How could i have missed that? Yes its there, but i cant get a connection to it.
I wonder if the password is set up correct. It does not seem to be set? A empty password does not work either. Edit: "reset" is "setting the password" after you entered it.
Any IT specialist here (see picture)?
I suggest to first try to access the root directory with just the IP address : \\192.168.43.180\ and then "Share".
Not 100% sure but that's what the guy on the phone said, but RCC do not charge for shipping and Electro-Meters do. So it ends up being a wash on the cost.So, Electro-Meters owner got in touch and we emailed back and forth a bit. This afternoon he had his sales guy send me a "deal I can't refuse". Delivery won't be until the 2nd week in May though, but that's okay as no one in Canada can do any better.
As long as I am actively working with a menu on the touch screen or with the mouse, closing it manually is fine: I just tap in some empty area of the screen.

Yes, that also works. Smaller target area, but it's always in the same place. Maybe I should get used to tapping there when I am working with the touch-screen menu.
But it does not change things when I am using the physical buttons as described: I still need to reach over to the touch screen to get rid of the menu again. It seems there is no physical button mapped to the "hide menu" function?
I think it would be neat if pressing the cursor/math/decode/measure button a third time would close the menu. So upon consecutive presses of the respective button, the menu would cycle through
(1) open the menu, function is ON;
(2) menu stays open, function is OFF;
(3) hide the menu, function stays OFF.
Not a big fan of adding yet another function to the Quick button. I already have a hard time deciding for one of mutiple useful options that can be assigned to it...
Hey folks just trying to get an idea how to interpret the specs for this scope. In particular for this scope we have:
Vertical Resolution: 12 bits
and
Effective Number of Bits ENOB: 8.4 bit
What does this mean? Does it mean we effectively only get 8.4 bits?

Honestly, how many ways are required to do exactly the same thing ?
While you are questioning physical operation of the DSO also consider remote/webserver use where there are no physical buttons.
Is Menu header toggling ON/OFF really inadequate ?
I gave my motivation, namely not wanting to reach over from the physical buttons (which are very convenient for switching off cursors etc., as explained) to the screen. I explicitly said that everything is fine when I use the touch screen anyway, and the same applies for mouse operation -- be it in front of the scope or via the remote interface.
You personally may not care since your usage patterns are different and you don't use the physical buttons in this situation anyway. But please do try to understand what I am asking and why, and don't try to tell me that I must not want this.
Take a step back to consider, of all the DSO's that use this almost identical UI....all the way to $20k DSO's, SDS800X HD has the smallest display and physical form factor yet operates in the same way as its bigger brothers.
Why should SDS800X HD need to operate in a different way when some buyers try out the low cost models before investing in upmarket models therefore consistency of UI becomes very important.
Way back when HP was HP, and Tek was Tek, we wouldn't even consider anything that wasn't HP, Tek, or Fluke for the very reason of a consistent UI.
We almost never needed to "RTFM" even with a new instrument as things just worked a certain way that HP, Tek and Fluke had created for their instruments, and we had learned over time. Reps for "other" OEM brands would often get really mad when we would ask if "they" would pay for our learning time to get familiar with their equipment
A consistent UI is very valuable IMO, and shouldn't be overlooked when deciding on a specific instruments or brand.
But having worked for HP as an apps engineer for test and measurement instruments, I had plenty of customers complain about the HP user interfaces as well
A consistent UI is very valuable IMO, and shouldn't be overlooked when deciding on a specific instruments or brand.
A consistent UI is very valuable IMO, and shouldn't be overlooked when deciding on a specific instruments or brand.Indeed, now all the latest models share the same UI which certainly makes my life somewhat easier when setting up probes, installing new FW and configuring equipment before dispatch.
Like what you might ask, setting NTP IP, system time and location, install any options, H Pos behaviour, probes to 10x and compensated, V/div and timebase to 500us/div so when new owners that should know their stuff get a NIB product they can quickly discover it's ready for use !
Takes but a few minutes and then the company sticker gets attached then back into the box with a product catalogue for our clients further study ....just in case there's any other equipment they need.
Can the confirmation for Auto Setup be turned off (disabled)?
My old HP scope does not do this.
It really does hold me up having to go back and press Continue.
At present, you can execute it by pressing the "Auto Setup" physical button twice.
The Wanted Features list have added whether a second confirmation is required.
I would say the confirmation is not needed on the higher class instruments like SDS1000X HD and up, since the potentially dangerous "Default" and "Auto Setup" buttons are nicely recessed and cannot easily be pushed by accident. But on the SDS800X HD these buttons are very prominent and a careful setup of the instrument could be ruined by a single sloppy button-press.
As always in such cases, it might be a good idea to place a switch in the Utility -> System Settings, where we can select whether we want a confirmation or not. Maybe even an option to disable Auto-Setup for the educational market, where students should learn to setup their instruments optimally and not relying on an uninspired auto-setup. In this case re-enabling over the menu has to be locked via password. This would be sensible especially for the low cost instruments like the SDS800X HD, as they're likely to become popular in the educational market.

Auto and Default button should have confirmation, if you ask me...
Go to Keysight or R&S and demand features... We have Paul here from R&S and he can explain how it works. If manufacturer can make some changes they will gladly do it, if possible (technically) and if it is appropriate to the device class and if it fits in their long term strategy.
