Have been playing with my 804X all morning, and so far I'm really impressed. Other than the slightly sluggish UI (in particular, the waveform stops updating for an annoying long period of time when I adjust the trigger position), it's hard to believe this is a £355 scope.
Yep, a massive step up from the X-E range.
So, feature request #3: Can anything be done about the delay between adjusting the horizontal trigger time, and the waveform update resuming?
As you use it more you will discover this is by design and the HW resources available.
ANY operator changes must flush all previous measurement and History records and wait for the user to fully determine their correct settings before everything that's happening in the background recommences......these are proper analytical devices not just something that displays wiggly lines.
And feature request #4: Use full memory depth for single shot capture. On the Agilent, a single-shot capture grabs more data than just what fits on the screen, so I can press 'single' then pan and zoom the result, including a lot more pre- and post-trigger data. On the Siglent, pressing 'single' fills the screen, but the acquisition begins and ends with what can be displayed, even if that leaves memory unused. Why not fill the memory, so I can trigger on an interesting event and then scroll back and forward to see what happened before and after?
Capture methodology by design has mimicked LeCroy and requires a different workflow to achieve the same functionality as scopes that can zoom out.
OR by using a slow timebase and the Zoom feature and the zoom window active before capture. Try it.
From SDS2000X HD and up Fixed Mem depth is offered which can offer an order of magnitude more zoom out than the scope you are used to....when the advantage of deep memory displays itself.
