Siglent SDS2000X Plus

[Martin72]

Martin, with the button Instrument Control you switch the browser to the SDS, see Scrennshot from tautech.

I know this already, otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to take a picture from it. 

[Martin72]

What are you doing wrong that the selection is still visible on the left?

Don´t know, but I´ve found a fullscreen button on the lower right of the screen.
And forget what I said about the function button, the scope is fully controllable - I was irritating that the mouse-pointer doesn´t change it´s outfit when you go to a active field.
So you can control the scope on pc as if you do it directly with mouse on scope.

[Martin72]

(…)then I press Intrument Control, then comes the SDS screen and the selection on the left side (Intrument Control etc.) is gone.

I do the same and nothing is gone. 
Maybe a behaviour of my browser (Edge).

Maybe. Can you try another browser to check if it's the same ?



In Chrome only the display is visible and you can scale it to fit your remote display with Ctrl/mousewheel or Ctrl/Up/Down arrows.
To return to the webrowser panel window you just hit Esc.

[Martin72]

I´ll try it later in the afternoon.

Just try it with chrome from my Smartphone, then it looks like yours.
So it´s dependable from which browser you use.

OK, but the Rigol MSO5000 has a webserver, too, right?

Ok so it does, I just looked it up.

So it's not really an advantage for the Siglent to not have an HDMI output

Right, however with a webserver there is the workaround to port the display to another monitor.

However the omission of 50 ohm inputs and probe sense is more of an oversight in an 8 GSa/s DSO.
The SCSI style MSO connector is a bit 'yesterday' too.

ymmv

This is the result when you want to bring your new technique as cheap as it can get on the market.
With proper display, 50ohm inputs, probe sensing etc., you´re at the pricerange of a rigol 7000 which already exists.
If 8GSa/s is not important, then…..Bingo.

Managed to nab just one unit from the factory today and I'll have it in a week or so. 

[Martin72]

Batronix and Welectron here doesn´t have the 2104 on stock anymore - Look like it´s selling well.

In my opinion siglent never sent many units to the distributors and they got caught by the virus shutdown, I don't think they sold many units, actually yours seem to be the only unit out there

[Martin72]

It seems so.
But the "higher" models (200Mhz and more) are avaible.

Nope, initial production runs were fully sold to distributors prior or very shortly after release. When I went to get some weeks ago they just weren't available.
There's now at least 2 other members here with 2kX Plus models so 3 members at least with them.

As above however I could only get just one single 2104X Plus yesterday and I wouldn't be surprised if it was robbed from another distributors order that's waiting for a production run of something else.

I wanted a 2354X Plus so to have the top model as a demo unit but the 100 MHz version will have to do for now. 

[DL2XY]

Has someone an idea what this "Tek Mode" stand for?



I have found nothing about in the documentation

Well, this would be a less problem to change...

LOL, didn´t recognize it so far…
Maybe it´s an "artifact" like the also mentioned debug mode in the menu.

It slows down the user interface reaction and display output to 25% speed? gg

Certainly, now there is a script available.

Dunno what the Tek mode is all about but I'll ask the product manager when I get mine. 

Debug mode is in the SDS5000X too and it's a tool for engineers and beta testers to pull reports out of the scopes OS and the password for it is ........  
Had a look around in there and it's not a place to change anything unless you really know what you are doing.

... the password for it is ........  

That reads as "hunter2" over here...

Nope, more characters.

Don't worry, kid, I'm sure someone else will get it

It's known to a few outside Siglent and that's how I found what it was but seriously a peek in there is all I needed to see then promptly logged out ! 
I paid a lot for my SDS5104X SDS5054X an I don't wanna break it ! It's my very special baby !

Hello Martin72,

A little question for you regarding serial decoding.

Would you say it is better or worse on the SDS2000+ compared to the MSO5000 ?
The serial decoding is much better on my MSO5000 than on my previous SDS2000X ( non plus ).
So I wonder how this new model behaves compared to the MSO5000 ( triggering on char for example and your general feeling regarding this )

Thank you

Hi, would anyone want to make a video review on this oscilloscope? There is nothing on the internet yet and I am eagerly waiting for when it will be :-) I really think about it but there is nowhere.

Maybe Dave could put a Rigol 5000 vs a Siglent X Plus comparison review into the video queue

[Frex]

Hi,

I will love too a Dave's video review about the Siglent SDS2000X Plus,
 there is not really real use info about it other than commercial promotion.
Comparing with MSO5000 is also a good idea, almost same price tag scope.
