Saelig Debuts New 30MHz Oscilloscope

By DE Editors

Saelig announced the SDS5032E, its new low-cost two-channel oscilloscope which includes external and video-capable triggering, auto-measurements, auto-scaling, a large 8-inch high-resolution full color LCD display, XY mode, auto-set, averaging, math functions, USB output, waveform storage, pass/fail output, and a three-year warranty. FFT functionality is included for frequency spectrum display, in addition to a built-in six-digit frequency meter, which can measure frequencies from 2Hz to 30MHz.

The Autoscale feature can automatically adjust the vertical gain, or the horizontal time base, or both together. According to the company, it functions like AutoSet, but instead of being a one-time function, it's active until turned off, allowing "hands-free" measurements. The FFT function shows an instant frequency spectrum of the signal under test, while the Math function shows the results of the addition, multiplication, division and subtraction operations between Channel 1 and Channel 2, and the FFT operation of Channel 1 or Channel 2.

The SDS5032E can automatically measure and display frequency and peak-peak/rms/mean values, but cursors can also be moved to make individual readings. A built-in self-calibration facility improves measurement accuracy. Video monitoring is also possible with triggering on NTSC/PAL/SECAM line or field waveforms.

Sensitivity range is 5mV/div to 5V/div, with horizontal display of 4ns/di
