Manufacturers, research labs, material analysis, and particle analysis all use test and measurement equipment to measure various components of the materials they work with and analyze. The tools used for those applications are extensive—signal generators, digital pattern generators, pulse generators, oscilloscopes, and wireless communications testers, to name just a few—and are used to ensure products and equipment function reliably and efficiently before hitting the market.

The test and measurement equipment itself must be highly accurate, and in some cases certified, to meet the strict requirements of their users. In this roundup, we will look at some of the latest test and measurement equipment to appear thus far in 2020.
