...That wasn't very nice...
I'd asked a simple, techical question, hoping that I was talking to very knowledgeable and techically-oriented people... and yet, with my first post, I'm stuck with an ego...
Is it my alias, the fact that I'm a newbie (although I haven't fallen on Earth with the last rain...) in this forum or because I haven't got on my knees at your suggestion that turned on your flamethrower? I respectfully point to you that your suggestion _did not_ answer my question; it only eluded it.
Anyway... thanks for your time...
"- What time does this bus leave?
- Why don't you take the train instead?
- I'd still want to get on this bus...
- If you don't want to take the train, go figure yourself the timetable !"
Thank you for your kind reply.
Unfortunately I don't have a Raspberry Pi, so I can't try your suggestion.

Hi,
Can someone share the file which is not anymore accessible.

Currently £7.29 from Picstop in the UK, the packaging style to look out for is as follows below:
I thought I had tried all the different Scope ID permutations. Looks like I didn't. The one that works is without dashes and leaving any other characters as they are.
For Bandwidth Upgrade (Worked for me on 8.1.6.1.33):
- Connect Scope to LAN
- On Scope: In Utility menu -> Page (page 2)-I/O-IP Set
- Either set a static IP address or enable DHCP-Save
- Reboot. If DHCP, use step 2 and get your scope's IP
- Open Web Browser-input the IP address of scope
- SCPI button on left. In the command field: SCOPEID?
(dont forget or miss the ? at the end. it is important)- Copy the ID shown
- Download the python script from wgeon just a few messages before this one
- Open the script in Notepad. Find the line that starts serial =
- Delete everything between the two single quote marks, then place your scope ID there.
NOTE: Your scope ID will probably contain dashes. Remove them. All you want are the the numbers and letters without spaces or dashes or anything else.
Example:
If SCOPEID? Returns: 1234-fedc-567b-89a0
then the serial line in the script is:
serial = '1234fedc567b89a0'
Just remove the dashes. Leave the rest alone.- Run this python script. If you have Python already installed on your computer you can run it locally. Otherwise a quick google search will turn up places to upload/paste the script and run it. (The first link in a Google of 'run python online' works)
- In the 200M line the script will return a key of 16 characters. Copy them.
- Back in the web browser on the web page for the scope, in the SCPI command enter:MCBD (key)
Don't include the ()s, just the 16 characters like this: MCBD 0123456789ABCDEF- Reboot the scope
Thanks for the clues, and I hope these steps spell it out better for the next poor slob

This method worked great today for my SDS1104X-E with firmware 6.1.5R2.
Here you can see it now reports as a SDS1204X-E.
The rise time measured with my Colby PG1000A pulse generator (250ps rise/fall time) into a 50 Ohm termination decreased from 2.9ns to 1.6ns. Not quite a factor of two, but close.
I ran the edited python script on my Mint Linux laptop by typingCode: [Select]python3 sds1000xe.py
Many thanks to wgoeo for developing the key producing script and oldcqr for the step-by-step instructions.

p.s. the 50 Ohm termination I used was the inexpensive one I describe in this video.

Hi,
is there a way to change in the script for activating AWG and MSO for a SDS2202X-E?
(I already changed the model string in the script to SDS2202X-E, but as expected this is too easy and not working)
Thank you for any information.
I know that I need this hardware. And, surprise, I have this hardware, at least the SAG1021I waveform generator. That was the reason for my question
I use it for Bode plots, (you need no license for Bode plots) but also want to use the full AWG funktion. It is a useful, insulated stimulus source for a lot of measurements. For the rest I have some other waveform generators.
But the hardware + the license together is way too expensive in my opinion, it is not worth 270 Euro together for a 25Mhz waveform generator which only can be used with some Siglent scopes.
Ok, I will read the whole thread and hope that I find a solution for me.
Unless someone with more experience can suggest another model...
Noob here
I was researching low end DSO's when I came across this thread. Buying a decent 200 Mhz, 4 channel, feature rich DSO for $500 seems too good to pass up. I do require 4 channels.
Unless someone with more experience can suggest another model, I'll order the SDS1104X-E after the Christmas rush and attempt to perform this fix. I do not have Python or a LAN at the moment, so I'll start piecing this together. I may return with questions. An above post mentions a fork. I have no idea what he is referring to
Thanks
I really do like the Micsig, a lot. Unfortunately, they don't seem to be well represented here in the US. I'm not sure who will be there for me if warranty issues arise. Plus it's about $200 more.
The one thing that seems to be missing on the Siglent is a force trigger. Am I just not finding it?
