Three new bench scopes added to portfolio deliver outstanding signal fidelity and visualisation

Telonic Instruments is now selling the latest Siglent oscilloscopes, the SDS800X HD, SDS1000X HD, and SDS3000X HD.

The new series of oscilloscopes is developed to improve signal fidelity, visualisation, and analysis. Each high-resolution scope has advanced 12-bit ADCs, low noise, gain accuracy, and channel isolation. Bandwidths range from 70MHz to 4GHz, providing outstanding signal fidelity for various applications, including power, EMI, frequency analysis, embedded design, and failure analysis.

The SDS800X HD and SDS1000X HD are typically specified at just 70µVrms noise at 200MHz bandwidth. As with all Siglent high-resolution oscilloscopes, the lower ranges are specified at 1.5%DC gain accuracy and 0.5% accuracy for ranges ≥5mV/div. The SDS3000X HD series provides up to 60dB of channel-to-channel isolation. This performance allows engineers to analyse and solve signal fidelity issues from 70MHz and above.

The oscilloscopes also feature simultaneous zooming on live signals in horizontal and vertical directions for all-round visibility. Together with the large memory available, this allows extensive analysis and the capability to reveal previously hidden insights.

Another feature is a wide set of ranges created with high offset capability, allowing smaller signal anomalies further away from ground to be revealed. Together, the range and zoom capabilities will enable the user to view and analyse small signal details that may have been overlooked or undiscovered.

For RF engineers, in particular, the ability to calculate deep memory FFTs on low-noise, 12-bit data increases the options available for debugging and analysing high-speed signals.

The ERES high-resolution mode delivers even further noise reduction. In the SDS3000X HD, for example, up to four extra bits of resolution are available.

All models can measure over 50 parameters and support simultaneous mathematical operations across four channels. They also feature a formula editor enabling nested formulas.

All three oscilloscope series support mask test, bode plot, power analysis, search, and serial decode functionalities. There is also the option to add 16 digital channels for mixed-signal analysis. When used with Siglent's isolated signal generator SAG1021I or any of the company's arbitrary waveform generators, the oscilloscopes can perform a loop response test to supply the frequency response curve of the device under test to obtain the gain and phase of each frequency point. For detailed analysis of the Bode plot curve, there are data list, cursor measurement and automatic measurement functions.

The three new oscilloscopes have high-definition touch screens (7" or 10.1") and an intuitive user interface with multiple one-button operations on the front panel. They also offer advanced web control, network drive data capabilities and seamless remote access.
