oscilloscope featuring a 12-bit ADC and a low-noise front-end, providing 16 times the signal resolution of a traditional 8-bit oscilloscope. The SDS2000X HD series displays signals with greater detail, makes more precise measurements, o ers higher voltage o sets, and provides better accuracy than traditional 8-bit oscilloscopes. The new oscilloscopes also include several time-saving features. They include deep memory with a maximum record length of 200 Mpts/ch and display four analogue channels and an optional 16 digital channels for mixed signal analysis. They employ Siglent’s SPO technology with a maximum waveform capture rate of up to 100 000 wfm/s ( up to 500 000 wfm/s in Sequence mode), 256-level intensity grading display function, plus a colour temperature display mode. SDS2000X HD oscilloscopes also employ an innovative digital trigger system with high sensitivity and low jitter. The trigger system supports multiple powerful triggering modes, including serial bus triggering. An array of measurement and math capabilities, options for a 25-MHz arbitrary waveform generator, and serial decoding are additional features. The Siglent SDS2000X HD 12-bit oscilloscope suits the work of power supply designers, medical device engineers, or use on systems where accuracy and resolution are critical. Siglent Technologies is China’s leading manufacturer of test and measurement instrumentation.
As digital speeds and device complexity continue to increase, signals under test are becoming more complex, and engineers face greater challenges in identifying and isolating anomalies in their devices. Test tools for such applications
require wide dynamic range measurements to look at minimal signals in the presence of relatively large amplitudes. The new high- resolution SDS2000X HD series of oscilloscopes from Siglent, represented locally by Comtest, are available in bandwidths of 100, 200, and 350 MHz. They are based on a

new 2 GSa/s, 12-bit ADC front end that features a low noise floor, providing more signal detail and enabling engineers to obtain more accurate waveform measurements. The vertical resolution of an oscilloscope refers to the ratio of the highest input signal the oscilloscope can handle to the smallest signal amplitude it can detect. With higher resolution measurements, waveform details become more visible, quantisation noise is reduced, and measurement accuracy improves. The Siglent SDS2000X HD series is a next-generation

High-speed checkweighers for efficient detergent production To provide the highest precision in a small space, Minebea Intec, together with its local partner EAST, has developed a checkweigher for Unilever Egypt that is precisely tailored to the requirements of detergent production.
the factory. The scales are specially designed for industrial applications with high throughput and can handle up to 600 packs per minute – with consistently high measuring accuracy. With its compact, modular design, the Flexus® could easily be integrated into the existing line. The hygienic design with stainless steel housing (IP54, optional IP65) also meets the requirements for cleaning and robustness in daily operation. In addition, the Flexus checkweigher fulfils key industry standards such as MID and 21 CFR Part 11, and this qualifies it for use in regulated industrial areas. Controlled processes for reliable production results The project at Unilever Egypt illustrates the role that precise checkweighers play in modern detergent production: They ensure compliance with fill quantities, enable traceability and contribute to process stability, even at high line speeds. The successful implementation shows how technological solutions can be integrated precisely into existing production environments with the support of experienced partners – delivering benefits for quality, e iciency and safety in ongoing operations. Beshoy Kamel, Engineer at EAST commented on the project: “Close cooperation with Minebea Intec enabled us to meet the high requirements of Unilever Egypt precisely. The compact design of the Flexus checkweigher meant we could integrate the system quickly into the existing line, significantly increasing e iciency, quality, and process reliability for the customer.”
High cycle rates meet complex packaging processes in industrial detergent production. In addition to product quality, there is a strong focus on compliance with legal requirements – in terms of fill quantity control, for example, as well as traceability and product safety. Checkweighers serve a central function in this context: they check whether the weight of each individual
package is within defined tolerances, reliably eject products with incorrect weights, and document deviations. Thus they contribute to process reliability and quality assurance. High speeds and limited space place particular demands on the weighing technology used. These factors also had to be considered in
