Questions and answers:
- What distinguishes the SIGLENT SDS5000X HD and SDS5000L oscilloscopes in terms of performance? Both series offer as many as eight channels, bandwidths of 350 MHz to 1 GHz, 12-bit A/D converters, and 5-gigasample-per-second sample rates, with SPO technology enabling capture speeds as fast as 160,000 waveforms per second.
- What is the primary difference between the SDS5000X HD and the SDS5000L oscilloscopes? The SDS5000X HD includes a 12.1-inch touchscreen and optional digital channels, while the SDS5000L is a rackmount version, without a display, for high-density synchronized data acquisition.
- What advanced features support data analysis and automation in these oscilloscopes? Features include history waveform recording, mask tests, bode plots, power analysis, serial trigger decoding, SCPI command control, and remote web access over LAN.
FAIRPORT, N.Y. – Electronics distributor Saelig Co. Inc. in Fairport, N.Y. is offering the SDS5000X HD and SDS5000L series of high-resolution digital storage oscilloscopes from SIGLENT Technologies America Inc. in Solon, Ohio, for fast data acquisition to speed automated test applications.
The Siglent SDS5000X HD and SDS5000L oscilloscopes are available in 4, 6, and 8 channels, bandwidths of 350 MHz, 500 MHz, and 1 GHz, and all have 12-bit A/D converters with a sample rate as fast as 5 gigasamples per second, and a maximum record length of 2.5 gigapoints per channel.
The test and measurement instruments use Siglent SPO technology with a maximum waveform capture rate as fast as 160,000 waveforms per second, 256-level intensity grading display function, plus a color temperature display mode. There are nine SDS5000X HD models in 350 MHz, 500 MHz, and 1 GHz bandwidth capabilities and 4, 6, or 8 analog input channels.
There are three SDS5000L models: 350 MHz, 500 MHz, and 1 GHz, all with 8 analog channels. Software options for both series include power analysis, and serial trigger decoders. They support remote web control over LAN, and offer SCPI command set over the standard 1000M LAN connection for fast data acquisition.
Digital trigger system
These digital storage oscilloscopes employ a digital trigger system that offers high sensitivity and low jitter. Tools such as history waveform recording, search and navigate functions, mask test, bode plot, power analysis help capture, store, and analyze extended waveform records.
The SDS5000X HD features a 12.1-inch capacitive touch screen that supports multi-touch gestures, with a UI design to improve efficiency. Sixteen digital channels are options for digital debugging.
The SDS5000L is the low-profile rackmount version of this design, with no display or digital channels. Combining a 64-channel synchronization distributor (SYN64) helps organize several SDS5000L modules as a high-speed data acquisition system with as many as 512 channels. It also can work as a stand-alone oscilloscope when connected to an external display and a mouse.
