Hey mates,
my friends can't decide between Rigol DL3021A or Siglent SDL1020X-E, guys want LAN/IO, so far we can't find any DIY LAN/IO (LAN is a must, IO at the moment is not written in stone), Rigol wants 89eur for LAN option, thus buying DL3021 w/o is not an options.
thus we have a few questions:
1. how is Siglent X-E compared to DL3021A in terms of performance, bugs, stability
2. can Siglen X-E be upgraded to fully fledged X model
3. maybe there is "free upgrade option o to make DL3021 into DL3021A including DIY LAN and I/O boards
4. also we can't figure out if LAN and I/O HW is installed in all non A DL3021 and its only software option or non A model is missing hardware, shops don't want to explain it, but they say you must inform them if you need LAN/IO options before buying non A model or they won't be able to upgrade it later on....
EDIT: forgot to mention, guys are interested in characterising their custom PSUs, Lion Battery packs, and BMS
EDIT2: Rigol DL3021 + LAN and I/O upgrade costs the same as DL3021A
Best Regards,
Mantas.
