About SIGLENT

SIGLENT is an international high-tech company, concentrating on R&D,

sales,production and services of electronic test & measurement instruments.

SIGLENT first began developing digital oscilloscopes independently in 2002. After

more than a decade of continuous development, SIGLENT has extended its
product line to include digital oscilloscopes, function/arbitrary waveform
generators, digital multimeters, DC power supplies, spectrum analyzers, isolated
handheld oscilloscopes and other general purpose test instrumentation. Since its
first oscilloscope, the ADS7000 series, was launched in 2005, SIGLENT has
become the fastest growing manufacturer of digital oscilloscopes. We firmly
believe that today SIGLENT is the best value in electronic test & measurement.
