Hi ,
I have problems with the SDS-1202X-E .
1. Autosetup function - In most cases I need to press twice this key to get properly display . First pressing I getting a small scale signal , and after second press I get a full scale as it should on first time .
This is not always happen (sometimes work from fist attempt) and is not linked to warm-up period .
2.Some times (rarely) the values measured that are displayed on bottom screen , disappeared and I need to do a self calibration to make it measure again .(interesting behavior - upper hardware counter working , but the statistics are not working , in the meantime if I press All Measured Values , they appears on-screen for a 1-2 minutes with real-time readings , after which disappear replaced by dots like statistics and the four type of measurements from bottom screen... ).
I use the last firmware - V5.1.3.13
My question is if this behavior of the autosetup is present on the others scopes or mine is defective , because I wish to use return period for online purchasing .
Thank you !
This ^ is being looked at in greater depth. Thanks for bring it to Siglents attention.
From Tech support:
The command should the ':MMEMory:STORe PNG,print1.png' . Need to add the file extension and the file will store to the local.
Additionally, is there an undocumented command to retrieve the file remotely via SCPI/LAN?

Thanks !
They will sending me a new mainboard as soon as in Hamburg will arrive the new boards (next month).
It seems that Siglent really care about customers .

I've got same behavior with autosetup button. This happens on small amplitude sine wave. On square autosetup works fine.
Mine has autosetup fails even on 9 V amplitude signals sinus, square or triangular .
If there are systematic failures I think you must contact your supplier for a solution .

I think it's a firmware bug. And I bought oscilloscope a long time ago, seller will not responding for this.
SDS1202X-E was launched in April this year and is having 3 years waranty .
@tautech
In October I asked about the issues of the SHS1062 and you suggested to make a list.
I have written them up in the attached pdf.
If anyone has issues that are not in the pdf please state them here and i will add them.
I hope Siglent uses this to fix their firmware as it lets down an otherwise good product.
Anyone got response from:

I'm asking help for my SPD3303s that has a black screen since few days but I got no reply from them.
Should I toss 500 EUR power supply for a logic board problem?

I got it something like 5 years ago ...

Contact Hamburg Siglent:

Fourth email sent.
Fingers crossed!
Did you receive a response from someone at Siglent - EU?
Yes, I was asked to do some checks ...
Can anyone tell me if Siglent have been made aware of my SHS1062 issues pdf i posted (Nov 30th).

Steve, I'm sorry to contact you here, but it's very important for me. Please, let me know what you think about my suggestions to rearrange display information on X-E devices (post # 913).
Recently I work with two channels/signals and found that 4 automatic measurements shared between this two channals therefore only 2 measured values available for 1 channel to display. It's extremely low. Also font size is a bit small.
It's looking like good idea to place all auto measurements (up to 8 !!! or more) to the 'right column' of display (as suggested) with option to bigger font size.
Yes, it's very difficult work but... so wanted... Is there any hope?

Thank you, vladi552
Yes, we have forwarded your ideas to the factory.
Thanks again

Yes, shot through to the factory at least a week ago.
On the SDS1202X-E for each channel the input impedance is shown in yellow or purple just above the vertical scale indication. This is rather useless since this scope can only use a 1M impedance. I'd rather see an indication of the probe attenuation.
In the various versions of the manual for this scope the text for this part of the screen has changed, but as far as I can see, every single one is wrong for the SDS1202X-E (I can't test for the other scopes in the 1000 series). Every version of the manual mentions that the scope attenuation is displayed on the screen, but I cannot find it
Siglent: can the display of the input impedance be swapped for the probe attenuation?

Siglent: can the display of the input impedance be swapped for the probe attenuation?
This could be possible for the 2ch X-E as the ch indicators are only two and there is enough space then to make the indicator block larger and show probe attenuation also.
The GUI in the X-E range is common to 2kX, 1kX and 1kX-E models and only 1202X-E and 1kX models are two channel and have this room in the indicator bar for additions/changes.

When you tap the channel activate/select button, the menu for that channel is shown at the foot of the display and the channel attenuation setting can be clearly seen, this is common to all Siglent DSO's.
Be sure to not hide the bottom menu with the button by the power switch.

Later firmware solved this (switchable input impedance selection) problem so you might make certain that you have the latest FW for the SDS1202X-E. You can download it from our various Siglent websites, including here:
https://www.siglentamerica.com/service-and-support/firmware-software/digital-oscilloscopes/#sds1000x-e-series
Maybe I should have made myself more clear:
The actual probe attenuation is not visible in the main display. Of course I know that you can find the attenuation in the channel menu, but I'd prefer it to be permanently visible on the main screen. Permanently visible instead of the input impedance, which is always 1M anyways.
See the attached pictures:
actual: this is the actual screen as it is now with the latest firmware. It shows impedance but not attenuation
wish: this is a copy from one of the sds1000 manuals, where it shows the attenuation in the channel display, and also the impedance
text: this is the text from the latest manual which seems to apply to the sds1202x-e
