Key Features
12-bit ADC · High-resolution Acquisition
12-bit ADC with up to 16-bit ERES provides clearer waveform detail for fast edges, serial buses, power rails and mixed-signal measurements.
20 GSa/s on All Channels — AP Models
A models sample at 20 GSa/s in 2-channel mode and 10 GSa/s with 3–4 channels. AP models keep 20 GSa/s on all four channels.
Deep Memory — Up to 2 Gpts/ch
A models provide 500 Mpts/ch standard and 1 Gpts/ch optional. AP models provide 1 Gpts/ch standard, with 2 Gpts/ch optional on one channel and reduced depth as more channels are used.
Spectrum Analyzer / RTSA-DDC-SigVSA — A Models Option
Optional Spectrum Analyzer mode for SDS7000A A models adds RTSA, DDC and SigVSA analysis. Confirm model and option compatibility before quotation.
USB 2.0 and Ethernet Compliance Options
USB 2.0, Ethernet, Multi-Gigabit Ethernet and Automotive Ethernet compliance workflows require the relevant software options and test fixtures.
Eye Diagram · Jitter Decomposition
Hardware eye diagrams, TIE-based jitter decomposition and mask tests support LVDS, MIPI DPHY and other high-speed signal checks.
Serial Bus Trigger and Decode
Trigger/decode options include I²C, SPI, UART, CAN/CAN FD/CAN XL, LIN, FlexRay, I²S, MIL-STD-1553B, SENT, Manchester, ARINC429 and USB 2.0.
15.6-inch HD Touch Display · Bode Plot · 50 MHz AWG Option
15.6-inch 1920×1080 touch display with 256-level intensity grading. Bode plots can use the 50 MHz AWG option, isolated USB AWG module or stand-alone SDG generator.
