Tektronix introduces 7 Series DPO, setting a new benchmark in ultra-high-performance test and measurement

 Powered by proprietary ASICs, the oscilloscope delivers the industry’s lowest noise, highest ENOB, and up to 10x faster data offload

BEAVERTON, Ore., Sept. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Tektronix today announced the 7 Series DPO oscilloscope, the first in a new generation of ultra-high-performance instruments. Engineered to deliver the industry’s lowest noise and highest ENOB, and architected for scale, the 7 Series launches with bandwidth up to 25 GHz. Featuring Tek’s latest signal path and data processing advancements—including two newly developed, custom ASICs—this new oscilloscope is purpose-built for engineering teams and researchers pushing the boundaries of high-speed communications, high-energy physics, AI, and quantum computing.

With up to 10x faster data offload than legacy instruments1, it helps teams capture and analyze complex signals with dramatically less noise—helping them see more, know more, and move faster.

“When the limits of your test system become the limits of your innovation, it’s time for a new approach,” said Chris Bohn, President at Tektronix. “The 7 Series was designed in collaboration with engineers working on the world’s most complex challenges, so it reflects what they need most, including high-frequency coverage, low noise, and fast analysis. This scope gives our customers the capabilities and confidence they need to achieve breakthroughs.”

A new benchmark for precision at the performance edge

Early customer collaborators include researchers in high-energy physics, leading semiconductor manufacturers, national labs, and RF system integrators—all of whom helped shape the series’ priority features:

  • Unmatched signal fidelity – ultra-low random noise delivers industry-leading effective number of bits (ENOB) – 7.5 bits at 8 GHz to 6.5 bits at 25 GHz) – providing crystal-clear precision across the full bandwidth range
  • Visibility without compromise – QuietChannel technology applies active equalization to compensate for high-speed signal loss, reducing noise and increasing measurement fidelity
  • Breakthrough speed – up to 10x faster data transfer with 10G SFP+ LAN and the TekHSIlibrary accelerates high-throughput validation
  • Designed for scale – upgradeable architecture and TekConnect® probe interface compatibility safeguard long-term investment
  • Engineered for modern workflows – native serial analysis tools, a 15.6″ 1080p touchscreen, and dual support for both Windows and Linux to streamline validation and accelerate insight

Powered by proprietary, custom silicon

The 7 Series DPO is built on a next-generation signal path architecture that combines custom ASICs, optimized FPGAs, and a high-performance GPU to reduce noise, preserve signal integrity, and accelerate analysis. At its core are Tektronix’s latest chipsets—Tek079 and Tek085—the silicon foundation for a new generation of oscilloscopes built for scale, advancing to higher bandwidths while maintaining the industry’s lowest noise and highest ENOB. This new silicon reflects years of focused engineering to push measurement precision in demanding environments, and close partnership with metrology experts to ensure every specification is rigorously validated for trusted accuracy.

Seamless experience enabled by TekScope software

The 7 Series is equipped with TekScope® software, recognized for its intuitive design, cross-platform consistency, and instant, touch-optimized access to deep insights. It unifies the user interface and programmatic control, providing a seamless experience across workflows and applications—accelerating discovery and innovation.

Availability

The DPO714AX, the first in Tektronix’s new ultra-high-performance 7 Series, is available to order today and begins shipping later this month. Learn more or request a demo at tek.com.

BrainCo Launches Revo2 Hand for Humanoid Robotics

BOSTON, Sept. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — BrainCo, a leading global brain-computer interface company, has recently unveiled its next-generation bionic dexterous hand: the BrainCo Bionic Dexterous Hand Revo2. Building on years of expertise in developing prosthetic limbs for individuals with disabilities, the company has established a strong technological foundation, which now serves as the base for its strategic expansion into embodied intelligence with the launch of this advanced dexterous hand.

Designed with ergonomic principles in mind, Revo2 is an ultra-lightweight and compact bionic hand weighing just 383g and measuring 16 x 7.6 cm. It offers sub-millimeter precision of 0.1 mm, delivers a grip force of 50N, and supports a payload of 20 kg, achieving a remarkable grip-to-weight ratio of 52.6. Equipped with multimodal tactile sensors, a wide voltage range of 64V, and support for various communication protocols, Revo2 unlocks new possibilities in embodied intelligent dexterous manipulation.

As the boundaries of embodied intelligence expand from simple transportation tasks to fine motor operations, application scenarios are growing increasingly complex. To meet this demand, robot designs are evolving toward human-like form factors. It is widely acknowledged that the development of a dexterous hand accounts for nearly half the engineering complexity of humanoid robots—hands are among the most intricate and sophisticated subsystems.

Through innovations in bionic joint design, precision transmission mechanisms, and lightweight system integration, BrainCo has created a product that mimics the human hand both structurally and functionally. This “millimeter-level subtraction” engineering strategy has led to a “multiplication in performance,” enabling Revo2 to achieve industry-leading lightweight performance and efficiency.

At just 16 cm long—similar in size to an average adult female hand—Revo2 weighs only 383 grams, about the weight of six eggs, which is 20% lighter than the industry average. Despite its compactness, it delivers 50N of grip force.

To put this in context: everyday tasks typically require 30–40N of grip force, meaning Revo2 can easily handle most light industrial tasks and home applications, and even lift items weighing 20 kg—equivalent to a full office water jug.

Noise levels are also tightly controlled, staying below 50 dB, quieter than ambient noise in a typical office. Revo2 features multiple safety protections including anti-collision, overcurrent, and overheating protection, ensuring safe and reliable operation across diverse environments, and significantly reducing failure rates. This makes it particularly well-suited for laboratories, home service, and industrial settings.

Another standout feature is Revo2’s advanced tactile sensing system. The integration of tactile sensors into the finger structure enables “lightweight, high-perception” capabilities.

With built-in 3D tactile sensors, Revo2 can accurately perceive fingertip pressure, as well as detect object hardness, texture, force direction, and even proximity.

With this tactile system, humanoid robots and other applications can not only “grasp” objects, but also “feel” them—distinguishing between objects’ fragility, texture, or resilience, enabling precision-level manipulation and hand-eye coordination. A classic example is its ability to strike a matchstick with ease.

From smart home tasks like laundry and cooking, to industrial operations like assembly, welding, and inspection, dexterous hands are emerging as indispensable components. With the rapid growth of the embodied intelligence industry, demand is expected to soar. BrainCo stated that it will continue to focus on real-world use cases and work toward broader deployment and application of bionic dexterous hands across diverse fields.
