On higher range, Rigol use the exact same PCI-e connector as Siglent.It would be interesting to understand what connector is being used for the MSO exactly. Regular PCIe / Micro-SAS connectors for example have a limit of 30 to 50 mating cycles. Using such a connector wouldn't be a good choice.
Hm, where does the peak come from...
This is not a complaint (given the world situation right now, otherwise it would be) but just a warning for people given the comments that Welectron shipped quickly. Clearly there are complications I ordered 10 days ago and while they charged me for the item ~5 days ago they have not shipped the scope yet. Communication takes 1-2 business days to get a reply, Saelig was faster in replies but I think their backlog of orders quite long if any others in the US are looking to get one of these.
Does we need to use only the internal generator of the scope to use Bode plot features ?
What is the effective dynamic range of the Bode plot ?
How many points can be used in Bode plot ? (important to see real depth level of narrow notch filter for example).
does the "blue-pills" allow to unlock
the MSO function ?
Just ordered mine from Batronix to import, good service and a nice discount, overall comparable to saelig costs to your door with the normal discount, not as good as what welectron was doing though but they are out of stock.
Everyone else in NA was telling me end of May at the soonest and its on dhl so I'll know if i get tariff slapped right away. The CAN FD decoding sold me on upgrading from my hacked SDS1104X-E so not really concerned if i get tariffed or not as this will greatly help increase my applicable knowledge and just consider it an education cost.. i got another 2 weeks of doing nothing in May thanks to covid so might as well make the best of it.
Plan to get the logic add on but not really impressed its a pcie slot.. dubious but since this will go on my shelf and just sit there so when not in use i suppose i'll just tuck them under it
Hello,
I have a Rigol MSO2072A that use also PCI-E connector for the LA, and and used it very often
for 4 years now without having encounter any false contact issue.
Besides, I ask me if the Rigol probe is compatible with the Siglent one...

Don't be scared by the pci-e.
I have a good friend of mine who works for a big connector manufacturer and even if I don't know the history of the pci-e, he tells me that usually, connectors are designed for a specific application / specification.
If the specifications require 50 mating cycles, the connector will be tested for 50 mating cycle according to the required performance.
The connector will not be tested on 1000 mating cycle while it may supports them without problem.
Agree to this, it MIGHT fit, but you can´t be really sure about and when you damaged something through the trying, your warranty will be lost.
Won´t try this out...
Unless......someone has both scopes and can buzz out the PCI-e socket voltages.
