I don't get this hype regarding bandwidth hacking on sds1104x-e. At the end this is 1GSPS scope. Signals looks good up to 50Mhz and above that it's a bit of a stretch of the imagination. At 100Mhz there is only 10 points to reconstruct the signal (square wave looks like sine). At 200Mhz they are 5..
To not be completely off-topic - The changes between OS V2 and OS V3 is a one simple number (1 byte). In the /etc/version
file there is "rootfs_version=" with value 3 for OS v2 and value 4 for OS v3.
So anyone can change their OS to v3 without OS flashing.
Hi. I personally think that every job must be paid. Also i think that people need to respect the rules & obligations.
For me i got not a "wow i see 200MHz waves", but the perfect (i hope so) display all signals upto 100MHz i paid for. The features: i don't plan to use MSO nor WIFI nor the siglent's AWG.
I wanna buy better probes, yes (while existing are perfect for me cause it's mostly for audio freqs).
So with the hack i did Siglent company lost nothing, but got a good client. I got correct measures upto 100MHz (even bit more).
The AWG i paid is 16bit rigol DG811 (which will be hacked for max sampling).
I follow Dave's idea that beginners don't need overkills.
If after some time i see that i need "better" AWG or another features, i will buy another AWG w/ features i need or an another scope/other stuff.
