Siglent SDS2000X Plus

[2N3055]

Yesterday purchased, I think in the forthcoming week.

I'm hoping for nice hires photo of the board.. 250€ is too much for my blood... It's a oscillator, mosfet, two resistors, and a pcb trace.
I was thinking also about a version with breakable loop for wired current sensors...

Great minds think alike

Not the best photo but will get most of the board, whats really needed is a bom and its pretty evident its just a 2 layer board.. so just a front and back photo and then some with light going through to confirm

Thanks for that, I did find that one though, was hoping for a bit more detail..
It is 4 layer, for 8 turns on high current side..
I know exactly how switching side should look like, just wanted to look at loops in more detail, and see what they use for driving mosfets.

As I said, I'm interested in version that has breakable loop, for shunt and LEM and Sensitec type sensors that are not contactless.

Sure, sure, I´ll do...

Yes, it´s the same like the logic probes - But my curiosity was bigger then and so I "must" do it.

"An incredible powerful scope" :

Teardown by Dave

And yes, I also want a review....

I did a review and tear down on the SDS2104X Plus a couple of months ago.

I just opened mine up as well and I think its safe to say they are all the same between the two of our 100s and Dave's 350 model

500Mhz+ frontends for everyone, its just a marketing stunt

[Martin72]

And so we got a 500Mhz 4 ch scope for….less money, incredible less money.

It's not 500MHz on the 4 channels IIRC?

It is but breaks Nyquist without a single channel on each ADC.

[Martin72]

Sry, I forgot this fact...

[jemangedeslolos]

Not a big deal.
This does not detract from the fact that it is a good scope.
I fight every day with myself, several times a day, to NOT buy one 

[Martin72]

Do it, you won´t regret it...come to our side, we got cookies...

STAY AWAY FROM THE LIGHT!!!

Let Dave have time to do a careful review and get to know this scope as this is no toy and takes a while to learn its feature set and capabilities.
Much like the SDS5kX it is more productive to use with a mouse which really supplements the touch and physical controls.

Man.. that mouse action with that new vertical menu combined with touch support!  And you can use the web portal JUST AS it where on the scope itself!

I feel like everything is in exactly the right place that just flows or close enough its found near by.. its a bounty of usefulness

btw.. I already used it to spy on the uart line of my ssa3k+ to confirm it was still alive after tv84 and I bricked it by running its drive space to 0 lol

I need a 2nd scope but I already have a Rigol MSO7000.
Im divided between keeping my Rigol for home and breaking the bank for a higher end, more polished scope like a R&S RTM3000/4000 or Lecroy 4024HD. Or be reasonable and buy myself this SDS2000X Plus for home.

I'm in no rush so I have time to think.
I don't have the money for a full option R&S or Lecroy....data to take into account 

[Elasia]

Yes come!!  Major TEA party!  Haha

But yes only one channel per pair so you end up these pairs at 500Mhz

1+3
1+4
2+3

They support USB keyboards too however I've not felt the need to go there as the virtual Querty keyboard is quite sufficient for normal use.

Few people need to shell out a lot of coin for a high end scope for home. Use the money for something else, or save it.

Maybe it's better to wait for Sighound's MXR and then you'll have another one to think about!

I don't plan on a full review, already did one for the 5000X and the operation is going to be near identical. I also presume it would be common platform, so any issues found on one would get fixed on the other.

This must be underlined…

From the man with the most scopes in his lab, in the world 

An oscilloscope at home doesn't necessarily mean it's for hobby use.
I have young children, so I am sometimes stucked at home for several days. It's nice to have this flexibility and to be able to continue working at home in good conditions.
Im sure the SDS2000X Plus will fit my needs at home, no problem.

But I already had remarks when I wrote documentation with "Rigol" screenshots.
I know it sounds stupid but I have clients who got stuck in the 2000s and only trust big brands.
They think Rigol is Chinese shit and don't even know the Siglent brand.
They have dedicated suppliers who don't represent these low cost brands so they only know the big brands solutions and to be honest, I'm not sure that they look at something other than Tektronix when they have to buy a scope.

Hence the idea of maybe breaking the bank and buying an scope for my lab and keep the one I have for home.
If they are happy with R&S screenshots and they give me more work to do, everyone is happy
