What exactly did I say? The only thing I mentioned was the user interface.
You don't have to own one to be able to look at Dave's video (or even Rigol's "marketing video") and know the user interface is a massive improvement over traditional Rigol's Siglents:
PS: Have you checked the credentials of everybody posting here, or is it just because I'm the only one who adds disclaimers?
I further argue that watching the video is a bit too little to even evaluate the graphical interface. Not to mention the fact that the appearance of the graphical interface as well as its aesthetics is a matter of taste and possible habits.
I don't know what conclusions can be drawn from these photos
You can also add GUI R&S, Tektronix, Keysight... and it won't change much
Currently, I have experience with the older Rigol GUI, the touch interface on the Agilent/Keysight DSOX 3054A oscilloscope and the Siglent SAA Plus/SVA spectrum analyzer. I omit the Rigol waveform generator or the recently purchased SDM3065X multimeter from Siglent ...
In fact, without long work on measurements, it was difficult to determine what is more convenient in everyday work, what is weak in a given interface.
As for some of the weaknesses of the Siglent SDS2000X HD interface, I learned a bit from a topic hosted by
Martin72. These are practical notes, not pasting screenshots without having the opportunity to work on this equipment.
Here are examples of constructive opinions from other topics - resulting from the fact that someone works on equipment and writes what annoys him:
"Today" I´ve used the bode function for checking some things on a differential probe.
What I don´t like is that when this mode is active, you can´t do anything else except what the bode menu allows you to do.
For example, when you want to change something in the channel menu, no chance, you have to leave the bode mode first.
Still I hope Siglent think again what is right place for "return" button in menu. My opinion is that it need be visible always so that if I open what ever menu and if want return to previous menu no need scroll for find return button.
So forgive me... If someone is willing to spend over 3200euro on an oscilloscope HDO4000 or SDS2000X HD, they still prefer user feedback, not someone who "thinks" something is better (based on YT videos). It's a bit like the attitude of a child who says that when he's big and has money, he'll buy a Ferrari
Personally, I do not want to judge either Rigol or Siglent, although reading the information about both oscilloscopes it looks a bit different.
Having some experience with Rigol, I'm a bit afraid that spending over 3000 euros I will sign up for aplha tests, and it's possible that beta tests will be in 10 years. For example, Rigol corrected some bugs related to math functions, triggers and SCPI commands in DS1000Z only in December 2020 (oscilloscopes of this series were released in 2013).
Siglent SDS2000X HD despite some problems, some shortcomings in the GUI. It seems that this is a slightly more mature design, which can be easily operated after purchase.
It is possible that I am wrong, but some doubts will certainly not be resolved by a person who knows about Rigol only from what someone else publishes on the forum or on Youtube.
