Are your instruments FCC compliant?
December 18, 2018
Test and measurement equipment is exempt from FCC emissions limits per CFR 47, Part 15, para 15.103(c): https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/CFR-2002-title47-vol1/pdf/CFR-2002-title47-vol1-sec15-103.pdf Specifically: “(c) A digital device used exclusively as industrial, commercial, or medical test equipment.”
Measurement Data Depth SDS2000X vs. SDS1/2 X-E
December 18, 2018
One of the more powerful features of digital oscilloscopes is the automatic measurement function. Most modern scopes allow you to measure 20 or 30 separate waveform parameters including rise/fall time, phase difference, peak-to-peak voltage, and more. Some functions can actually measure large data sets to provide a “running average” of the measurement over a long … Continued
The number of data points for low, medium, and high resolution Bode Plot scans X-E series oscilloscopes
December 18, 2018
The SIGLENT X-E series of oscilloscopes feature Bode Plot capability for quickly collecting frequency response data on devices. There are three frequency sweep resolutions available: Low Resolution = 21 data points/sweep Medium Resolution = 101 data points/sweep High Resolution = 501 data points/sweep
New Gated Measurement SCPI commands for SDS1000X-E Oscilloscopes

“MEGS ON/OFF” set the gated measurement function to turn on or turn off “MEGA -10ns” set the cursor A “MEGB 10ns” set the cursor B
Adding MSO/Logic Analyzer Capability to the SDS1004X-E Series of Oscilloscopes
February 26, 2018
Mixed Signal Oscilloscopes (MSO’s for short) feature the ability to show both analog and digital signals using the same timebase. This is essentially like adding a logic analyzer (LA) to the analog scope portion of the design. The SIGLENT 4 channel SDS1004X-E series of oscilloscopes (currently the 100 MHz SDS1104X-E and 200 MHz SDS1204X-E models) can … Continued
SDS1000X-E New Fixed Position Zoom
February 8, 2018
This feature allows the user to adjust the position selections for horizontal and vertical zooming. Traditionally, most scopes allow you to zoom around a fixed position. This is typically the center of the display (which is the standard operation on all SIGLENT scopes). We refer to this as fixed delay for horizontal and fixed offset … Continued

Waveform Capture and Regeneration using EasyWave Software and a SIGLENT oscilloscope with the AWG option
December 27, 2017
Some SIGLENT oscilloscopes feature an Arbitrary Waveform Generator (AWG) option. This feature allows you to source basic waveforms up-to 25 MHz outputs up to 6 Vpp (-3 to +3 V max in High Z output impedance). In this application note, we are going to show the steps involved in capturing a waveform on a SIGLENT … Continued
How to Capture a Runt Pulse with a SIGLENT SDS Oscilloscope
December 27, 2017
Capturing a Runt Pulse The new Super Phosphor Oscilloscope (SPO) technology supports deep memory, a fast waveform refresh rate and a 256 grey scale and color temperature waveform display. The intelligent Pass / Fail function is widely used in industrial electronic detection. The technology also includes powerful intelligent triggering (window, interval, timeout, pattern, Runt). Here … Continued
How to save to an external USB with the SDS series of oscilloscopes
December 22, 2017
The SDS series of SIGLENT Digital Oscilloscopes have a number of save options that include copies of the displayed image (Bitmap, JPG, and PNG are common image types) as well as instrument configurations (Setups) and data (CSV). Here are brief instructions on how to save files to external USB memory devices. Insert a USB memory … Continued
