SIGLENT SDS1102CML - First Impressions

[v81]

For the Aussies-
Got word from the blokes @ ocau.com that this model is on sale @ Rockbys at the moment for $395 inc GST

I'm new to scopes, but looking a the screen shots it appeared this unit has a rather low res screen?
I have little experience, bar from my 1st scope bought a few days ago (for $130 more than this!) DS1054Z @ 800 x 480

Just went through the firmware update process to keep mine up to date (5.01.02.32) and I cannot for the life of me find the cfg file that's supposed to be part of the download and part of the update process according to the instructions. Am I missing something here? Firmware update seemed to work, scope is running and system status shows the latest firmware, but I can't complete the update config part of the instructions as I can't find the file!

AFAIK the cfg file is only required if you are updating FW from a much earlier version.
If your system status is showing the version you have just installed then all is well.

Hello .
sorry if I resume this post after some time.
I went to read the SDS1102CML + datasheet (the improved version) and there is written real time sampling 1GSa / s. is this for each channel or in total for 2 channels? . does it have 2 converters or just one?

Single ADC in these. Sampling and memory depth is halved when both channels are active.

Does anyone know what the last update for this scope was and where to find it? Mine barely gets used so I tend to forget about it, but lately I turned it on a few times and there definitely seems to be a couple quirks with the firmware version it has on it. When I search for it though all I can find now is firmware for the + version which I assume isn't going to work on the old version?

SDS1000CML_CNL_5.01.02.32 is the last version I have from July 2017.
Attached as a TXT file so remove the TXT extension before installing to scope.

Thanks, according to my reply in this thread from 2015 that's the version I updated to, so I guess that was the end of the line, bugs and all 

I might even try re-installing later just in case that's the issue

tautech provided firmware is identical to what I downloaded from Web Archive, if you are afraid of integrity my calculations:

Some archeological digging led me to the latest page the SDS1102CML is mentioned as discontinued product on Aug 2016:

The firmware is still available in 2018 at (so I assume it is the latest available version):
