Double Pulse Testing, Three Ways: From Manual Bench to Automated Production Cell at PCIM
The double pulse test is the same. The infrastructure around it has split into three distinct product categories: precision bench characterization (R&S MXO5), automated production testing (iPE cell), and development...

Two Oscilloscopes, One Wolfspeed Board: How Keysight Tackles the High-Side Measurement Problem at PCIM
One Wolfspeed SiC evaluation board. Two Keysight oscilloscopes — 1 GHz 14-bit on the left, 6 GHz 16-bit on the right. Same DUT, different measurement questions, different instrument tiers. The...

When an Oscilloscope Becomes a Motor Drive Analyzer: The Case for Application-Specific Measurement
The MDA 8208HD doesn't call itself an oscilloscope. It's a Motor Drive Analyzer — and that distinction defines everything: 8 channels for three-phase systems, automated harmonic analysis, and correlated time-frequency...

One Signal, Four Perspectives: What a 12-Bit Oscilloscope Actually Shows You
The same signal, four analytical perspectives at once. The Teledyne LeCroy WavePro 804HD-MS 12-bit demo in Turin showed what it means to move from waveform observation to behavioral characterization.

12-Bit Oscilloscopes: When More Resolution Reveals More — and Demands More
12-bit resolution gives you 16× more vertical detail than standard 8-bit. But it also amplifies everything your probe introduces. A breakdown of the Yokogawa DLM5058HD demo

Why Measuring GaN Switching Is Harder Than Designing It
At high dv/dt and di/dt, measuring GaN switching behavior becomes more challenging than designing it. This article breaks down a complete probe-based measurement system observed at Embedded World 2026.

One Oscilloscope. Four Domains. Why Modern Automotive Debugging Is a System Problem
At Embedded World 2026, one Tektronix demo captured why modern automotive debugging spans four domains: CAN bus, RF/wireless, EMI, and signal integrity — all from a single oscilloscope platform.

Isolated Oscilloscopes: Why They Are Critical for Power Electronics Measurement
Modern power electronics systems challenge traditional oscilloscope design. Shared-ground measurements introduce errors and risks in high-voltage environments. Isolated architectures provide a fundamentally different approach to accurate measurement.
