How to choose a reconditioned oscilloscope: 5 criteria that can't be mistaken
A reconditioned oscilloscope allows you to keep a bench operational, avoid manufacturer delays and control a technical budget without losing reliability. It's a useful solution when the aim is to quickly replace a critical device while retaining the same measurement procedures and compatibility with the existing equipment.

How do you choose your Keysight or Teledyne LeCroy oscilloscope for monitoring complex signals?
The two giants of electronic measurement, Keysight (direct heir to HP and Agilent) and Teledyne LeCroy, have occupied a central place in R&D, teaching and metrology laboratories for decades. But while their instruments may seem comparable, their philosophies and strengths differ profoundly. This article will help you to understand their differences...

How to prepare for a COFRAC audit with reconditioned instruments: 6 key steps
A COFRAC audit is not just an administrative control; it is an examination of technical competence and metrological traceability. The use of reconditioned instruments is not an obstacle if each stage of preparation is controlled. With rigorous organisation, a well-monitored reconditioned instrument can be easily integrated into the ISO 17025 standard.

5 tips to extend the lifespan of your reconditioned appliances
Refurbished equipment retains all its technical value if it is properly maintained. With a few simple preventive maintenance and metrological checks, it is possible to significantly extend its lifespan and guarantee its reliability.

How do you choose between a portable calibrator and a laboratory calibrator to combine precision and mobility?
Whether in the field or in the laboratory, metrology remains at the heart of measurement and calibration. Depending on the environment, needs vary: maintenance technicians prefer mobility, while metrologists are looking for stability and traceability. Is it possible to reconcile portability and ISO 17025 requirements? This article sheds light on the technical differences between portable calibrators...

Which oscilloscope should you choose for a multifunction test bench?
When it comes to equipping a multifunction test bench, the relevance of an oscilloscope can be judged by its practical compatibility with its uses: bandwidth adapted to the signals being measured, at least four channels, sufficient memory depth and a coherent choice between DSO or MSO depending on the environment of use, whether embedded, production or teaching. Industrial refurbishment enables...
