Siglent SDS2204X Plus Oscilloscope

50 MHz waveform generator

The built-in waveform generator can output waveforms with a frequency of up to 50 MHz and an amplitude of ±3 V. Six basic waveforms are supported along with several types of predefined waveforms and user-defined arbitrary waveforms.

History mode

The history function records up to 90,000 triggered waveforms (frames). This is done continuously in the background so that the history waveforms can be replayed at any time to find and analyze past events. Serial decode, zoom and cursor measurements can be used.

Recording length of up to 200 Mpts/ch

Using a hardware-based zoom technique and a recording length of up to 200 Mpts, users can select a slower time base without affecting the sampling rate and then quickly zoom in to focus on the area of interest.

Search and navigate

The SDS2000X Plus oscilloscope can find events within a recording and history based on user-defined trigger conditions. Navigate scrolls through events flagged by the search, plays back history images, or continuously shifts the delay position for long recordings (useful in zoom view).

Up to 120,000 wfm/s signal update rate

With a signal update rate of up to 120,000 wfm/s, the oscilloscope can easily capture low probability events. In sequence mode, the signal acquisition rate can reach 500,000 wfm/s

Sequence mode

The segmented memory collection stores the waveform in multiple memory segments (up to 90,000) and each segment stores a triggered waveform along with the dead time information. The interval between segments can be as small as 2 µs. All segments can be played back at any frame rate using the history function.

Bode Plot

The SDS2000X Plus can control the built-in waveform generator or any stand-alone SIGLENT SDG device to scan the amplitude and phase response versus frequency of passive or active circuits. The data is displayed as a Bode plot. This can replace expensive network analyzers in less demanding applications.

Hardware based high speed mask test function

The SDS2000X Plus uses a hardware-based mask test function that performs up to 80,000 pass/fail decisions per second. It is easy to create custom test templates that can be used to continuously compare signal history. The failed frames can be automatically saved as history frames or screenshots.

Front-end performance

500 MHz bandwidth (at 2 GSa/s sampling rate with 500 MHz bandwidth option).

Digital channels / MSO

Four analog channels plus 16 digital channels allow acquisition and triggering of mixed waveforms with one instrument.

Decoding of the serial bus

In addition to the decoder tracks assigned to the waveform, bus protocol information can be displayed in tabular form. I 2 C, SPI, UART, CAN, LIN, CAN FD, FlexRay, I 2 S and MIL-STD-1553B are supported.

Performance analysis 

The Power Analysis option provides a full range of power measurements and analysis, improving measurement efficiency in switching power supplies and power device designs.

Release range

The trigger zone is available for extended triggering.

High connectivity

2 x USB host, 1 x USB device (USBTMC)

1 x LAN (VXI-11/Telnet/Socket)

1 x auxiliary output (Pass/Fail and Trigger Out)

Trigger functions

Edge, Slope, Pulse, Video, Windows, Runt, Interval, Dropout, Pattern and Serial Trigger.

10-bit mode

The 10-bit mode in combination with Zoom shows you more details and less noise in the waveform.

Measurements for all relevant parameters and parameter statistics

Parameter measurements include 4 categories: horizontal, vertical, miscellaneous, and channel delay, providing a total of over 50 different types of measurements. Measurements can be made within a specified gate period. Measurements in mathematical, reference and history frames are supported.Statistics shows the current value, maximum value, minimum value, standard deviation and mean value of up to 12 parameters simultaneously. A histogram is available to show the probability distribution of a parameter. In addition, horizontal measurements can handle up to 1000 signal edges within a single frame.

Advanced mathematical function

Two math tracks, support for FFT, +, -, x, ÷, d/dt, ∫dt, √, average, ERES and formula editor.Hardware accelerated FFT up to 2 Mpts. This provides high frequency resolution with fast frame rate. The FFT function also supports a variety of windowing functions so it can be adapted to different spectrum measurement requirements. Three modes (Normal, Average and Max hold) can meet different power spectrum observation requirements. Automatic peak detection and markers are supported.
