Product description

From the Manufacturer

The Siglent SDS1052DL is a 50MHz, two-channel, digital storage oscilloscope with a hardware frequency counter, a 500MS/s per channel sample rate, a 32kpts per channel record length, and advanced triggers for electronics applications such as product design, assembly lines, repair and servicing, and electrical engineering education, among others. It has Edge, Pulse, Video, Slope, and Alternative triggers and its math functions include FFT (fast fourier transform). Additional specifications include a rise time of 7.0ns and vertical sensitivity to 2mV per division for capturing low-level signals. Operating menus and help display in Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, English, Arabic, French, German, Russian, Portuguese, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, and Italian languages. The oscilloscope has RS232 and USB ports for communication, and a 7" color TFT-LCD (480 x 234 pixels) with an internal 8 x 18 division grid for viewing waveforms. Specifications Bandwidth 50MHz Channels Two Display 7" color TFT-LCD Power 100 to 240V, 50W Weight 2.5kg Dimensions (H x W x D) 157 x 323 x 136 mm H is height, the vertical distance from the lowest to highest point; W is width, the horizontal distance from left to right; D is depth, the horizontal distance from front to back. Oscilloscopes are electrical testing devices used to verify the functionality of an electrical signal generator. Oscilloscopes measure an electrical signal over time, and display the waveform signals in a visual graph. The waveform shows the sweeps (or refresh) of voltage on a vertical (Y) axis, and can display time on a horizontal (X) axis. Details of a waveshape demonstrate the signal over time. Oscilloscopes can display in a digital or analog view. An analog oscilloscope has continuous waveform display, typically in a luminous phosphor. Some oscilloscopes can display more than one channel and type of measurement simultaneously. Some oscilloscopes can capture waveform signals to memory, and recall them. Oscilloscopes may provide real-time intensity grading. Some oscilloscopes have the ability to adjust frequency of display. A constant image will display if a signal is shown at a high frequency. Oscilloscopes can be powered with batteries or electricity, or may have a built-in generator. They may have Canadian Standards Association (CSA) or European Conformity (CE) certification, or a specific category (CAT) safety rating, such as CAT5e. Oscilloscopes are commonly used for testing, measuring, and inspecting in science, engineering, telecommunications, automotive, and industry applications. Siglent manufactures electronics test and measurement instruments for research and development, production-line testing, and electronic field service applications. The company, founded in 2002 and headquartered in Shenzhen, China, meets International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standards 9001:2000 and 14001:2004. What's in the Box?

Cheap and perfect! I don't do anything about 50 MHz, so this is perfect!

There was some problems with shipping (it was held in customs for inspection for a few weeks), but it eventually arrived. Works out of box. Simple to use: one screen testing and calibration, built in 1 kHz square wave for testing, and the probes are of decent quality too. I have one at home on my workbench, and one at work too!

It's my first oscilloscope and I didn't have a big budget so I chose it. It works very well and does all I need. The price was good for what it can do and for the general build quality. Also, it is light weight so it can be easily moved.

2.0 out of 5 stars A nice scope for the price (but zero after-sales support.)
Reviewed in Canada on February 8, 2016

(Edit March 25, 2016 - The review below, which originally gave this product 4 stars, points out that the scope arrived with one probe defective. I could have, at the time, returned it to Amazon for a refund, but I tried to work with the seller and the manufacturer to get this one small defect corrected without such drastic measures. I patiently waited while the seller celebrated Chinese New Year, and for several weeks after. Now that the return eligibility period for Amazon is expired, the manufacturer does not reply to e-mails. If you choose to buy this product, do so with the knowledge that you have NO warranty, NO after-sales support, and if there is the slightest hint of a problem, return it at once!)

This scope has many positive features. It worked well right out of the box and is an affordable piece of test equipment. I am a recently retired electronics technologist who has spent a lifetime working on $10,000+ oscilloscopes, so it is all too easy for me to be critical of some of the less than professional qualities of this item. Nevertheless, I do recognize that the manufacturer has tried hard to provide the best quality possible within a hobbyist's price range.

Positive features include;

- Calibrated and accurate out of the box.

- Intuitive control layout, not entirely different from tube based scopes I worked on 40 years ago. No re-inventing of the wheel.

- Quality buttons and knobs which give a solid, professional feel to scope operation.

- Well packed, and a generally attractive appearance.

- Smooth operation based on a well-designed hierarchy of menus, and a large, bright and clear display.

Less positive;

- One probe was defective on arrival. The supplier (Banff Sky) is working to get it replaced, but they are running up against the Chinese New Year holiday - the country is just about closed (as I know well from my inability to buy components on eBay.) Assuming that all goes well with the replacement once they are back from holiday, I will not consider this too serious a flaw, but it is true that the probes are a bit cheaper in design than the scope itself - I will likely end up replacing them either way.

- The scope lacks an X-Y setting on the time base, making Lissajous pattern measurements impossible.

- The auto-setup button is right under the run-stop button. As run/stop is often pressed while holding a probe on a circuit and looking out of the corner of one's eye, it's all too easy to hit the auto-setup by mistake and mess up the carefully adjusted settings. In truth though, the far more expensive Tektronix 246x series had the same flaw. I hated this on those models too.

