Anyone have any idea where I can source these in the UK? One that I have appears to have damaged housing and won't grip wire.
For the SPD3303X-E PSU... There is not a numeric keypad to enter voltage and current changes directly. You have to scroll from digit to digit and increase/decrease them.
For the SDM3065X Multimeter... I used the screen capture to USB function. I notice that the screenshot is just that... Meaning the picture of the control settings is of what is needed to take the picture, not a picture of the settings used to take the reading. This is with using the DMM controls.
Hi tautech,
any idea when Siglent are going to release the latest Firmware for the SHS806? New units come with 5.09.01.07 (which also doesn't fix all known bugs), but the Siglent site only offers 5.09.01.05.
McBryce.Watch the websites as it's to be released soon due to your request.
4. For the SHS firmware, we will release it in a week.
Hello,
My SDG 1032X is one year old, and I tried updating it today. The previous versions was 1.01.01.30R1, and i took the last firmware on siglent site, which is 1.01.01.33R1B5. The release note explicitely says that update from 30R1 to this version was tested. It went as usual (i did plenty of such updates, siglent or non-siglent), and the device rebooted as expected at the end. No warning, error or whatever.
On reboot, the usual Siglent logo appears, and then nothing more will ever happen. It doesn't go any further anymore. Even after a long time (5min?). Even after reboot. I tried removing all cables (usb on the back, cables connected to output). When ethernet is connected, I can't see anything from it, such as dhcp request or ping (I had ethernet working before).
Now I'm completely lost, and I don't know what to do. I never heard of such problem before, googling doesn't find any more information. Yes, the device was 'hacked', but nobody has ever reported that it was a problem, quite the opposite. The firmware I installed is not that recent (released in august, 4 months ago).
Any hint on what I could do ? try ? I use it almost daily and I can't offer to buy another one.
Please PM me your email and I'll send the 18 MB package to you.

I manage to 'save' the device with this. But it's not a piece of cake. It really seemed simple: copy some files at the root of a usb disk, and boot the device with the key plugged in.
For the record, here's how it went:
(i almost never use USB keys, so i dont have a bunch of them)
Failure #1: using my usual usb key, the one that i've used to update almost everything here, including siglent devices such as SDS 1104x-e or SDG 1032x: nothing happened (noname, 4Gb, 'linux' partition id, vfat).
Failure #2: using another key (noname, 8G, 'w95 fat32', vfat)
Failure #3: wanting to 'start from scratch', I repartitionned/reformated a key, similar to the one used in 1 (noname, 4G, 'linux', vfat)
Failure #4,5,6: didn't take note :/ But none was 16G (doc says it's not supported). I tried some fat, fat32, ntfs. Didn't try 'exfat'.
Success : another key (noname, 4G, 'w95 fat32', vfat)
Failure means: nothing happened, even after ~5minutes, The doc says it can last ~2minutes. All keys were using 'dos' partitionning, not mpt. This has a field 'partition type', and this is what i display in 'partition id'. No idea if that's relevant or not. I could not figure out what the last one has that others dont... It's a very old key i hadn't touched for years.
On success, it was obvious right at start that something was happenning. The key led blinked (other keys didn't have leds, so can't say), the device screen blinked once or twice, and i had the GUI after only one minute.
Interesting checks right after this:
* the firmware was, as expected, back to a very old version 1.01.01.22R5
* the hack was still valid (30->60MHz), so I really doubt this was the original problem
* the 'startup times' displayed in 'system info' was reset
I finally managed to update to 1.01.01.33R1B5. Once again, the 'hack' survived. I noticed that the hardware version was changed from 02-01-00-23-00 to 02-01-00-24-00, which is .... interesting for a firmware update. I didn't notice if this was this way with 22R5, but probably not.
Anyway, thanks a lot to tautech. NZ is almost as far as possible from here (France), but I wish I had such a reseller here in Europe.
Normal temperature variations... I feel much better, knowing that. I must actually have new baby jitters... And, a lack of knowledge and experience. But, those will come with time.
As for the resistor value... I was working backwards on the resistor measurement. Meaning that I needed to know the precise value of that particular resistor, as opposed to having to have a resistor that had a particular precise value. For the formula I was working with, I could adjust other variables, if the resistor value was known. I hope that makes sense.
If I understand correctly, I need to turn on all three pieces of my new equipment and just let them run for some number of days, or weeks. Do I need to put them on any particular settings, or put them under a load, etc?
Thanks, Performa01. You have given me lots of good information. Could you point me to some information on practical ways a hobbyist can take better readings, please? I would think that even a small box, to block micro-wind, might help.
Siglent saved me some money!
Yes, I am an acknowledged Test Equipment Addict. I don't NEED any more instruments - but I thought - why not a nice waveform generator for Christmas?
I went to the Siglent (USA) web site, picked one out, it said it was in stock, I added to cart and proceeded to checkout.
At the top of the page it offered Paypal as a payment option - that's a good way to not fill in forms. I clicked on that - oops - error. Tried again - again an error message. A site that actually takes Paypal will send you to the Paypal login and after a couple clicks there, Paypal sends you back. Does not work at Siglent.
So, OK, give up, click on credit. Fill out all the fields. Submit. Error, "You must fill in the highlighted fields"
The highlighted fields were filled in! Filled them in again. Submit. Error, "You must fill in the highlighted fields"
I am only willing to try so hard to buy something I don't really need anyway.
OK, I get it .. Siglent is telling me I have too much equipment. So... thanks Siglent for stopping me in a weak moment.
