Looks like it was misinterpreted
It was not a « negative » ultimatum, simply that my project is moving slowly due to not very adequate equipment and I am looking to improve that as soon as I can. The hobby-priced options are kind of limited to Siglent or Rigol, and I am trying to find the best option that fits my budget and my needs.
I have the feeling that the upcoming SDS1000X HD would bring very little compared to my current Pico scope, hence the interest in SDS2000X HD.
I noticed in the AWG System Info screen that there is away to upgrade firmware for inbuilt SAG1021 AWG there. I am currently on version 1.11 (I just upgraded the scope firmware to latest using the normal procedure), does this need to be upgraded separately or is it covered by the scope firmware?
I've been an R&S RTB2004 user for several years but decided to buy an SDS2000X HD to use as a secondary scope.
I liked it better than the RTB2004, so the Siglent is now the main scope. And after 3D printing that VESA mount for it, it's such a convenient instrument!
However, one thing I haven't figured out is the UART bus table.
I do a lot of half-duplex RS485 decoding, and with the RTB2004 it would display each "frame" (burst of characters) on a single line in the table. The Siglent on the other hand, just places each character on a new line in the table, and I end up having to fiddle a lot to compare two received "frames".
Is there a way to have the bus table look like the RTB2004 that grouts the received data in "frames" rather than filling a list I have to scroll through?
I would also like to have the "frames" for the other decoders.
As far as I can remember, it's only available for I²C, but this endless scrolling with the other decoders is quite annoying.
Oh yes, and maybe rework the display optically, e.g. like the new rigol with gray/white and black letters.
That would be a nice feature.
I´ve meant the visibility, for my old eyes it´s better...QuoteI would rather take LeCroy
If Siglent looked like our Waverunner, I would party all night long...
Yeah bothers me too..
I reported it to Siglent. We will see what future brings...

To where can I report/request this? there are very good reasons why it would be possible to show the data as "frames" or "packs", where the minimum time between frames can be specified.
This makes the RTB2000 way more convenient for UART decoding than the Siglent. And I really want the Siglent to be the better one.
BTW does the Rigol DHO800/900/1000/4000 have support for frames when decoding UART?
Not to start a heated debate, I'm just curious if they have a solution to this.

Like I said, I reported it to Siglent. With all the explanations. We'll see what comes out of it.
And no Rigols don't have that either. Nor does very expensive and beloved Keysight on any of Megazoom scopes (1000/2000/3000/4000/6000)..
