Page 62: Overview
SDS1000X-E User Manual Overview To understand the oscilloscope's sampling and acquisition modes, it is helpful to understand sampling theory, sample rate and oscilloscope bandwidth and sample rate. Sampling Theory The Nyquist sampling theorem states that for a limited bandwidth (band- limited) signal with maximum frequency f , the equally spaced sampling frequency f must be greater...
Page 63: Bandwidth And Sample Rate
SDS1000X-E User Manual 3. Waveform Leakage: when the sample rate is too low, the waveform rebuilt from the sample data does not reflect all the actual signal information. Pulse disappeared Bandwidth and Sample Rate An oscilloscope's bandwidth is typically described as the lowest frequency at which input signal sine waves are attenuated by 3 dB (- 30% amplitude error).
Page 64: Memory Depth
SDS1000X-E User Manual However, digital signals have frequency components above the fundamental frequency (square waves are made up of sine waves at the fundamental frequency and an infinite number of odd harmonics), and typically, for 500 MHz bandwidths and below, oscilloscopes have a Gaussian frequency response.
Page 65: Sampling Mode
SDS1000X-E User Manual oscilloscope provides up to 14 Mpts memory depth. Press the Acquire button on the front panel; press the Mem Depth softkey and then turn the Universal Knob to select the desired value and push down the knob to confirm.

Page 68: Acquisition Mode
SDS1000X-E User Manual Acquisition Mode The acquisition mode is used to control how to generate waveform points from sample points. The oscilloscope provides the following acquisition mode: Normal, Peak Detect, Average and Eres. 1. Press the Acquire button on the front panel to enter the ACQUIRE function menu; 2.
Page 69: Peak Detect
SDS1000X-E User Manual Peak Detect In this mode, the oscilloscope acquires the maximum and minimum values of the signal within the sample interval to get the envelope of the signal or the narrow pulse of the signal that might be lost. In this mode, signal confusion can be prevented but the noise displayed would be larger.
Page 70: Average
SDS1000X-E User Manual Figure 21 Pulse With 0.1% Duty, Peak Detect Mode Average In this mode, the oscilloscope averages the waveforms from multiple samples to reduce the random noise of the input signal and improve the vertical resolution. The greater the number of averages is, the lower the noise will be and the higher the vertical resolution will be but the slower the response of the displayed waveform to the waveform changes will The available range of averages is from 4 to 1024 and the default is 16.
Page 71: Eres
SDS1000X-E User Manual Figure 22 With Random Noise, Normal Mode Figure 23 With Random Noise, Average Mode Eres This mode uses a kind of ultra-sample technique to average the neighboring points of the sample waveform to reduce the random noise on the input signal and generate much WWW.SIGLENT.COM...

Page 73: Horizontal Format
SDS1000X-E User Manual Horizontal Format Press the Acquire button on the front panel; then press the XY soft key to set the XY(On) or YT(Off) mode. The default setup is YT. It is the normal viewing mode for the oscilloscope. In the Normal time mode, signal events occurring before the trigger are plotted to the left of the trigger point and signal events after the trigger plotted to the right of the trigger point.
Page 74 SDS1000X-E User Manual obtained should be within quadrant I and IV, namely within (0 to π/2) or (3π/2 to 2π). If the principal axis of the ellipse is within quadrant II and IV, the phase deviation angle obtained should be within quadrant II and III, namely within (π/2 to π) or (π to 3π/2). X-Y function can be used to measure the phase deviation occurred when the signal under test passes through a circuit network.
Page 75: Sequence Mode
SDS1000X-E User Manual Sequence Mode Sequence is also a kind of acquisition mode, which does not display waveform during sampling process. It improves the waveform capture rate, and the maximal capture rate is 400,000 wfs/s. So it can capture the small probability event effectively. The oscilloscope runs and fills a memory segment for each trigger event.

Page 77: Trigger
SDS1000X-E User Manual Trigger For trigger, you set certain trigger condition according to the requirement and when a waveform in the waveform stream meets this condition, the oscilloscope captures this waveform as well as the neighboring part and displays them on the screen. For digital oscilloscope, it displays waveform continuously no matter whether it is stably triggered, but only stable trigger can ensures stable display.

SDS1000X-E User Manual Trigger Mode The oscilloscope’s trigger mode includes auto, normal and single. Trigger mode affects the way in which the oscilloscope searches for the trigger After the oscilloscope starts running, the oscilloscope operates by first filling the pre-trigger buffer. It starts searching for a trigger after the pre-trigger buffer is filled and continues to flow data through this buffer while it searches for the trigger.

Page 84: Trigger Holdoff
SDS1000X-E User Manual Trigger Holdoff Trigger holdoff can be used to stably trigger the complex waveforms (such as pulse series). Holdoff time is the amount of time that the oscilloscope waits before re-arming the trigger circuitry. The oscilloscope will not trigger until the holdoff time expires. Use the holdoff to trigger on repetitive waveforms that have multiple edges (or other events) between waveform repetitions.
Page 85: Noise Rejection
SDS1000X-E User Manual Noise Rejection Noise Reject adds additional hysteresis to the trigger circuitry. By increasing the trigger hysteresis band, you reduce the possibility of triggering on noise. However, this also decreases the trigger sensitivity so that a slightly larger signal is required to trigger the oscilloscope.
Page 86 SDS1000X-E User Manual Figure 27 Turn on the Noise Reject If the signal you are probing is noisy, you can set up the oscilloscope to reduce the noise in the trigger path and on the displayed waveform. First, stabilize the displayed waveform by removing the noise from the trigger path.

Page 89: Slope Trigger
SDS1000X-E User Manual Slope Trigger The slope trigger looks for a rising or falling transition from one level to another level in greater than or less than a certain amount of time. In the oscilloscope, positive slope time is defined as the time difference between the two crossing points of trigger level line A and B with the positive edge as shown in the figure below.
