Overview

The Siglent SDS6104L is a 1 GHz, 4-channel digital oscilloscope from the SDS6000L Series — part of Siglent's Super Phosphor Oscilloscope family. In summary, this is a 8-bit-resolution, 5 GSa/s (10 GSa/s ESR)-sample-rate instrument intended for general benchtop signal capture, mixed-signal debug, serial-bus decoding, and power-supply characterization.

What is the SDS6104L used for?

The SDS6104L 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), Zone Trigger. Serial: I2C, SPI, UART, CAN, LIN, CAN FD, CAN XL, FlexRay, I2S, MIL-STD-1553B, SENT, ARINC429, Manchester.

Factual grounding — measurement and analysis

Data analysis functions include: Search, Navigate, Digital Voltmeter, Counter, Waveform Histogram, Power Analysis, Eye/Jitter Analysis. Acquisition and measurement: Sequence up to 80,000 segments; History up to 80,000 frames; 50+ auto measurements with histogram, track, trend, gating, and Math/History/Memory/Ref. 8 Math traces (8 Mpts FFT, +, −, ×, ÷, ∫, d/dt, √) plus formula editor. The SDS6104L delivers 5 GSa/s (10 GSa/s ESR) real-time sampling and 500 Mpts (total) of record length — sufficient to capture long-duration events while preserving timebase resolution for zoom inspection.

Industry positioning

The SDS6000L answers a problem the benchtop SDS6000A cannot — high channel density in a rack. Two 8-channel SDS6208L units in a 19" rack deliver 16 simultaneous 2 GHz channels with timing alignment; a four-unit cluster reaches 32. For multi-DUT production test and PHY characterization where channel count drives the architecture.

Accessories Supplied

• Low-profile rack oscilloscope main unit
• AC power cord (region-appropriate)
• USB cable (USB-TMC compliant)
• Quick Start guide; Certificate of calibration
• Note: passive probes not included by default with rack-form units — confirm probe configuration at time of order

Product Core & Specifications

The SDS6104L acquisition and analysis specifications are listed below. Where the SDS6000L 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.
