New economical, high-performance Siglent SDS2000X-E Series Super Phosphor Oscilloscopes are available in 200 MHz and 350 MHz bandwidths. They feature a maximum sampling rate of 2 GSa/sec and a standard record length of 28 Mpts/ch (interleaved mode). With an impressive waveform capture rate of up to 400,000 frames/sec (sequence mode) Siglent’s newest oscilloscope series supports multiple powerful triggering modes that include built-in serial bus triggering and decoding (I²C, SPI, UART, CAN, LIN).

The design includes deep memory FFT functionality to enable test signals to be viewed in the frequency domain. It uses up to 1 million samples for the FFT calculation, providing the SDS2000X-E with a high frequency resolution. Commonly used functions are accessed with the user-friendly one-button design, which supports Auto Setup, Default, Cursors, Measure, Roll, History, Display/Persist, Clear Sweep, Zoom and Print. A hardware co-processor executes fast measurement and math calculations to all 28 million samples to minimize analysis distortion.

Also included in the design are on-screen automatic Bode plotting, and sixteen digital channels for optional MSO capability. For digital debugging, this means that users can set the MSO to trigger on data patterns or an I²C address with a certain data value, for instance. An optional USB-powered 25-MHz AWG module can provide a convenient local test signal source.

The SDS2000X-E series employs a new generation of SPO technology, which, with its excellent signal fidelity, means that background noise is lower than in many similar products. This enables a minimum vertical input range of 500 μV/div. The innovative, intelligent digital trigger system offers high sensitivity and low jitter, with selections of edge, slope, pulse width, window, runt, interval, timeout (dropout), pattern, and video triggering. History waveform recording and sequential triggering allow for extended waveform records to be captured, stored, and analyzed. Automatic measurements are provided for 38 parameters. Measurement statistics, zoom, gating, math, history and reference functions are also available.

The SDS2000X-E series provides a 256-level intensity grading display function and a color temperature display mode not found in other models in this class. An optional USB WiFi adapter allows for local wireless control and monitoring, while an onboard embedded application allows for remote control via web browser from anywhere.

With multiple interface capabilities (USB Host/Device (USB -TMC), LAN, Pass/Fail, Trigger Out) and SCPI remote control support, the SDS2000X-E series with its large 7-in TFT display offers a versatile benchtop test tool for students and engineers alike.

These oscilloscopes are made by Siglent Technologies, which, since 2002, has been one of the leading high quality test equipment manufacturers, with a growing worldwide reputation. The SDS2000X-E series oscilloscopes are available now from Saelig, the USA technical distributor.
