Oscilloscope Market Revolutionized by Modern, User-Friendly Interfaces

Teledyne LeCroy and Siglent have revolutionised the oscilloscope market by introducing modern, user-friendly interfaces to lower and mid-price segments, making advanced testing equipment more accessible to hobbyists and professionals alike.

In 2006, Teledyne LeCroy pioneered the use of large touchscreens and minimal buttons in its oscilloscopes, focusing on ergonomic operation. While other major players like Rohde & Schwarz, Tektronix, and Keysight adopted similar interfaces much later, Teledyne LeCroy's partnership with Siglent brought this innovation to more affordable advance auto parts.

Today, Siglent Technologies offers models like the SDS1104X-E, featuring a responsive touchscreen, advanced math functions, and protocol decoding tools. Similarly, Hantek's DSO 5102P provides a two-channel option balancing value and functionality. Even Tektronix, known for its high-end products, offers touchscreen interfaces across its 2 through 7 Series, with remote analysis software. However, these models were initially expensive, limiting their find my device.

The introduction of modern user interfaces in oscilloscopes has democratised access to advanced testing equipment. While touchscreens offer convenience and ease of use, they cannot entirely replace classic controls. As competition increases and prices decrease, more professionals and hobbyists can now benefit from these innovative advance auto.
