FW: 2.01.01.35R3B1Quote1. Changed the amplitude strategy of AM modulation: The carrier stays fixed at the amplitude, regardless of the modulation setting.
Finally, after many years, this small but important improvement.
No more confusion between using the conventional RF generator and sometimes using the SDG2000X for similar things with carrier alone (CW) or AM mod carrier.
Carrier level is now what you set and it keep this carrier level when user turn AM mod on/off and independent of modulation depth. Now it works just like conventional RF generator
(SDG1000X get this improvement around year ago)
Sorry, but I don't understand: AM means Amplitude Modulation, right? How can it be kept at a given level?
I've downloaded the new release and the output signal amplitude is varying as expected with the modulation depth, from the initial level up to 120% of this level (eg. from 1Vpp to 2.4Vpp). Can you please explain what is the difference between the previous strategy and the new one? Thanks
Is that also true of AM radio transmission?
There is no notification, in fact, I don't even believe there's a warranty registration. At least I have never seen one on the website.
In reviewing the update date for the prior versions, and the recent update on the SDG1000X firmware, I figured something must be on the way. So I was checking the firmware page periodically, that's how I came across the update a week ago. The first thing I did was to share it with the community, so we can all benefit from the updates.
That's one difference between the Chinese brands and the top tier brands, you get what you pay for. I can log onto Infoline on Keysight to see every piece of equipment I bought from them, the warranty, warranty period, cal certificates, repair records/status, service and safety notes, and all software/firmware/documentation specific to my unit. It is very nice for a hobby lab like mine, and I can understand the value for a large professional lab with hundreds or thousands of pieces of equipment.

Just tried that: no luck!
I registered, logged in and started by attempting to register my sds1104x-e.
Had the following error return:
"Fatal error: Uncaught SoapFault exception: [WSDL] SOAP-ERROR: Parsing WSDL: Couldn't load from 'http://219.133.80.90:8090/DYWebServer/DYWebServer.asmx?wsdl' : failed to load external entity "http://219.133.80.90:8090/DYWebServer/DYWebServer.asmx?wsdl" in /home/intsiglent/public_html/member/module/product-registration.php:32 Stack trace: #0 /home/intsiglent/public_html/member/module/product-registration.php(32): SoapClient->SoapClient('http://219.133....') #1 /home/intsiglent/public_html/member/index.php(26): include('/home/intsiglen...') #2 /home/intsiglent/public_html/account.php(3): include('/home/intsiglen...') #3 {main} thrown in /home/intsiglent/public_html/member/module/product-registration.php on line 32"
I'm in Sweden, if that could be part of the problem.

Good morning.
Siglent warranties the product itself, not the owner. So there is actually no real need to try and register it. We have recently made some changes to the SiglentNA.com website and we are trying to clear out old things that are still showing up. If you would like to sign up for the Siglent NA newsletter than please just email us at info@siglent.com and tell us you wish to be added. The newsletter does list all FW updates in the past month as well as videos, application notes, operating tips, new product releases, etc.
With recent changes in privacy laws, especially in Europe, companies are more conscious about adding people to their mail lists than in the past. Siglent is working to keep up with those new laws.
BTW, if you are in North America then you might want to stick with SiglentNA.com. The international site (INT) was designed for English speaking people outside of NA and the EU but it is maintained in Asia, not by us here in Cleveland.
Thanks

Shouldn't that clock input have a 50 Ohm impedance??

Then you would only be able to connect a single receiver to your reference clock source; that's probably not desirable. More likely than not, you will have multiple devices daisy-chained (via BNC T's); then add a terminator at the last one if needed.
(Yes, the luxury version would be an inout which is switchable betwee2n high-Z or 50 Ohm ...)
Only have 2042X sorry and previous were at 40 (max) and 20 MHz.
I mucked around for quite a while to try and show more than 2 harmonics so more than those displayed are right down in the noise floor.
Thanks a lot.
Now it will be interesting to compare it with SDG2082X, SDG2122X and with Rigol DG4102 in the same condition.
Any chance you can do it in the future?
Also, it will be great if you will test SDG2042X for this modulation issue:
You can: Create a two level arb. waveform and use that in burst mode.
McBryce.
I would like to switch an audio sine wave between full-scale, 0db, and like -60-120 db.
Just realised the 2122x Burst mode lacks one possibility that the Tektronix and HP generators in my sophomore physics labs had, a two level burst.
I e the burst could be set as a sharp finite level change rather than on/off.
Can't remember if that was really useful, normally, but I do have a real use case now, where I would like to switch an audio sine wave between full-scale, 0db, and like -60-120 db.
This would be for characterising multi-adc-stage wide dynamic range audio digitizers. Such as those used in the Zoom F6 and the Sound Devices Mixpre II recorders. Such arrangements are common in some digital i/o microphones, too.
