There is more than just graticule, touch display then menu and fiddle with the settings for backlight, intensity, graticule, etc till you find something you like
Although I have noticed the same thing you are talking about from when i had it on a higher shelf before I had the spot prepared at eye level for it.. it works best at eye level if you are able to do it
Have you tried increasing the graticule brightness?

Yeah i was a bit surprised that it didnt show up better from below.. all screens are different.. just whatever the picked has a terrible angle for that position
I keep mine eye level mainly because i want to reach over with my arm and touch it, not up or down
It's about 8" above my desk / bench.. i also dont really like it sitting directly on bench... takes up a ton of space that could be used for dut space
When we must put our scopes above on the desk, we bend them a little to reduce the angle.
yeah at 8in you really shouldn't have any issues. but that's a really low shelf man, you don't find it limiting?
how?

Not at all
I also recently picked up one of these and is now under the dut

Which pairs nicely with

I have 16 digital IO ones and 4 scope probes from them, works out fantastic on this jumbo 11x17in near 1/4" steel plate
Quotehow?
We got several scopes, those who got the raisers at the back so no problem, those who don´t.
In this cases we use a simple made bracket to fix the scope. (Groundplate, Bracket partly with rubber mounted on the groundplate inbetween the scope, now you can raise the groundplate to an angle which fits.)
Or, when it´s on our newer "Workstations":
There is a moveable "table" which we could raise to an angle we desired - But this will fit only with our older scopes, because of their weight.
Oh I see, you have a mini shelf right there, that's cool. My setup is very similar to yours (well it's kind of identical), just without the mini shelf. I have parts drawers on my bench so I'd have to move stuff around if I'd do something like that.
I like the opsec on the dut
I was actually gonna get the sensepeek set with the baseplate and probes but reconsidered as I already spent way too much money. Next time. I'm sure its fantastic.
A picture or drawing would be lovely if you have the time at some point

Here is an updated pic, the small shelf is 12" deep and my desk area is 22" deep so it works out pretty well

Here a simple draw:
(Attachment Link)
The scope is fixed through the bracket, you can raise the groundplate until it fits to your need and then fix it in this position ( how is up to you).
Worst case attach a decent kensington lock as a fail safe.
are those brackets custom made?

that'll work, good idea

Sure...Take a bar of aluminium, say 3mm thick and 30mm wide, then bend it, using a vise.
Yes but a K lock is below halfway up the rear of these DSO's.
yeah looks pretty comfortable. did you put it just for the siglent or you had it there anyway?
