General Features
General Features
SIGLENT‟s SDS2000X series Super Phosphor Oscilloscopes are available in
bandwidths of 70 MHz, 100 MHz, 200 MHz and 300 MHz, utilize a maximum
sample rate of 2 GSa/s and a maximum record length of 140 Mpts. The most
commonly used functions can be accessed with its user-friendly one-button
design.
The SDS2000X series employs a new generation of SPO technology. It
employs an innovative digital trigger system with high sensitivity and low jitter.
The maximum waveform capture rate is 140,000 wfm/s (normal mode) and up
to 500,000 wfm/s (sequence mode). It also employs not only the
more-common 256-level intensity grading display function but also a powerful
color temperature display mode. The SDS2000X‟s trigger system supports
multiple powerful triggering modes including serial bus triggering. History
waveform recording and sequence acquisition allow for extended waveform
records to be captured, stored, and analyzed. An impressive array of
measurement and math capabilities, options for a built-in 25 MHz arbitrary
waveform generator, 16 digital channels (MSO), as well as serial decoding are
also features of the SDS2000X.

Prepare Information
Before initiating performance verification or any adjustments, it is
recommended the user follow these procedures. The following topics are
discussed in this chapter.
How to perform functional checks
How to operate four standard interface tests
How to use self-calibration routine
How to recall factory Default settings
For more detailed information about oscilloscope operation, please refer to the
Quick Start Guide.
Functional checking
The functional checking details three types of checks used to determine if the
oscilloscope is operating properly.
Power-on Inspection
The normal operating voltage for the SDS2000X series digital oscilloscope is in
range of 100-240 VRMS ,50 Hz/ 60 Hz/ 440Hz. Connect the power cord to the
socket on the rear panel of the oscilloscope.

SIGLENT
SDS2000X Service Manual 7
Figure 1 Connect power cord
Note: To avoid electric shock, make sure that the instrument is
correctly grounded to the earth before connecting AC power.
Press the power-on button located at the lower left corner of the front panel
and note that several oscilloscope keys will be lighted for about 6 seconds
simultaneously, until the boot screen appears. The oscilloscope will then begin
to perform its power-on tests automatically, after which the DEFAULT SETUP
button can be pressed in order to recall the factory default settings.

Probe Compensation
It is necessary to compensate the probe at first use so as to properly match the
probe to the oscilloscope‟s input channel. Non-compensated or poorly
compensated probes may cause measurement inaccuracies or errors. The
probe compensation steps are as follows:
1. Set the attenuation switch on the probe to 10X.
Figure 2 Set the attenuation switch
2. Connect the alligator clip of the probe to the Ground Terminal on the front
panel, and then use the probe to connect CH1 BNC input connector to the
Compensation Signal Output Terminal.
3. Press AUTO Setup.
4.Observe waveform on the screen. The displaying should be a square
waveform as shown in the figure below:
Under Compensated Over
Compensated Correctly Compensated
5. If the waveform does not show as “compensated correctly”, use a
nonmetallic screwdriver to adjust the low-frequency compensation
adjustment hole on the probe until the waveform displays correctly.

Self Calibration
The self-calibration routine can quickly adjust the oscilloscope to perform at
the optimum state in order to achieve the maximum accuracy. Self-calibration
can be performed at any time, especially when a change in the ambient
temperature of 5℃or more has occurred. Make certain that the oscilloscope
has been warmed up or operated for more than 30 minutes before performing
the self-calibration.
Use the following steps to perform self calibration:
1. Disconnect all leads from all input channels.
2. Press the Utility button on the front panel, and then press the Do Self Cal
softkey. The oscilloscope will display the message box as shown below:
Figure2-3 Calibration Interface
3. Press the Single button on the front panel to perform the self calibration
program. During the calibration, most of the oscilloscope‟s keys are
disabled.
4. When the self calibration process is completed, the following message will
appear: “Press Run/Stop key to exit”. Press the Run/Stop button on the
front panel to exit the calibration interface.
Note: Under normal conditions the self-calibration procedure will take

approximately 20 seconds. If it does not complete within this period of time or it
stops on one of the calibration settings, then there may be a problem with the
instrument.

Interface Test
The SDS2000X series oscilloscope is designed with four standard interfaces:
USB Host, USB Device, LAN and Pass/Fail. Connecting to other instruments
via these interfaces enables the oscilloscope to achieve additional capabilities.
In order to ensure the oscilloscope is operating properly it is recommended
that the user first test the interfaces.
USB Host Test
To test whether the USB Host interface is operating correctly.
Tools:
●A U disk
Steps：
1. Insert a U disk (flash drive) into the USB Host interface on the front panel of
the oscilloscope.
2. A message prompt “USB Flash Drive Plug In!”,appears on the screen, and
an icon will be shown in the lower right corner of the screen which confirms
the U disk has been successfully recognized.
