SDS5104X Siglent Digital Oscilloscope New

Overview

The Siglent SDS5104X is a 1 GHz, 4-channel digital oscilloscope from the SDS5000X Series — part of Siglent's Super Phosphor Oscilloscope family. In summary, this is a 8-bit-resolution, 5 GSa/s-sample-rate instrument intended for general benchtop signal capture, mixed-signal debug, serial-bus decoding, and power-supply characterization.

What is the SDS5104X used for?

The SDS5104X is used to capture, view, measure, and analyze electrical waveforms up to 1 GHz. Typical applications: embedded system debug, power-rail characterization, motor and inverter waveform inspection, audio and sensor signal analysis, education, and serial-bus decoding for the protocols listed below.

What can it trigger on and decode?

Edge, Slope, Pulse, Window, Runt, Interval, Dropout, Pattern, Qualified, Nth edge, Setup/hold, Delay, Video (HDTV), Trigger Zone. Serial: I2C, SPI, UART, CAN, LIN, CAN FD, CAN XL, FlexRay, I2S, MIL-STD-1553B, SENT, Manchester, SpaceWire, ARINC429.

Factual grounding — measurement and analysis

Data analysis functions include: Search, Navigate, Digital Voltmeter, Counter, Waveform Histogram, Bode plot, Power Analysis. Acquisition and measurement: Sequence up to 100,000 segments; History up to 100,000 frames; 60+ auto measurements with histogram, trend, gating, and Math/History/Ref; 2 Mpts FFT plus formula editor. The SDS5104X delivers 5 GSa/s real-time sampling and 250 Mpts/ch, 500 Mpts total of record length — sufficient to capture long-duration events while preserving timebase resolution for zoom inspection.

Industry positioning

The SDS5000X (8-bit) sits below the SDS5000X HD as the cost-optimized 1 GHz workhorse: same UI, same trigger and decode breadth, deeper memory than the SDS3000X HD, but without the 12-bit acquisition path. The right call when bandwidth and memory drive the decision and 8-bit dynamic range is sufficient.

Accessories Supplied

• Oscilloscope main unit
• AC power cord (region-appropriate)
• Passive probes (one per analog channel; bandwidth-matched to the unit)
• USB cable (USB-TMC compliant)
• Quick Start guide / Programming guide reference card
• Certificate of calibration

Product Core & Specifications

The SDS5104X acquisition and analysis specifications are listed below. Where the SDS5000X Series family shares architecture across its members, model-specific differences are concentrated in bandwidth, channel count, and (for HD-series) ADC vertical resolution.

Calibration (Factory New)

All Factory New Siglent oscilloscopes ship with a factory calibration and certificate as standard. Optional upgrade calibration paths (NIST Traceable, NIST Traceable with Full Data, ISO/IEC 17025 Accredited) can be added at the time of order — please specify your required calibration tier on the order, and ValueTronics will route the unit through the appropriate calibration lab prior to shipment.
