But I saw you repeating one question about triggering and would like to know if I got it right:
you would like to be able to trigger to a serial digital pattern. Do you mean that in any particular protocol (UART, I2C, SPI, CAN) or some custom defined sequence?
Standard async serial (UART), trigger must take place on specific sequence of bytes taken from the decoder output.
I don't think HD protocol triggering is any different to X Plus or for that matter 5000X or 6000A models.
How about the PC application to manage LA operations, does it exist ?

Yes the webserver can do that and probably the SCPI command set too, I need check or you can in the programming manual:

My main need would be to transfer LA acquisition memory to a windows PC in order to visualize, analyze and store it to disk by an existing Windows application.

I think you want to look at the ":WAVeform:DATA" query. There is an example for downloading the data for a digital channel starting on page 562 of the PDF.
As far as getting trigger on a multiple byte sequence of data (and assuming Saleae is not what you want to use), you might want to consider using a microcontroller with a simple firmware program that monitors the serial port and when it sees the data sequence you're interested in it toggles a GPIO that the oscilloscope or logic analyzer you're using can trigger on. I'd think this would be fairly straightforward to code up since sample code that reads/writes a serial port is generally readily available for most any microcontroller.
With a setup like that, you'd be able to use whatever scope or LA you want.
I don't know how easy that'd be compared to whatever capability Saleae's tools have (do you need to write an "HLA" to be able to trigger on an arbitrary byte sequence?).
I'm reaching out to more experienced (than me) SDS2000XP users to get some help.
I'm trying to set the time zone and I'm also trying to set up network storage, however I can't seem to get either to work and neither one is in the manual. Has anyone been successful in getting these features to work?
Hi,
Actually there is a "Timezone bug" present, I guess it´s "valid" for all touchscreen-models (2k+, 2k HD, 5k+, 6k A) because of more or less the same software.
How about the network storage?
Fixed
Network storage only works for SMB1.0
snip: Just an opinion, but if Siglent want to considered a top tier brand, they will have to up their game on documentation.
Such approach would end up in top tier brand prices too. Not what I want.
Not really. Not in this day and age.
BTW, in lecroy manual you won´t find further explanations to the described functions.

In Siglent manuals you won't find the functions described at all.
I guess everyone is okay with poor documentation?

Programers manual (for SCPI) is reference manual.

My guess is, the manufacturers assume that you already know for what the functions are good for.
It´s not their task to educate you, this must be happen before.
