About SIGLENT
SIGLENT is an international high-tech company, concentrating on R&D, sales,
production and services of test & measurement instruments.
SIGLENT began developing Digital Oscilloscope independently in 2002. After more
than a decade of development, SIGLENT has extended its products 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 ADS7000 series
launched in 2005, SIGLENT has become the fastest growing manufacturer of
digital oscilloscope over the past 14 years. Today, SIGLENT is the best value in
electronic test & measurement.
