I just bought the 804x and want to unlock everything on it. Is there a video that shows the process?
Check out the
Unified Keygen Script for Siglent thread here - in the first post you will see code box with the Python script that generates the keys you need. If you aren't familiar with Python or don't have a programming environment just copy that code and paste it into
this online compiler.The method used for the SDS800X HD is the
same one that has been used for the SDS1104X-E scope. You can access the SCPI on the SDS800X HD by putting it on your network and browsing to the IP address assigned to the scope.
Edit - alternatively, here is a
link to a script setup for the SDS800X-HD. Edit line 53 with your scope's ID, and line 58 with your scope's SN and then click RUN at the top of the script. Before continuing, enter MCBD? into the SCPI command box on the scope web page and ensure that the result displayed matches the 70M code generated by the script - because the SDS804X HD is a 70 MHz scope, this ensures that the script is working correctly. You can then proceed to upgrade your scope to 100 MHz and finally 200 MHz if desired. I understand it is suggested to upgrade the bandwidths incrementallly 70->100->200 rather than jumping straight to 200 Mhz. Also gho to the Util menu on the scope and do the Reset to factory defaults after each BW upgrade step. When you are done, let the scope warm up and run a full calibration.
The option keys are entered on the scope screen itself, not the web page. I don't recall if you use AWG or FG for the function generator key, but one will work and the other won't lol (I think it's AWG). The MSO or 16LA option is for the logic analyzer.
I would copy and paste the keys into a text file somewhere and add your SN and ID for future reference - that way if you ever want to return the scope to it's original condition you have all the information and don't need to run the script again.
