The high-resolution oscilloscopes address signal fidelity, visualisation, and analysis with 12-bit ADCs, low noise, gain accuracy, and channel isolation, said the company. Bandwidths range from 70MHz to 4GHz, providing signal fidelity for a range of applications including power, EMI, frequency analysis, embedded design, and failure analysis.
The SDS800X HD (pictured) and SDS1000X HD are typically specified at just 70µVrms noise at 200MHz bandwidth. The lower ranges are specified at 1.5% DC gain accuracy and 0.5% accuracy for ranges ≥5 mV/div.
The SDS3000X HD series offers up to 60dB of channel-to-channel isolation to allow for analysis and resolution of signal fidelity issues from 70MHz and above.
Range and zoom capabilities allow the user to view and analyse small signal details which may have otherwise been overlooked or undiscovered, said Telonic. All models feature simultaneous zooming on live signals in both horizontal and vertical directions and a large memory for extensive analysis and the capability to reveal previously hidden insights. The scopes also have a broad set of ranges designed with high offset capability, enabling smaller signal anomalies further away from ground to be revealed.
They also have the ability to calculate deep memory FFTs on low noise, 12-bit data increases the options available for debugging and analysing high speed RF signals.
The ERES high-resolution mode provides further noise reduction. In the SDS3000X HD for example, the equivalent of up to four extra bits of resolution are available.
All models are equipped to measure more than 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. For mixed signal analysis, there is also the option to add 16 digital channels. When used with Siglent’s isolated signal generator SAG1021I, or any Siglent arbitrary waveform generator, the oscilloscopes can perform a loop response test to provide 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 scopes have high-definition touch screens (seven or 10.1”) and an intuitive user interface with multiple one-button operations on the front panel. They also feature advanced web control, network drive data capabilities and seamless remote access.
The SDS800X HD, SDS1000X HD and SDS3000X HD, join Siglent’s SDS2000X HD and SDS7000A series of high-resolution oscilloscopes ranging from 70 MHz to 4 GHz – also available from Telonic Instruments.
