At last, Siglent's SDS5054X touchscreen DSO...

I see legacy of Portuguese Inquisition is still alive at least in proverbs...

Maybe. Those guys would extract "their" truth by punishment.

Yep.. Bad times...

Guys,

can anyone help me to telnet in to my sds5000x ?

I've done it a year or so ago, but lost the telnet.ads, and don't  remember if I need to play
back to an earlier firmware, or I can use with the latest.

Many Thanks !
luudee

Can help with some tea money as well ...

Guys,

has anyone noticed a "Developer Options" menu with the latest FW upgrade ?

I wonder what the password is and what those options are :-)

Cheers,
rudi

Developer Options is just a rename of the previous Debug menu.
Best left alone.

Maybe it´s because of the launch of the new 6000 series, Welectron offer the 1Ghz model for under 5000  (excl.VAT):

Probably the cheapest 1Ghz 4-Ch Scope at the moment

Or it´s a mistake from them (they sell off the 2-ch models), batronix or siglenteu for example got the normal prices.

There's a little bugfix update 0.9.5R3
https://www.siglenteu.com/service-and-support/firmware-software/digital-oscilloscopes/

0.9.5R3
1. Supported CAN-H, CAN-L as decode sources
2. Fixed several bugs
   a) Unexpected skew between channels after Stop in Roll mode
   b) Some trigger setting with dual-level may lead the scope not to start-up properly

Lecroy have just launched their new oscilloscope T3DSO3000.

Starting from 200Mhz for only 4345€ 

 I am too fucking stupid to understand these marketing/selling practices

So my SDS5034X will be on its way tomorrow.

Anyone know if they still have the well-know root password?

[tv84]

For telnet in SDS5000X use this fused with this.

First you pay more because now it´s a lecroy...

Second, all the options (except MSO and FG) are implemented from the start on, regardless of any promo-offers.

But....

200Mhz ?! and then this price....Oh-oh lecroy...

Very cool, I think I have all I will need.  Except, well, the scope ID.

Just to confirm: it's safe to just delete or rename the bandwidth.txt file on the 5k?

Don't go down that rabbit hole. Use the keygen.

Oh I see, I was definitely going to generate a 1000M key, but thought the file also had to be removed.  In that case I don't believe I'll need to telnet at all?

[bson]

Received my scope, tried to install a BW option; wasn't accepted.  So installed SENT, which was accepted.  Installed MANC and the instrument locked up.  Power cycled it, and it now locks up every time I try to go to the Options screen.  Upgraded the firmware to 0.9.5R3, still locking up.  Is there a way to factory reset this?

Edit: resolved by issuing "LIC:DEL MANC" over the webui's SCPI interface.

[bson]

It's also showing a Developer Options softkey.  Is this because it detected some kind of inconsistency?  Can it be used to reset the installed options?

[tv84]

Our kiwi friend should have the answers. The Developer Options is normal.

[bson]

So... some observations:
- The 500MHz passive probes are physically identical to LeCroy 500M PP020 probes.  Same accessory baggie, same witches' hats, etc.  They auto detect as 10:1 automatically.
- It came with all options permanently enabled, except BW, SENT and MANC.  So included the MSO license; good thing I didn't buy it!
- This includes FG, PA, 1553B, I2S, Flex, CAN, MSO.
- The touch screen is really good - must be capacitive?
- The 500M upgrade works good, rise time (10-90) dropped from 0.95ns to 0.65ns.  (Using a Leo Bodnar pulse gen.)

After installing the 500M option though there is no way to upgrade it further.

Sure there is.

That scpi command appears not to work with 0.9.5R3.  Might need to install an older firmware.

[bson]

Problem solved.  0.9.3R3 is the solution. 

[tautech]

Now pop Leo's pulser on it and see what you get.
Can validate the result with one I have here and SDS5104X. 

[bson]

550ps 10-90, averaged over a few thousand measurements.  Just over 800MHz.  It pleases me greatly.

One I nabbed a few weeks back.
SDS5104X with shiny new Leo Bodnar pulser:

What's the difference?  Did they just add a little bit of input shunt capacitance to the 350/500 models?

Or maybe it's a lower-capacitance PCB stackup for the 1G...
