Phosphor technology enhances 200MHz digital oscilloscope

The SDS1202X-E has a waveform record memory of up to 14Mpoints, and a 256-level colour and intensity grading and colour temperature display.

Together, these technologies have been collectively dubbed by the manufacturer as “SPO” (Super Phosphor Oscilloscope) technology.

The low-noise design allows measurements of very small signals, and the scope supports 500uV/div to 10V/div voltage settings, with most of the common adjustments quickly accessible with single-button front-panel control.

A hardware co-processor delivers measurements quickly and accurately, facilitating an array of advanced measurement and math capabilities (FFT, integral, differential, square root) with serial decoding (I2C, SPI, UART, RS232, CAN, LIN) included as standard.  

The 1 million-point FFT math function gives the SDS1000X-E improved high frequency resolution when observing signal spectra compared to similar products and the History function can record up to 80,000 frames of waveforms, easily accessible from the control panel.

An innovative digital trigger system with high sensitivity and low jitter, produces stable waveform displays.  Multiple powerful triggering modes are provided, including serial decode triggering.

Thirty-eight automatic measurements and statistical functions are also included to support electronics testing and a high-speed Pass/Fail capability.

Also included are a variety of useful interfaces: USB Host, USB Device, LAN (VXI-11, LXI-C), Ext Trig, Pass/Fail, Trig Out, and the capability of accepting SCPI remote control commands.
