The SAS7000A oscilloscopes offer 12-bit vertical resolution that not only enables the precise imaging of high-frequency signals, but also offers fine differentiation in vertical detection, said Telonic.
They have four analogue channels and 16 digital channels, with bandwidths of 3GHz and 4GHz. Maximum sampling rate is 20GSps which allows for the capture of fast signal transitions with high fidelity. Each sample uses the 12-bit ADC to limit the quantisation error for clear and accurate waveform measurement. The waveform capture rate can go up to onemillion wfm per second, which speeds up when capturing abnormal events.
Standard acquisition memory depth is 500Mp per channel which can be upgraded to 1Gpt per channel. The long storage depth enables signal sequences for up to 50 milliseconds at maximum sampling rate to be captured without any gaps. Noise floor is just 220μVrms at 4GHz.
The scope series is based on the upgraded X86 processor which improves the response speed, measurement, operation and analysis speed of the oscilloscope. This also allows for for future expansion, said Telonic.
The scopes support automatic parameter measurements for jitter and eye characterisation to evaluate communication signals and system quality by observing the influence of inter-symbol crosstalk, noise, and bandwidth. In addition to jitter analysis, the scope is easy to set up and automatic measurements accelerate debugging and simplify design testing, said the company.
To identify and resolve critical signal and transmission issues quickly, Siglent provides embedded compliance test solutions to evaluate systems against communications standards including USB 2.0, 100base-TX, 1000base-T, 100base-T1 and 1000base-T1. Users can configure the test items and the software controls the oscilloscope to automatically complete the test and provide signal test results (Pass/Fail) after comparison with the reference standards.
A 15.6-inch, HD touchscreen allows signals to be analysed simultaneously to reduce development times. Search and navigate and history tools are also included.
There is also an active differential probe kit providing up to 5GHz of bandwidth and low noise for detailed signal analysis. Its high input resistance and low input capacitance ensure that the load introduced by the measurement system is minimised. The SAP5000D active probe uses the SAPBus interface, making it suitable for oscilloscopes including Siglent’s SDS5000X, SDS6000A and SDS7000A series. The probes do not need an additional external power supply and are automatically recognised by the oscilloscope.
