@ TautechThe probes are set to x1 after you press the default button and they are recognized as x10 probes after unplugging.
An other enhancement I would like to see is the ability to set the horizontal offset at a fixed position.Let's say you set the offset to -80 µs with 20 µs /div. When the time base is adjusted to 10 µs/div, the offset should should be adjusted to -40 µs. As it is now, the offset is constant and the trigger position is off screen. That's not practical and I have to adjust the offset all the time.
In Utility-> System-> Reference position you can choose Horizontal Ref to be "Delay" or "Position".When set to Position timeframe will compress/expand around set Position.I believe you are now in Delay mode.
Thanks Martin.This particular problem is unsettling. If I had not noticed the offset, I could have made who knows how many useless/misleading measurements .

If it happens again, I will reset to default again and will report back here. Thanks
Feature Request: Allow Ch3/Ch4 and Math channel as source for X/Y mode. I recently ideated about the possibility to measure B-H curves with a scope:QuoteSay you have to characterize a ferrite core, I think the gist of it would look something like: Wind two winding, primary for magnetizing the core, secondary winding for sensing.- AWG drives primary, an amplifier is probably needed to get reasonable current into the primary to drive it into saturation.- Measure current into primary + have user input number of pri turns and you get field strength (H), roughly.- Measure and integrate secondary voltage + have user input number of sec turns and you get flux density (B), roughly.- Plot in XY and you should have a BH curve.- Stuff like saturation flux density, coercive force, remanence, hysteresis losses etc. can be calculated with maths.- Some kind of offset/servo is probably needed to keep the secondary voltage integration in check.- AWG allows measurement of B-H curves across different frequencies.I wanted to give it a try with the 2000X HD, but XY mode only support Ch1 and Ch2 as source, but not other physical channels nor math channels I really don't want to build an actual integrator circuit to plot B-H curves, when the scope hardware and software is more than capable to do it itself!

if you bought it from some european seller like batronix, you get a bundle with the scope, and the frequency generator is in and almost all the decoders too ...
Just received my SDS2104X HD and this is my second disappointment after realizing that built in AWG is licensed... Any other manufacturers supports this?
Hello,feeling a kind of stupid, but I couldn't figure out, why, when switch to digital mode, always one data channel is marked red. It changes, when I disable the lower 8 bits, then data channel 8 is marked red. It stays red, when I enable the lower 8 bits again. What is the meaning of this red data channel?Thanks (Attachment Link)
