Adding and editing trace labels
October 19, 2022
The SIGLENT SDS2000X Plus, SDS2000X HD, SDS5000X, and SDS6000A series of oscilloscopes feature trace labels that can be edited by the user. This can make it much easier to differentiate traces on the display as well as in saved images of the display for reporting, etc.. In this tip, we will show you how to … Continued
Bode using LAN
October 13, 2022
Many SIGLENT SDS oscilloscopes, including the SDS6000A series, can perform automated Bode plotting to provide frequency response for power supply stability, filters, and more. This integrated approach simplifies testing and delivers results much more quickly than building your own system, integrating separate instruments with software and an external controlling computer. In the examples above, we … Continued
Saving and Recalling a Bode II Setup
October 5, 2022
Many SIGLENT oscilloscopes, including the SDS1104/1204X-E, SDS2000X-E, SDS2000X Plus, SDS2000X HD, SDS5000X, and SDS6000A series feature the built-in Bode II automated Bode plotting feature. When coupled with a SIGLENT SDG series generator or SAG external AWG, the scope/generator combo can be used to produce frequency response curves on many circuit elements and components as well as … Continued

SDS6000A Typical Noise Floor
June 24, 2022
Here are the typically expected noise floor numbers for the SDS6000A Oscilloscope: Note: Uses StdDev measurement @ 5 GSa/s, 10 MPts/ch
Common Fuse Information
February 24, 2022
Fuses are a common circuit element and are key to protecting from overvoltage and overcurrent situations that can damage important circuits. Fuse markings are typically stamped symbols located on the metal cap of the fuse. Here is a helpful guide to common fuse markings used with instrumentation, taking a common fuse type as an example: … Continued
What is the largest datalogging file I can store with the XE series oscilloscopes?
December 13, 2021
The SIGLENT SDS1104X-E and SDS1204X-E oscilloscopes have a data-logging feature that was added in firmware revision 6.1.37R2 and OS Rev 2 As of now, the maximum file storage size for a data logging event is 2 GB and the measurement logger is 14 Mpts. The USB stick must be as big, or bigger than 2 … Continued
Cross-reference of Oscilloscope Serial Decoding equivalents to Tektronix MDO3 packages
December 3, 2021
Here is a cross-reference of SIGLENT oscilloscope serial decoding features compared to the Tektronics MDO3 options: Tek MDO3MSO: 16 channel logic analyzer function. The SIGLENT equivalent is optional license SDSxxxx-16LA, where xxxx represents the model (SDS1000X-E, SDS2000X-E, SDS2000X Plus, SDS5000X, or SDS6000A series of oscilloscopes) and hardware (SPL2016 for SDS2000X Plus, SDS5000X, and SDS6000A series/SLA1016 … Continued
