Siglent SDS5000X-PA Power Analysis Option

The Siglent SDS5000X-PA Power Analysis option transforms your SDS5000X series oscilloscope into a comprehensive power measurement and analysis platform, ideal for engineers designing, testing, and optimizing modern power electronic systems.

With the SDS5000X-PA installed, the oscilloscope gains a full suite of automated power analysis tools that simplify complex measurements and help you quickly identify inefficiencies or performance issues in switching power supplies and converter circuits.

Key Features

• Comprehensive Power Analysis: Automatically measures and displays key parameters including
  Power Quality, Current Harmonics, Inrush Current, Switching Loss, Slew Rate, Modulation, Output Ripple, Turn On/Off behavior, Transient Response, PSRR, and Efficiency.

• Automated Measurements: Simplifies advanced analysis with guided test menus and clear graphical results, reducing setup time and improving repeatability.

• Wide Probe Compatibility: Designed for use with Siglent DPB series differential probes, CP series current probes, and the DF2001A deskew fixture for accurate timing alignment between voltage and current waveforms.

• Permanent Software Activation: Enables the Power Analysis menu directly from Analysis → Power Analysis after installation and license activation.

• Precision and Insight: Delivers both numerical and graphical representations of performance, allowing detailed insight into power conversion efficiency, switching transitions, and harmonic distortion.

Applications
