Oscilloscope

From CoMakingSpace Wiki

Oscilloscopes display voltage signals as they vary over time. It is possible to determine the wave-form, frequency, amplitude and noise level of the input signals. Multiple inputs allow for measuring phase differences between signals. Thus, oscilloscopes are very useful to debug electronic circuits.

The Siglent SDS814X HD is a four-channel digital storage oscilloscope featuring 12-bit vertical resolution and a 100 MHz bandwidth, designed for electronics development, debugging, and education.

Thanks to its high resolution, the SDS800X HD series provides improved signal fidelity compared to traditional 8-bit oscilloscopes, making it especially suitable for low-noise and mixed-signal measurements.


Key Features

  • 4 analog input channels
  • 12-bit ADC resolution
  • 100 MHz bandwidth
  • High-resolution capacitive touch display
  • Serial bus decoding and triggering
  • SCPI remote control support

Serial Bus Decoding

The oscilloscope supports decoding and triggering for common serial protocols:

  • I²C
  • SPI
  • UART
  • CAN
  • LIN

This allows direct analysis of digital communication signals without additional tools.


Controls & Connectivity

  • capacitive touch screen for intuitive operation
  • USB keyboard and mouse support
  • two USB-A ports for input devices and storage media
  • RJ45 Ethernet port for network connectivity
  • remote control via web browser

Automation & Programming

The SDS814X HD is fully programmable using SCPI commands.

This enables automated measurements and data acquisition, for example using Python.

A detailed programming guide is available from Siglent.


Usage Notes

  • suitable for analog and digital signal analysis
  • ideal for embedded systems, microcontroller projects, and bus debugging
  • not intended for high-frequency RF measurements beyond its bandwidth
