Siglent oscilloscope SDS1102X review
https://www.electronics-lab.com/review-siglent-oscilloscope-sds1102x/
Harry Baggen @ elektormagazine.com reviews the Siglent SDS1102X oscilloscope. Before we take a look at the instrument itself, I would like to say something about the characteristics of an oscilloscope for ‘small users’. What do you really need for your daily tasks? Even the cheapest models from Chinese manufacturers already have a sample rate of […]
Review: Siglent SDS 2304X oscilloscope
https://www.electronics-lab.com/review-siglent-sds-2304x-oscilloscope/
Jack Ganssle @ embedded.com reviews the Siglent SDS 2304X oscilloscope. I’ve had a Siglent SDS1102CML two channel 100 MHz bench scope here for the last two years. I demand a lot from my test equipment so had low expectations when it arrived. After all, how good can a $359 unit be? Turns out, quite a […]
Inside the SDS7012 Oscilloscope: Mainboard Analysis
https://www.electronics-lab.com/inside-sds7012-oscilloscope-mainboard-analysis/
Christer Weinigel has been tinkering with an OWON SDS7012 o’scope, including deciphering the device’s OS and even disassembling the bootloader. Now it’s time to dive in and examine the mainboard, physically, with many of the board’s sub-circuits explained. via adafruit.com Except for soldering some wires to the JTAG and serial port on the scope, most […]
Oscilloscope Vertical Position and Offset explained
https://www.electronics-lab.com/oscilloscope-vertical-position-offset-explained/
This video describes the function of the vertical position and vertical offset controls of a modern digital oscilloscope. It shows how using the offset control can provide valuable visibility of the DC bias and small signal waveform simultaneously, which can be very valuable in many applications.

Aeroscope – a wireless oscilloscope
https://www.electronics-lab.com/former-agilent-engineers-developing-wireless-oscilloscope/
A pair of former engineers from Agilent Technologies are working on a wireless oscilloscope that will connect to an iOS device for its user interface: The Aeroscope will be a one-channel device where the electronics are in a “pen” form factor. An SMA connector will let you attach mini-grabbers or other probe tips. Analog bandwidth […]
Oscilloscope tips and tricks
https://www.electronics-lab.com/oscilloscope-tips-tricks/
Arthur Pini has compiled a list of tips and tricks for use on digital oscilloscopes. The article is separated on 3 parts. The first is “10 Tricks that extend oscilloscope usefulness” the second is “10 More tricks to extend oscilloscope usefulness” and the third on the link below. Modern digital oscilloscopes have a great many […]
High-performance scope probes top out at 20 GHz
https://www.electronics-lab.com/high-performance-scope-probes-top-out-at-20-ghz/
Tektronix, Inc., the world’s leading manufacturer of oscilloscopes, introduced the P7700 series of TriMode™ probes for use with Tektronix performance oscilloscopes. Offering up to 20 GHz bandwidth, the new probes ease the challenges designers face when debugging circuits found in the latest mobile and enterprise designs by minimizing probe loading, improving access to smaller, more-densely […]
An almost-GHz active differential oscilloscope probe
https://www.electronics-lab.com/an-almost-ghz-active-differential-oscilloscope-probe/
Christer wanted to see how a 500MHz differential clock was behaving so he decided to build an active probe. To simulate the circuit he used TINA spice software and documented the process in three parts on his website. What I really wanted was an active differential probe which should be able to look at […]
Eye Diagram Basics: Reading and applying eye diagrams
https://www.electronics-lab.com/eye-diagram-basics-reading-and-applying-eye-diagrams/
Deepak Behera, Sumit Varshney, Sunaina Srivastava, and Swapnil Tiwari discuss about using an oscilloscope to create eye diagrams and quickly evaluate system performance and gain. Accelerating data rates, greater design complexity, standards requirements, and shorter cycle times put greater demand on design engineers to debug complex signal integrity issues as early as possible. Because today’s serial […]