The SDS1052Dl is a 2-channel digital oscilloscope with a sample rate up to 500MS/s in real time, selectable bandwidth up to 50MHz and a range of other advanced testing features.
Relatively compact, this oscilloscope is ideal for testing wherever you need it. It has a large clear colour LCD display for measuring waveforms, and a functional range of dials and buttons on the right hand side of the device for adjusting waveform parameters. It has multiple trigger modes, with Edge, Video, Pulse Width, Slope and Alternate selectable. It can also perform 20 automatic measurements and features manual, track and auto measurement modes. The probes supplied are of good quality and once calibrated function as intended. In short it has the desirable features of much more expensive scopes.
This is an excellent and affordable device for the hobbyist but it also deserves a place in more professional settings such as a lab bench. It is a great buy for anyone looking for a workable, feature rich oscilloscope at a reasonable price.
It was well packaged by the seller and arrived safely well within the designated delivery window.

5.0 out of 5 stars Features for dollars spent is nothing short of Wow!

I am an electronics hobbyist and need a basic two-channel scope for my work. This scope has a very nice, large screen; almost 2 inches wider than my old analog scope. The scope is very light weight and very portable. However, by in large its best attribute is its functionality.

I have yet to explorer all the great features, but a few of the main ones I have encountered so far are: triggering is very visual and easy to set up; I love having cursors for measuring both horizontal and vertical values; it has a built in frequency counter that shows on the main screen; it can display a summary of all the values of a particular waveform; it has Math functions, particularly FFT for doing a bit of frequency domain analysis; and a built in help system. The user's manual is a bit sparse but very helpful if you are new to oscilloscopes, particularly digital storage scopes. I did take the pdf file to my local Post Net store and had it printed out using both sides of the page.

I haven't really found any definite cons yet, but I am sure there will be a few things that could be made easier to find and/or use. No machine is perfect.

I'll end by saying that this is an entry level scope with features often found only in more expensive scopes. However, this is a 50MHz scope with 500M samples per second. If you are doing much RF work in the higher frequencies, you might want to consider at least 100MHz with a 1G samples per second, although I am finding this scope adequate for doing stuff in HF ham frequencies.

I've been working with electronics for many years. When my old Tektronix analog scope died, I decided to give this oscilloscope a chance since it's received such good reviews.

After using the oscilloscope for a month, let me sum up my experience in one word: happy!

Just about everything about this oscilloscope has been a pleasant surprise: it's small and lightweight, the screen is good, and the controls are intuitive. (Of course, it helps if you're already familiar with how to use an oscilloscope).

Everything you need to get started is included in the box, including two nice, color-coded probes.

However, I recommend going to the manufacturer's website [...] to download the full user's manual and give it a read first -- it's quite good.

One feature I like is that you can insert a thumb drive and hit the print button to quickly save a screen shot. I'm including two to show what it looks like -- the first one is just a sweep, the second one adds the data you see when the oscilloscope is in measure mode.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not a bad scope to have at home for hobbies and homework.

I had bought this as a home and hobby scope so I could do most of my homework at.. well, not the EE labs on campus. Being a student, I am no expert at using quality lab equipment, but I can say that compared to the ~slightly~ more expensive Rigol units I use on campus it has it's ups and downs.

PROS (compared with Rigol DSE110...)
- The screen is large, one of my favorite features compared to what I use at school
- Has all the features of the Rigol, and the Print button works as a direct screenshot to a USB drive which I like, a lot.

CONS
- The wave forms are not exactly stable, they jump around much more than the scopes at the U.
- The cursor function is quite as good as the scopes at the U, for example: If I set Cursor A and then Cursor B there is no way to move them both at the same time. I have to move one at a time. To do this I need to directly access the menu. Whereas, on the Rigol units, a press down on the Adjustment knob makes the switch from Cursor A -> Cursor B -> Both. This seems like such an easy feature to implement it's frustrating not to have it handy at home.

Again, my skills at using O-scopes is rudimentary. All in all, this is a good scope for the money, and if I had to recommend a scope to someone in the under 300$ range I would definitely recommend this one.

My Tek finally died - the high voltage section was fried. I went on Amazon to see what was available. I service audio equipment as a side line. After reading the specifications of the Siglent scope I decided to buy it. It is rated as a 50 MHz scope - but I have no trouble displaying a 100 MHz signal. On feature which I did not see listed is it has a frequency counter. The frequency counter is dead on and is actually more sensitive than my TEK 5316. My signal generator only goes up to 108 MHz and it only takes about 15 Millivolts of RF for the counter to lock in.

One other thing about this scope is when I use it with a sweep generator and use channel 2 as the horizontal reference, there is no drift in the display. With both analog scoped that I had owned, the scope would need a warmup time of 10 minutes or so to be stable. There is no warm up time needed with this Siglent.

If you are looking for a general purpose scope the Siglent is excellent. I am 100% happy with it. There is only one thing about it that I had to change in my equipment stack up. On the top of my stack was the frequency counter, then the scope, then the RF generator and finally the distortion analyzer. Well with the small size of the Siglent I could not stack the frequency counter on it. So I took my 5316 out of service because my new scope is actually a better frequency counter.

The TFT display is excellent. There is a on screen menu display that will let you quickly set up the scope. The scope comes with a set up guide, a CD, two very nice probes and a USB cable. It is a compact unit that is only

This is my first digital storage oscilloscope, I have had several analog single & dual trace scopes in the past but they can't hold a candle to this instrument. I love the color screen, it makes the identification of each channel so easy. The frequency counter seems to be very accurate, at least for my purposes. I particularly like the ability to store waveforms, download them to my computer and then show them to my micro-controller classes. This feature allows me to show how the PWM output, of say an Arduino, can vary the brightness of an LED or control the tone of a piezo buzzer.

The scope comes with a nice set of probes (1x - 10x), USB cable, power cable, setup guide, CD with EasyScope software and a full user's manual. It has a nice big screen, easy to use controls and is very quiet. I'm quite pleased with this purchase and can recommend this unit very highly.
