Hi Folks,
I've got an SDS1104X-E, stock OS 8.1 and FW 6.1.25R2 (if I remember correctly) that won't go past boot screen.
I've made several attempts at the powerup while tapping the MATH button "2 - 3 times a second" - no success. Probably no surprise I'm REALLY hoping there's a few other tricks I can try before sending off for warranty repair.
Is it reasonable/safe for me to try
1) prepping a USB drive with an OS update
2) Can I feed the web server an ADS file
Nothing particularly crazy done to it. About a year ago, I added ntpd using a method similar to what wpwrak described here
https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/siglent-sds1204x-e-released-for-domestic-markets-in-china/msg1812089/#msg1812089Yesterday I was contemplating a change that I ultimately decided to leave well enough alone. I can't rule out having started into it and set /usr/bin/siglent as rw before I decided to not bother. So, there's a chance it never got switched back to ro. Would have said it went through one reboot since then, but I left it running overnight and used it most of today before I rebooted and got here.
Here's more excruciating details in case any of it's useful:
- I get Siglent logo on screen and keys lit up (Run/Stop is orange, so R+G LEDs) for about 8 seconds, then they all turn off for half a second and all come back on. (With a proper bootup, after blanking, I'm used to seeing the channel buttons light up in sequence). I've let it sit for a few hours, no change.
+ Scope gets IP from DHCP server
+ Scope responds to ICMP pings
- SCPI and SOCKET ports 5024 and 5025 refuse connections
+ Web server is working, but
- SCPI commands fail ("*IDN?" gets a "Device can not be connected" response)
- On Information section, "Instrument Model", "Software Version" and "Serial Number" are all empty
- Instrument Control section just shows that spiffy Siglent logo
+ I can expand the controls section and the "Version Update" button appears to work
+ "Screen Save" and "Bin_to_CSV_Tool" buttons are functional, but not sure how much behind the web server are actually active.
- "Waveform Save" obviously does NOT work.
+ if I put a USB drive in the front or back USB ports, once the logo is displaying, the drive does show activity as though it's being enumerated, and maybe files system is being checked.
- I have a thumb drive with a "siglent_device_startup.sh" to launch telnetd, but this appears to do nothing.
Thanks
