hi ,
What is reason to have license for Siglent SPL2016 PLUS 16 Channel logic probe , if you can't buy the probe separately ?
Or can you buy separately the logic probe ? I can't find nowhere . Maybe some 3rd party compatible ?
Of course, you can buy SPL2016 separately. Just SPL2016 without license (normal price EUR 355,- VAT 0)
Example if your probe is damaged or loosed in travel or destroyed accidentally way or other no need buy licence again. It is permanently in scope. So you can buy just only new SPL2016 probe.
And more if you need only new very good quality original clips you can then buy clips set. SPL-C1 (normal price EUR 79,- VAT0)
And even more: if workshop have 10 scopes and want all have MSO license but all do not all time/same time need probe, just buy ten licenses but only example two probe set and then every scope user can take probe just only when need occasionally and after use return it to the tool storage of workshop. License SDS2000XP-16LA without probe normal price is EUR 155,- VAT0.
Or vice versa, if need test many separate objects and freguently swap between these but connecting probes take too much time including also possible mistakes... you can buy 10 probe for one scope with one license and probes can be already connected to circuits under work and then just need connect this probe to scope what circuit need look. Much faster and less errors if connecting probe to DUT circuit is laborious (time is money!)
Does separate pricing still feel strange?
Of course, now this bundle offer is different case. One probe+licence together for one new oscilloscope with special price.
Btw, this SPL2016 is really good quality and example ribbon cables consist of separate coaxial cables (specially for keep fast edges cross talk low)
