Tektronix has brought out a new line of DSA70000 real-time Digital Serial Analysers (DSA) and P7500 probes, both providing high-speed performance for the next generation of fast serial data applications such as PCI-Express 2.0, HDMI 1.3, and SATA III. The latest serial technologies are faster and more complex than prior generations and require better test equipment capable of greater performance and more extensive analysis.
'Tektronix is intimate with the latest technologies that underpin the fast data buses inside PCs, entertainment systems, networks, new wireless standards, and with on-demand delivery of digital video over converged multi-carrier networks that are integral to the new digital world', said Rick Wills, Chairman and CEO, Tektronix.
'With our latest announcements, customers have access to the most advanced instruments and software available for testing their high-speed serial data designs'.
The new real-time DSA70000 Series with bandwidth to 20GHz are said to be the world's fastest 4-channel real-time oscilloscopes, and the P7500 Series are claimed to be the world's fastest active differential probes.

'2nd and 3rd generation serial data technologies provide order of magnitude greater data throughput than possible only a few years ago and now underpin the fastest product designs', said Martyn Etherington, Vice President, Instruments Business, Tektronix.
'With the new DSA70000 Series real-time oscilloscopes, DSA8200 sampling oscilloscopes, AWG7000 arbitrary waveform generators, and P7500 series probes, engineers have access to an entirely new portfolio with the capabilities needed to develop next generation products incorporating high-speed serial data technologies''.
The DSA7000 Analysers have up to 20GHz bandwidth on all four channels simultaneously, 50 Gsample/s on all four channels, up to 200Mbyte memory on all four channels, and more than 300,000 waveforms captured per second to provide both critical insight into signal behaviour and in-depth analysis.
The new models include 12.5GHz, 16GHz, and 20GHz versions.
The DSA70000 series instruments include leading Serial Compliance, Jitter and Timing Analysis tools that provide patented software clock recovery, RT-Eye Serial Compliance and Analysis Software, and a full battery of standard-specific parametric measurements.
The new DSA70000 can be optioned with the industry's broadest range of automated software applications to speed pass/fail testing to industry standards such as PCI Express, SATA, FB-DIMM, HDMI and more.
