Siglent SDS1204X-E Trace Colors
« on: April 24, 2019, 11:57:43 pm »
I was just watching a video of the Bode' Plot feature of this scope and one of the traces appeared to be red.  Red on a black background is a show-stopper for me, I don't see red very well and I see it less well on a black background.  What are the trace colors for the Siglent SDS1204X-E?

The Rigol DS1054Z uses yellow, cyan, magenta and blue - no problems.

The SDS1104X-E is basically the same scope and it uses yellow, magenta, cyan and green (math is white).  Check out this in-depth review thread has plenty of pictures:

They are as Bill describes however for Bode plot the reference trace is user definable and the reference trace is never visible.
Trace assignment in Bode plot mode is the 'fix' for a trace color that is hard to see.

In normal scope use with the latest FW, any trace can also be hidden for say Trigger or Math usage.
