Siglent SDS2000X HD, 12bit, 2GSa/s high definition oscilloscope serie.

[2N3055]

2N3055 no specific concerns but I do think about things like is the UI user friendly (having not own siglent before) I find the mso5000 a bit clunky sometimes I've also had it crash.I spent a long time chasing a signal when the scope wasn't triggering because of a bug https://youtu.be/Fg9eL_EKgmE

Aha, well those are more specific... 

U/I is "inspired" with LeCroy Touchscreen concept. New Tektronix touch screen scope have similar logic.
You have menu on top, and status bar on bottom. On right you have popup vertical menu where you set parameters. When there is more data to show it pops up a larger window on the screen where you set stuff.

You simply run it as you would a tablet PC with a scope as dedicated application. Of course, there are knobs for most used stuff.
Layout is quite logical.

As for stability, in 6 months I had it I never had it crash on me. Similarly, SDS6000H12 never crashed, in a year or so.
Stability in that regard was excellent from the beginning of beta test period. There are not known bugs with triggering or like that I know of. Even if something was found it would get fixed quickly. That would have high priority.

One thing that surprises people is how acoustically quiet it is. It has fan but you wouldn't know if it weren't for a fan test on powerup.....
It is also very compact  while still having large screen. Keysight 3000T has tiny screen in comparison.
Also, trace is so thin, looks like a nice trace on analog scope. Courtesy of low noise inputs and 12 bit converters.

I must say that next to powerful SDS6104H12, 3 Picoscopes and MSOX3104T, SDS2000X HD gets a lot of use....
Very nice instrument.

After reading every post in this topic (many times  ) , I don't think that will be a problem 

[Martin72]

I´m not so optimistic what "public method" concerns.

[jord4231]

Wait and see I guess. The low noise and 12bitys are enough value in it for me alone.

[Martin72]

The 12 bit was for me the main reason to buy it.
As a nice "gift", it comes along with a very superb building quality.

Pulled the trigger, I'm now a SDS2104X HD owner waiting for delivery   
a teas session might be in aid 

[Martin72]

Number 3....
You won't regret it.

Late reply, but welcome to the club. I love my SDS21504X HD, it is compact, responsive and reliable, a joy to use for sure.

Why am I reading this  I am more and more tempted to buy the SDS2000X HD version 

Although the SDS5000X version is also tempting, but here the equipment is probably different in higher versions and it is impossible to make a 1GHz version

It is a pity that there is no SDS6000 H12 Pro version in Europe - although such an expense would probably lead me to bankruptcy

You must take a break from reading this forum, my home budget may not be able to withstand it

My budget is decimated for the next 4 or 5 months 
Meh it will be worth it. My only regret was placing the order on a Friday 
I also purchased a current probe when I purchased the scope.
Guess I can read the manual this weekend

[Martin72]

Which current probe ?

[Martin72]

Meh it will be worth it.

Here a little clip from me, showing the scope on my desk:

Which current probe ?

Just a Micsig CP2100B 2mhz

Probably it will be the same for me, it is almost two of my entire salaries...

Martin, can you tell me what the real height of the oscilloscope is, I wonder if it will fit or will I have to move the shelves. As you can see in the photo, I have some 28cm space between the shelves...

[Martin72]

Hi,

23.6cm....

Micsig2100B

Not the badest choice. 

[jord4231]

I got quite a sizeable discount buying the probe and scope together $500 AUD off!
I found a cool bamboo monitor stand today. Fantastic for a scope the SDS2000xHD will be going on it
The probes and some accessories fit in the draw.
Found this at Kmart

I've just found out I've got the following week off work, Loads of time to play with the new scope when it turns up

[jord4231]

Well It arrived today.
I made a quick video on it https://youtu.be/rvn4mzTLlnA
It seems to have a loud power supply when in standby I've included that in the video.
Anyone else experienced this?

[Martin72]

Hi and congrats to your new scope.
Yes, when everything else in the working chamber is off and silent, I can hear a whining sound when scope is not on.
It comes from the internal supply from meanwell, when it got not enough load.
Possible solutions could be by glueing the coils or put an additional loadresistor on the output.
But this must be done by siglent or they allow it to do without loosing warranty.
When it´s really too loud for you - Me, I´m always switch it hard off when not in use.
Best solution would be a hard switch instead of the standby thing.
Nearly every brand got it today and I still don´t know why...

I've included that in the video.

At which time ?

EDIT 8h43pm:

the supply of the scope

If I had something like that in such device, I would REALLY be pissed off!!!

[Martin72]

Me too if I would put an external microphone on it..

[jord4231]

Yep some SMPS make noise luckily nothing else in my lab this much. This one is just louder when not under load. It's loud enough to hear over the server  anyway yes I won't be leaving it in standby. I thought you owned one TV84?

[tv84]

I thought you owned one TV84?

I wish. If you send me yours I'll promise I'll buy a bamboo stand for it!  (and some ear plugs)

With due all respect, not really a competitor..
It has 12 bit specified and that is all.. We have yet to see how it works.
It is also missing a lot of stuff.. Let's see how it works first, before passing opinions..
