandwidth with SignalVu-PC Vector Signal Analysis software.

High speed digital interfaces rely on rigorous test procedures to ensure reliability and interoperability. Automated compliance testing software manages the whole testing process -- setup, making measurements, checking against limits, and generating detailed reports.
Highlights
Each analog channel on the 6 Series MSO can show you a time domain waveform, a spectrum, or both. Time and frequency plots are synchronized to help you quickly determine which signals are the victims and which ones are the aggressors.
EMI Troubleshooting with the Latest-Generation OscilloscopesThe Inverters, Motors and Drives Analysis package makes it easy to perform stable, reliable power measurements on 3-phase PWM systems.
