I have seen that power supply before. Don't know if that heatsink on top of that chip/MOSFet is doing anything because the die will be on the tab soldered to the PCB anyway.
There are small lies, big lies and then there is what is on the screen of your oscilloscope.

Looks like a great feature set for the price. But will have to wait for the review to see what the user experience gonna be like.  :-//

Would be shitty design if it's an user-accessible USB port (with USB logo no less) but won't accept standard-compliant USB stuff.

It's not.

In our option listings the WiFi dongle is listed as TL-WN725N.
http://www.tp-link.com/us/products/details/cat-5520_TL-WN725N.html#overview

I've been told the gold version is the one to get, why I haven't sussed out yet.  :-//

Yep, we need to fiddle a bit with the WiFi dongle and see what else will work.

BUT you need buy the WIFI software option for it to work anyway unless a hack for it is found.

It's quite remarkable what you can get for $499 and even more remarkable that you can get something quite similar for $350 from Rigol. I remember scopes being expensive and not something you would have at home. Nowadays its what you buy after a multi-meter and bench PSU and just before the spectrum analyser and signal generator. What's with the 4 channels? I usually find 2 enough.

I look forward to the proper testing video. One thing I expect I may like is the better choice of trace colours than we get on the DS1054.

That multiple trace NORM mode is weird.  (For both KS and Siglent. I dare say both are buggy -- multiple exposures don't make any sense in that mode, period.)

Appears it "ARM"s itself every 15 seconds, and that refreshes the screen.  Bizarre.

I agree. Single trigger event should equal single sweep.  Waveform update rate should be irrelevant, shouldn't it?

That still doesn't explain why a single trigger event should produce more than one acquisition. Or is Dave's tap creating more than one trigger event? Would the same thing occur if in single shot mode?

Let's see:



Probably Dave's one is all back together now but the Siglent's aren't usually that sensitive to impacts to the BNC inputs. I haven't had the beta unit I have here apart so I'm wondering if Siglent have used their usual through-chassis design for the inputs with nuts on the BNC's or they've departed to something else.  :-//

I have the same question: are the input BNCs bolted to the chassis or not? IMHO it is important to have the input BNC connectors bolted to the chassis due to the amount of abuse/mechanical stress they endure.
There are small lies, big lies and then there is what is on the screen of your oscilloscope.

They certainly are for SDS1202X-E but the mainboard layout for the 4 ch versions is vertical and we'd have to remove it to see for sure.....but I'll have a look through the front panel cut outs with a magnifying glass......back with an edit soon. Undetermined. Teardown required to be sure.

Dave: Are we going to see individual reviews of the new bottom tier 4 channel scopes, or will you go straight to a shootout with the latest models? I would argue that a shootout would be more informative than any individual reviews, so might as well save the effort and get straight to it.

I saw that Owon is coming out with a 4-channel version of XDS scopes with 14 bit resolution, XDS3064AE and XDS3104AE. Dave, I wonder if you can get a hold of one of them for a review. If its not too buggy, it would be a great contender to replace generic low frequency scopes.

I think that's likely.
Shootouts are big jobs, but separate videos and shootout is even more work.

Sounds great  :-+ Can't wait (and I need a new 4 channel 'scope too)...

That multiple trace NORM mode is weird.  (For both KS and Siglent. I dare say both are buggy -- multiple exposures don't make any sense in that mode, period.)

I agree. Single trigger event should equal single sweep.  Waveform update rate should be irrelevant, shouldn't it?
See this explanation for better understanding:
https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/siglent-sds1204x-e-released-for-domestic-markets-in-china/msg1359013/#msg1359013

That still doesn't explain why a single trigger event should produce more than one acquisition. Or is Dave's tap creating more than one trigger event? Would the same thing occur if in single shot mode?

Yes, of course.
How you think this what Dave did is "single trigger event". 
Just open History view after it have stopped and display these multiple waveforms and there can see  separate captured waveforms what are triggered. Also trigger hysteresis is not very big and trigger level was set near zero. Due to small random short peak/noise induced to open input BNC may generate "ghost" trigger. Now if this multiple waveform stay on the screen and then if there exist any next single trigger event it looks like display is cleaned. If there is no other triggers inside this one display refresh cycle what happen perhaps around every 40ms roughly. But what we see in video, time position 18:57 it is mysterious when it suddenly clean display and leave last one visible after long time (many seconds) when Dave is just only talking. SDS1202X-E do not this itself.

If there exist around 40ms burst what have many trigger events it may draw up to over 3000 wfm (depending other settings what affect wfm/s speed) to one display frame overlayed.
If there is timer what cleans all but last acquisition - I can ask, why. As long as user understand how to use oscilloscope after he have this display. Or if he do not want, he can easy set scope so that this do not happen.
If he do not want at all this, he can turn ti Single mode. But then he have visible only first trigger event independent of if there is after then other trigger events.
If he want stay in Normal mode, there is also other setting what can use. There is acquisition mode selection: Slow and Fast. Slow do not capture multiple trigger events to one display frame.

If there is bug in this case, then there is but what I see in Daves video is not bug but wondering it and claiming it is bug without any more thinking and analyzing, bug (lack of experience and knowledge) is in user side.

As if Dave never used or seen any other oscilloscope  :palm: FFS he is even taking the trouble of pulling out 3 other scopes and show their behaviour in the same situation!

I like the idea to put the MSO option into an external box connected via USB. If Siglent is clever they would provide a PC software to use the MSO box also directly by the PC. Same for the signal generator box.

Well that does complicate combining things like triggering. Lecroy already went this route for one of their earlier MSO offerings and it didn't work out very well.

Time correlation between analog channels and LA via USB is perhaps "small" problem.  How many nanosecond variation you accept between analog channels and digital channels.  MSO need  tight time correlation without random exeptions between analog and digital channels. How this USB can syncronize with analog channels ADC clock.

I think Sbus (near USB connector) is there with reasons?

I was wondering... what is the difference between hacking a piece of hardware like this and hacking software? It seems both have legal issues yet one seems to be more 'acceptable' than the other. Consider that the Rigol hack is distributed so everyone is able to upgrade their scope, meaning we're not talking about something just done for your own use. What's the convention here, or is it unmentionable?
