Key Features
12-bit High Resolution
12-bit acquisition gives 4,096 amplitude levels for clearer ripple, sensor, power-rail and embedded signal measurements than conventional 8-bit scopes.
Up to 2 GSa/s Sampling
The platform supports up to 2 GSa/s real-time sampling across the SDS800X HD range, suitable for everyday embedded and lab debugging.
50/100 Mpts Long Memory
70 MHz and 100 MHz models provide 50 Mpts/ch, while 200 MHz models provide 100 Mpts/ch for longer captures and post-analysis.
Fast SPO Capture
SPO processing supports up to 120,000 wfm/s in normal mode and up to 500,000 wfm/s in Sequence mode for intermittent event capture.
Serial Trigger and Decode
Trigger and decode support common embedded and automotive buses including I²C, SPI, UART, CAN and LIN.
Bode Plot and Power Analysis
Bode plot, mask test, search/navigation and power analysis functions make the series useful for power and embedded validation workflows.
MSO and 25 MHz AWG Options
An optional 16-channel logic probe and optional 25 MHz waveform generator extend the scope for mixed-signal and stimulus-response tasks.
7-inch Touch Display and Remote Control
The 7-inch capacitive touch display supports 1024 × 600 resolution, LAN web control, SCPI, USB and external mouse/keyboard operation.
