Unified Keygen script for SIGLENT

[housemartin]

Ok I just re-installed the latest firmware and now SCPI is working fine via the web page. Not sure what happened but almost certainly a case of PICNIC

Thanks to all that contributed to the keygen python script. My new SDS804X HD is now convinced he's a SDS824x HD   

But one thing I have noticed which may have already been reported; Before I did the upgrades I updated the firmware to V1.1.3.8. I would not advise doing this. The SCPI web interface doesn't work and also when you come to activate the software options you will not see any options available in the drop down list in the scope UI. After puzzling over this I downgraded back to V1.1.3.6 and then SCPI works and the software options were visible. So I think, based on this, V1.1.3.8 firmware has some issues. I will wait until the next release until updating further.

Just a counterpoint Didn't see the above post before updating a SDS804X with firmware 1.1.3.8 myself.

It was completely straightforward. I connected the Siglent SDS804X HD to my switch, found the ip address and used Edge to access the scope 'homepage'. From here I updated the firmware from 1.1.3.6 to 1.1.3.8. Then I did the SCPI prompts to find the model/ID etc, plugged those into the script and got the 200M key, which I send (still using Edge). I rebooted the oscilloscope, and performed a calibration.

No issues. The scope reports as a SDS824X HD and seems to behave as such. Though to be honest, I don't really know how to tell the difference

I didn't bother with the 70->100->200 jump, because others has reported jumping directly works fine. I used Edge because I don't use that to browse, and it is therefor pristine without extensions (I have had issues using Firefox or Chrome on other network attached devices. But Edge usually works).

Thank you for the script!
Best regards, Nils

P.S. Regarding 1.1.3.8 and the changelog. I read it before installing. Didn't know what "Standard software functions of FG and LA." means, but assumed it probably meant function generator (FG) and logic analyzer (LA)?... I could be wrong...

FG and LA optional licenses are the standard coding for SAG1021I and SLA1016 HW support.
Both of these licenses have been removed in 1.1.3.8 firmware and are now standard features.
