8GHz Tektronix Oscilloscope Delivered

We were extremely fortunate to be granted a major funding application from the university last year for a very high end, Tektronix 8 GHz, 25 GSa/s oscilloscope. We also received an 8 GHz differential probe for the oscilloscope enabling us to get the most out of it.

We plan to use this oscilloscope for measuring PCI-Express and other high speed signals.

We don't have any photos of signal measurements yet, but the scope works perfectly so far! Check out the photos below of Oscar just after installation, and Marc when he realized that the oscilloscope runs Windows 7...

Hopefully other staff and post-grads at the university will find this oscilloscope useful to their research as well. We hope to get many years of good service from this awesome piece of equipment.
