High-bandwidth and high-resolution oscilloscopes deliver advanced features

Saelig Company, Inc. now offers the Siglent SDS7000A series of high-bandwidth, high-resolution oscilloscopes with advanced features such as 20GSa/s sampling, 12-bit vertical resolution, and 500Mpts per channel memory. Using 12-bit ADCs to limit quantisation errors helps greatly in observing small signal details. The noise floor on the series is as low as 220μVrms at 4GHz bandwidth, and the waveform capture rate reaches one million wfm/s, excellent for capturing abnormal events. The scopes have a 15.6" high-definition touch screen for analysing all signal channels simultaneously and improving operational efficiency. Sixteen digital channels are also provided for high-performance mixed-signal analysis.

The SDS7000A series supports multiple automatic parameter measurements, such as jitter and eye characterisation, with easy setup to speed debugging tasks and simplify engineering design testing. Siglent also provides embedded compliance test solutions to evaluate systems versus communication standards, including USB 2.0, 100base-TX, 1000base-T, 100base-T1 and 1000base-T1. Users can configure the test items, enabling software to control the oscilloscope to complete the defined test automatically and automatically supply signal test results (Pass/fail) after comparison with reference standards. This helps to speed up, identify, and resolve critical signal and transmission issues. The trigger system supports multiple powerful triggering modes, including serial bus triggering. Tools such as History waveform recording, Search and Navigate functions, Signal Scan, Mask Test, Bode Plot, Power Analysis, Eye/Jitter Analysis and Compliance Test allow for extended waveform records to be captured, stored, and analysed.

The SAP5000D 5GHz active differential probe supports the oscilloscope for detailed signal analysis. Its high input resistance and low input capacitance ensure minimising the load introduced by the measurement system. The probes do not require an extra external power supply and are automatically recognised by the oscilloscope through an intelligent SAPBus interface, making them suitable for oscilloscopes in the SDS5000X, SDS6000A and SDS7000A series.

This series of high-bandwidth, high-resolution oscilloscopes comprises two models: SDS7404A (4GHz) and SDS7304A (3GHz).
