Thank you for explaing.
I already explained how everything is compromise. I'm sorry you cannot see logic behind menu system. I personally do. It might not be ideal but is based on logic, certainly.
It is based on combination of hierarchy and shortcuts. It is also a platform. I have SDS6000H12 and it uses same basic platform.
So platform is superset.
On SDS6000A you have physical Acquire button.
And when you have such a sophisticated system, just 2 clicks is fast....
And fact that SDS2000X HD and SDS6000H12 drives exactly the same is very, very big time saver.
And don't think Siglent won't listen to suggestion if it is feasible and is good one.
Sorry for the late reply. Before responding to this post, I wanted to try the web UI on both the 2000X HD and 2000X Plus, both at home and in the office. However, I still can't grasp your point. The web control looks just the same on the touch screen here. So, I'm not sure if this idea violates any aspect of the menu design.
I'm not debating whether two steps are actually a hassle. If someone uses this function frequently, even saving one step is sensible. Sensibility is always subjective. I'm thinking that maybe I shouldn't have used the word "hassle." If it is, please forgive me. English is not my native language, so I may not express my thoughts precisely.
First of all don't apologize for asking questions and making comments. You are very polite and by no means I disrespect your opinion.
We might have misunderstanding here. Touch screen and Web will be exactly the same. What I meant is that when you work remotely, you don't have ANY of buttons and knobs. And since WEB only shows what is on the screen, GUI has to be made that you can actually use scope completely without knobs. And that means that on screen you need to have all of the stuff that should be on the screen, and surrogate (replacements, proxies) screen elements and functions that are usually on the knobs.
Organizing all that in several layers is hard work and art. There are hundreds of functions, choices, parameters, menus...
As to your 1-2 touch comment, I do understand. On the other hand, my experience is that when I do it all the time it becomes fast and automatic.. Example: single VS double click with a mouse... I also did not dismiss your opinion but shared my experience: once you touch Trig, Acq button pops up 10mm away, so I press it practically in same movement. If ACQ touch popped on the other side of screen that would bother me too.
And I do use it a lot, because I change ACQ settings all the time while testing stuff.
So I don't find it slowing me down in use after I got used to it. It is completely automatic.
Funny point, I also have SDS6000H12 that has physical ACQUIRE button. And at first SDS2000X HD did not have this Trig-ACQ shortcut. I was missing that button from 6000 so much. After they added the Trig-Acq shortcut it was soo much better than going into menu. So I was testing SD2000X HD for a week, and then I realized that on SDS6000H12 I was not using ACQ button anymore, but Trig-Acq shortcut, reflexively out of habit......
....
OTOH, I do see how other people will have different thresholds.
Like promised, I did suggest to Siglent to add more functions to Quick button. And few more things were discussed so we will see if there is any fruit from the effort.
Best,
