With first ASIC-based zone triggering for MXO oscilloscopes, Rohde & Schwarz breaks acquisition rate records

Rohde & Schwarz further strengthens its oscilloscope portfolio by introducing the industry’s first ASIC-based zone triggering. With this new approach, the MXO series can offer the world’s fastest zone trigger update rate of up to 600 000 waveforms per second and less than 1.45 us blind time between trigger events. It is up to 10 000 faster than competitive zone triggering offerings. Thanks to the new ASIC-based zone triggering, MXO oscilloscopes can precisely isolate events where traditional triggering does not provide the needed flexibility.

Rohde & Schwarz presents R&S RT-ZISO isolated probing system for precise measurements of fast switching signals

Rohde & Schwarz has developed the R&S RT-ZISO isolated probing system, further elevating its cutting-edge oscilloscope portfolio. The new R&S RT-ZISO enables extremely accurate measurements of fast switching signals, especially in environments with high common-mode voltages and currents. Also new is the R&S RT-ZPMMCX passive probe with MMCX connector, which complements the isolated probe system perfectly for certain measurement tasks.

FAQ

How to test electronic components?

The exact steps would depend on the type of electronic component. For example, the procedure (and tools) for testing a resistor would not be the same as that for a capacitor. However, the general process would look something like this:

1. Visual inspection: Start by checking for any obvious physical damage or irregularities.

2. Continuity: After visual inspection, the first thing to check would be whether electricity can flow through the component. This provides a baseline for resistance and voltage tests.

3. Resistance: Check if there is current loss when electricity is flowing through the component.

4. Voltage: Check the force of electric pressure (you would need to know if it is AC or DC current).

Why do we need to test electronic components?

Quality assurance: Testing ensures that components meet quality standards and specifications before they are integrated into larger systems or products. This helps prevent malfunctions or failures down the line.
Reliability: Electronic components are often used in critical applications where reliability is paramount. Testing helps identify any potential weaknesses or defects that could lead to failures, ensuring the overall reliability of a system or product.
Safety: Faulty electronic components can pose safety hazards, especially in applications such as automotive systems and medical
