It depends.  The fancier file managers on Linux do it the human/pretty way but most console tools do it the ascii or UTF-8 value way (capital letters first).

Years back I was fixing a software bug to do with the order some files were loaded in.  These files had numbers at the end, like file_1, file_2, and file_10.  The code used a Windows function that did "natural sorting" to sort the files first.  It worked great on Windows machines, but on Wine (Linux) this function was a stub that sorted things slightly differently.  Then we discovered that this function might change its sorting depending on OS locale on Windows too :)

You only mentioned you were using a MAC and USB connectivity, is it with NI-VISA connectivity drivers MAC version ?

Not a programmer arse here, just trying to extract all possible pertinent info for Siglent to analyze.

Both are first generation PSU, one is working fine and other needs repair (no standby - oscillation clicks).

Shipping can be done anywhere from Toulouse (France) except some countries.

I'm not sure about the script, but I can take a look 'sometime'. No promises when as I have lots of other projects to do too.

Good to hear the apps work! At least you only need to pull the HDD out once, unless you decide to do a PCMCIA - CD Card adapter swap to remove the possibility of an old HDD failing.
Just be sure to use a FAT formatted 2Gb CF Card, preferably an 'industrial' rated one that can work in IDE mode. I use Transcend TS2GCF133 cards and they work perfectly, both using PCMCIA and 2.5" IDE HDD adapters, depending on your HDD option type.

I am still keeping an eye out for other app versions and missing apps. If any are found let me know and I'll add them to the bundle. :)

Test Equipment / How common is this sorting order in scopes and Linux?
« Last post by eTobey on Today at 06:47:07 am »
My scope sorts the filenames rather unconventional IMHO. (See attachment)

How about yours?

Windows and Ubuntu 18.04 sort like i think it should be sorted (ignoring the letter case).

Another thing with these mixers are dry joints, I cannot tell you how many i have repaired where all audio drops because of a primary ground or power rail.

This HDD in perfect condition was removed from a TDS754C oscilloscope.

I suspect tszaboo took that for some obscure quirk of Python. His reply would make sense then. :)

That date code indicates it was made on the 109th day of the 4th year of the decade. Depending on the supplier, it's either really fresh or really old. :-DD

Welcome to the forum.

Thanks for the report.
Can I ask of your source of SCPI commands as not all you have mentioned are in the official programming manual:
https://int.siglent.com/u_file/document/SDS1000%20Series&SDS2000X&SDS2000X-E_ProgrammingGuide_PG01-E02D.pdf
Thank you. That is the exact document I used.
