Bode plot memory depths
July 19, 2021
Here is a table showing the various memory depths used in the Bode Plot feature Product series Max memory depth SDS1xx4X-E 140k SDS2000X-E 140k SDS2000X Plus 100k SDS5000X 125k
Why is the Bode Plot start frequency minimum 10 Hz?
June 23, 2021
The minimum start frequency is set to 10 Hz because of the extended acquisition time required to collect enough data to ensure a useful level of measurement accuracy. If the low limit was 1 Hz, the scope would need to test 10 cycles (to maintain specified accuracy), so the time base will be 10 s/div. … Continued
Are SIGLENT products certified by a Nationally Recognized Test Laboratories (NRTL)?
May 7, 2021
Per OSHA, a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL) is an independent third-part laboratory recognized by the United States Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to test and certify products to applicable product safety standards. Examples of NRTLs include UL, CSA, and TUV. Many SIGLENT products are TUV certified, which also covers UL and CSA requirements. To … Continued
SAG1021/SAG1021I output current limit
April 6, 2021
30 mA is the theoretical maximum for SAG1021/SAG1021I. I = V/R = 1.5V(max) / 50 Ohm = 30 mA

How do I directly control an instrument using LAN?
February 16, 2021
For convenience, we recommend connecting your instrument to your LAN using a router that can configure DHCP directly and use an internet switch to connect the LAN to the instruments you wish to control. In some cases, you may wish to directly connect your computer to an instrument LAN port without a LAN available. This … Continued
Oscilloscope Binary Data format
February 4, 2021
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
Maximum Source Frequency for Bode Plotting with an SDS1104X-E, SDS1204X-E, SDS2000X-E Series, SDS2000X Plus Series, or SDS5000X Series Oscilloscope
December 15, 2020
Due to channel skew, Bode plotting is limited to 120 MHz for the following products: SDS1104X-E SDS1204X-E SDS2000X-E Series SDS2000X Plus Series SDS5000X Series
WiFi option SSID and Password requirements
May 15, 2020
The WiFi option for the XE oscilloscopes requires log in for the network SSID and Password. The scope does not support SSIDs or Passwords that contain Spaces or Special Characters (!, @, #, etc..) The SSID and Password for your network must not contain spaces or special characters in order to connect to the XE via the … Continued
WiFi performance is slow or does not connect well to my network
November 19, 2019
Some high-performance routers with extended range like the Orbi RBR50 Mesh Network router do not work well with the SIGLENT TL_W725N wireless adapter. The WiFi adapter update rate is also not as fast as a directly wired LAN connection. A solution is to use an Ethernet to WiFi Wireless Adapter like the IOGEAR Ethernet-2-WiFi Universal … Continued
