USB Connectivity Checklist
February 28, 2019
The Universal Serial Bus (USB) is very popular and has added a tremendous level of convenience and flexibility to computer and peripheral controls, including test and measurement instrumentation. As with all technology, it isn’t always sunshine and blue skies. Here are some common troubleshooting steps for USB connection issues: – Is the instrument plugged in … Continued
Oscilloscope Specifications: What does “div” mean in the specifications?
February 27, 2019
The term “div” for most SIGLENT specifications is equal to the Vertical Scale value (Commonly shown in units of Volts/div). Take the specification for the DC Gain Accuracy of a SIGLENT SDS1052DL+ For ranges ≤ 100 mV/div, the DC Gain Accuracy is given as ± [3% × (|reading|+|offset|) +1% × |offset| +0.2 * div+2 mV] If: Reading = 0.5 … Continued

Measurement Data Depth SDS2000X vs. SDS1/2 X-E
December 18, 2018
One of the more powerful features of digital oscilloscopes is the automatic measurement function. Most modern scopes allow you to measure 20 or 30 separate waveform parameters including rise/fall time, phase difference, peak-to-peak voltage, and more. Some functions can actually measure large data sets to provide a “running average” of the measurement over a long … Continued

Waveform Capture and Regeneration using EasyWave Software and a SIGLENT oscilloscope with the AWG option
December 27, 2017
Some SIGLENT oscilloscopes feature an Arbitrary Waveform Generator (AWG) option. This feature allows you to source basic waveforms up-to 25 MHz outputs up to 6 Vpp (-3 to +3 V max in High Z output impedance). In this application note, we are going to show the steps involved in capturing a waveform on a SIGLENT … Continued
How to Capture a Runt Pulse with a SIGLENT SDS Oscilloscope
December 27, 2017
Capturing a Runt Pulse The new Super Phosphor Oscilloscope (SPO) technology supports deep memory, a fast waveform refresh rate and a 256 grey scale and color temperature waveform display. The intelligent Pass / Fail function is widely used in industrial electronic detection. The technology also includes powerful intelligent triggering (window, interval, timeout, pattern, Runt). Here … Continued
Adjusting measurement font size with the SDS2000X series
December 22, 2017
You can increase the font size used for the measurement functions of the SDS2000X series. To activate this function: – Press Utility > Do Self Cal (Page 1/3). This will bring up the Self Cal warning: – From the warning page, press Cursors 1 time > Measure 1 time > Display/Persist two times > Measure 1 … Continued
