SIGLENT SDS1004X-E Series Additional Manual

Adding Digital Input/MSO Capability to the SDS1004X-E
Series of Oscilloscopes
February 26, 2018
Mixed Signal Oscilloscopes (MSO's for short) feature the ability to show both analog and digital signals
using the same timebase. In this way, you can more accurately determine the timing of digital and analog
events.
The SIGLENT 4 channel SDS1004X-E series of oscilloscopes (currently the 100 MHz SDS1104X-E and 200
MHz SDS1204X-E models) can be upgraded to include the ability to measure up to 16 digital/logic
channels. This allows the user to conveniently view up to 4 analog (8-bit resolution) and 16 digital (1-bit
resolution) channels on the same timebase which can quickly correlate analog and digital events.
To add MSO capability to your SDS1004X-E:
1. Update the firmware of the oscilloscope to
