Siglent SDS6000A Mixed-Signal Oscilloscope Series up to 2 GHz
Models Siglent SDS6054A, SDS6104A, SDS6204A
With the SDS6000A series, Siglent enters a new level of their oscilloscope technology. Immediately eye-catching is the large, high-resolution touchscreen display that makes everyday work really fun and reveals fine details. The 4-channel instruments offer bandwidths up to 500 MHz, 1 GHz, or 2 GHz. High-quality technical data is ensured by a fast, modern processor system and channels with individual A/D converters for sample rates per channel up to 5 G/s are possible (in ESR mode up to 10 GS/s). A high-quality input section forms the basis for precise measurements in research, development and debugging. The devices already offer many important additional functions as standard, but can be further expanded with options such as MSO/logic analysis, eye diagram and jitter analysis, Bode plot, etc.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Question: Why do I need an additional signal generator for the Bode Plot function and which one?
Answer: The Bode plot is a graphical representation of the transmission behavior of a system or its frequency response (named after Hendrik Wade Bode). In order to record the frequency response of a device under test, two devices are required: a signal source (here: signal generator) and a suitable measuring device (here: oscilloscope SDS6000A). The signal generator applies a test signal to the DUT that sweeps through the frequency range of interest. The oscilloscope measures the test signal at the input of the DUT and the output signal of the DUT, determines the frequency response from this and displays it graphically. The Siglent SDS6000A is a high-end oscilloscope that supports the display of Bode diagrams. The required test signal can be generated with an additional benchtop signal generator (for example, Siglent ▸SDG2000X). This is the recommended procedure. Alternatively, it is possible to use the isolated signal generator module SAG1021I. It is connected to the oscilloscope via USB. To control the module from the oscilloscope, the SDS6000Pro-FG option for the SDS6000A oscilloscope is also required.
Question: Partly similar technical data - when do I choose the Siglent SDS6000A and when the ▸SDS5000X?
Answer: The Siglent SDS6000A belongs to Siglent's premium series ("A"). It is therefore the device designed for the high-end professional sector with state-of-the-art technology. This becomes clearest in a direct comparison:
