06 October 2025 - Pico Technology has released pyPicoSDK, a new Python package designed to simplify the use of PicoScopes oscilloscopes. Built on top of the existing PicoSDK, pyPicoSDK allows engineers, developers and hobbyists to create Python scripts that control their PicoScope devices more quickly and easily. The new library is an extension of the picosdk-python-packages, bundling all direct driver functions into a single group. It also includes built-in helper functions that reduce the complexity of many PicoScope operations. This design reflects Python’s core philosophy, enabling users to build solutions with speed and simplicity.
01 October 2025 - Tektronix unveiled the MP5000 Series modular precision test system, a transformative solution that sets the pace for the future of automated test. Built on the principle of modularity, it allows engineers to combine precision source measure units (SMUs) and programmable power supply units (PSUs) within a compact 1U mainframe—delivering the adaptability and scalability modern validation and production workflows demand. At launch, the system includes a 60-volt dual-channel SMU, a dual-channel 50-watt bipolar power supply, and the MP5103 mainframe.

29 September 2025 - RIGOL Technologies rolls out a trio of next-generation platforms that push channel density, system integration, and signal fidelity to new heights. The DG5000 Pro multi-channel AWG packs eight isolated outputs—500 MHz, 2.5 GSa/s, 16-bit—with picosecond skew into a desktop chassis. The modular SUA8000 digital transceivers fuse waveform generation, high-speed capture, and long recording, adding AI processing and open APIs for rapid custom workflows.
26 September 2025 - Pickering Interfaces has announced a major expansion to its range of standard COTS LXI microwave switching solutions. Debuting at European Microwave Week (EuMW) in the Netherlands from September 23-25, the five new RFIU families provide the building blocks required to address a vast number of demanding RF testing applications.
