Oscilloscope CAN XL Protocol Introduction and Decoding Test

November 24, 2025

1 Introduction As data communication in automotive and industrial applications grows, the traditional CAN protocol can no longer meet the higher data rate requirements. The traditional CAN protocol has limitations in data rate and bus load capacity, making it difficult to meet high-bandwidth and high-real-time application scenarios. To address this,  CAN XL (Controller Area Network … Continued

Wake on LAN function on SIGLENT oscilloscopes

July 16, 2025

Introduction of Wake on LAN Wake-on-LAN (WoL) is an Ethernet standard that allows a computer to be turned on or awakened from sleep mode by a network message, so called magic packet. The test instruments like oscilloscopes typically consume 40W to 240W power in normal work mode. But in standby mode, it’s merely few Watts. … Continued

User Guide for Three-Phase Electricity Measurement and Analysis Functions

June 19, 2025

Introduction With the continuous development of modern power system, the stability and reliability of three-phase power system are very important to ensure the quality of power supply. In order to meet this demand, Siglent has introduced the three-phase electricity measurement and analysis software of SDS5000X HD series oscilloscopes. Through the deep integration of hardware innovation … Continued

How to Extract Data from the Binary File of Siglent Oscilloscope

June 12, 2024

Data can be formatted in many different ways. Binary data formatting often provides the smallest payload size and therefore transfers via USB/LAN more quickly. Unfortunately, binary is very difficult to interpret by humans. So, binary data is often reformatted to other types (ASCII, etc..)/ Here is a link to the binary data format for many … Continued

Network file Sharing on SIGLENT Performance Oscilloscopes

April 8, 2024

INTRODUCTION There are a number of applications for sharing data and files between instruments and computers for data archival and analysis. SIGLENT’s performance oscilloscopes provide a set of tools for connecting data locations over the network. These instruments provide the ability to either share their local files (SERVER) or to access remote drives (CLIENT) via … Continued

Baltic Labs: Generate a stereo-FM multiplex waveform with Python and AWG

October 20, 2022

Sebastian @ Baltic Labs had a recent project that required a stereo-FM multiplex (MPX) signal containing two different tones in the left and right stereo audio channels. This article shows how to generate such an MPX signal for Siglent SDG-series arbitrary waveform generators with Python and PyVISA. Generate a stereo-FM multiplex waveform with Python and … Continued

Jitter spectrum measurements with a digital oscilloscope

February 21, 2022

Clockworks Signal Processing released an application note that measures jitter using a SIGLENT XE series of oscilloscopes. The basic idea is simple enough – measure the clock edges and see if they are all exactly evenly spaced or if they change (jitter) over time. A non-uniform clock fed to an ADC or DAC will produce … Continued
