Did your generator have a newer firmware and you downgraded to 17R5 for the hack?
Sorry for stupid question, but what is your network topology? How you connect Gen? Is DHCP server (service) exist? What in DHCP server logs?
If you connect Gen directly to Win PC then there no DHCP server in segment by default. Gen have no server, client only. You should set addresses manually in Gen and PC in one subnet.
192.168.1.2/255.255.255.0 and 192.168.1.1/255.255.255.0 for example.
Anyway - I did the hack with Ubuntu DHCP server with direct connect (no gateway) to SDG.
I have a few questions about EasyWave and the SDG2042X.
I'm trying to generate the following signal.
f = cos(2pi*3.9e7) + cos(2pi*4e7)
Ahhh sweet bro!
I didn't know all I needed to do was generate a csv file. Awesome. This will be fun tuning.
Without using EasyWave, do I need to put the csv file on a flash drive and load it into the front USB port of the SDG2042X? (seems like this is a potential work around to the 40MHz limit without cracking the device). Also, my equipment is not in front of me, so I'll have to do this tomorrow in the lab. I can check on the IM3/IM5 then.

The internal CH1+CH2 looks much cleaner (55dB SFDR vs 30dB), but I don't know if there's a different reason why that mode is unsuitable. Other than being squirreled away under Utilities > Output Setup > Wave Combine. They go to all the effort to make a friendly graphical diagram for the mode and then hide it away

Is there an SCPI manual for the SDG2000X yet? I've been referred to the SDG1000 SCPI manual but it seems incomplete. It does not appear to have any instructions for Wave Combine documented. I *need* this.
Just got in my GPSDO as a lab reference and decided to hook it up to the SDG2000X after it settled for a bit. I have been feeding it into the frequency counter to get a feel for the reference accuracy on the Siglent. I could clearly see the slight drift during warm-up of the signal gen, having started the counter on a cold start. After a few hous it has been pretty solid at +0.33ppm (reading the 10MHz signal at -.33ppm) and drifting no more than about 0.04ppm
1. Is it possible to use this data to better calibrate the SDG2000X? The only calibration instructions I have found is for the touch screen.
2. I would really love to see a graph of the frequency counter rather than having to capture the data via SCPI and write code to display it. Any chance of getting this enhancement? (I see I'm not the first to ask for it.)

Quite happy with the unit, but after a few weeks it seems like the led's have given up. I thought at first it was some wonky firmware issue, until I found the LEDTest.
I haven't actually bothered to open the unit up yet to check if there is a loose connector, but it has been stationary on my desk all the time so would be a little odd.
Anyone else experienced this?Never heard of failed LED's before.
If you have had it only a short time from new it will be a warranty repair, please contact your local supplier to start the warranty process.

I got it via a dealer on aliexpress, so with return shipping etc, it would be about the same as getting a new one I suspect. Anyho - I opened it up, the front panel is a bit of a PITA to both open and re-assemble. The display board has 2 74HC595 serial shift registers that drives the LED. I had a little look at the signals and all seemed fine, except the output enable was constantly high resulting in no output. It has a 'local' pull-down, and what I presume is a schmitt-trigger that is driven from the main unit. This signal was always high. I didn't bother troubleshooting the main board further - but I suspect it's a software issue. Anyho, I just removed a resistor the signal goes through (R196, 0603, measured to 5k), output enable will now stay low forever and the LED works like they should.
I'm having trouble populating an IP address after pressing "DHCP On" both after I've attempted to connect to my desktop, and then my laptop. The IP Address I receive back is "0.0.0.0" and I am unable to use Putty into the device.
Does anybody know what might be causing this?
For some reason I wasn't able to get the unit to populate an IP address, but I was still able to putty into the device to do what I needed to do by just manually setting the IP.
Tautech,
Do you know if Siglent is still working on firmware updates? If so, will we be able to trigger both channels at the same time from a software trigger?
