News and Information about the Test of Electronics in Research & Design, Production, Maintenance, and Installation.
24 February 2026 - Keysight Technologies launched its next-generation Infiniium XR8 Real-Time oscilloscopes, designed to accelerate high-speed digital and compliance testing while improving efficiency and insight for modern electronics development. As interface standards such as USB, DisplayPort, and DDR rapidly evolve and scale in speed and complexity, engineers face tighter margins, higher data rates, and compressed development timelines. These pressures result in longer validation cycles, reduced noise tolerance, and growing lab constraints. The Infiniium XR8 addresses these challenges with a completely new hardware and software architecture optimized for today’s high-speed digital applications and emerging standards, helping engineering teams condense days of testing into hours.
23 February 2026 - Dear readers, as you have probably noticed, All-about-Test has changed virtually overnight. We have been working intensively on this changeover and renewal over the past few weeks. Not only has the website been migrated to a new software version, but the site has also been completely redesigned and modernized.
16 February 2026 – Vector Informatik, a solution provider for software-defined systems in automotive and beyond, has acquired the RocqStat software technology and the expert team from StatInf. This acquisition enhances Vector’s capabilities in timing analysis and worst-case execution time (WCET) estimation, supporting the growing demand for reliable software verification in safety-critical systems.
12 February 2026 – Audio Precision announced the Programmable Serial Input/Output (PSIO) module, a next-generation digital serial interface for APx B-Series audio analyzers. PSIO replaces the long-standing DSIO module and delivers major advances in low-voltage operation, signal integrity, clocking, and format flexibility to address the needs of today’s audio IC and system designers. Designed for engineers testing digital audio devices using I²S, TDM, and other serial digital audio interfaces, PSIO supports logic levels from 0.5 V to 3.3 V, enabling validation of modern low-power integrated circuits used in mobile phones, wearables, and battery-powered consumer electronics.
11 February 2026 - Rohde & Schwarz expands its portfolio of mid-range instruments with the launch of the R&S FPL1044 spectrum analyzer and a new 40 MHz real-time spectrum analysis (RTSA) option for the entire FPL family. The R&S FPL1044 is an industry first, delivering high-frequency performance up to 44 GHz at a price point previously unattainable in the market. The universal RTSA option empowers FPL users with powerful real-time analysis capabilities. The new R&S FPL1044 offers a frequency range of 10 Hz to 44 GHz. It is the first and only spectrum analyzer in this price range on the market to reach the 44 GHz milestone, drastically lowering the entry barrier for high-frequency testing.
