The tinySA does not do a continuous sweep but sweeps in discrete steps with possible silence in between. Set the scan speed slow and you will see the step
PLL's locking after the step
I do not mute the output as this would slow down the maximum sweep speed and created larger gaps which you will hear as stronger clicks.
Any stepwise sweep will always have some form of artifacts
Can you explain why these may be a problem?
The problem is 50Hz will increase the ripple on the smoothing capacitor, so the voltage will drop to a lower level during the troughs. This shouldn't be a problem with a properly designed power supply, as the capacitor should be adequately oversized, but it will be a problem, if it's marginal and perhaps the voltage is also on the lower end of the operating range.Thank you for explaining and illustrating my point so well.
Ofcourse a 'smoother' fading may look nicer but you are not getting more or less visual information (assuming the visualisation of the signals isn't broken).This really is a non-issue which has been discussed before. Any form of high-waveform update rate will have a certain amount of persistence time to make sure the signal stays on the screen long enough to be noticed. Think in order of magnitude of 200ms. Anything below is likely to be missed. If you think about it and think back about the relative long fade times of phosphorus used in CROs, you'll come to the conclusion that the display update period can't be a parameter in the process which shows the signal.
Sure, but why does any scope update the display faster than 200ms then?
I for one prefer the apparent faster updating of the 2000 vs the 1000
How about making the tabs a tiny bit smaller too?Not possible without sacrificing space needed for indication of channel settings.
BW limit, Hidden (but active) etc.
Based on your information, and what i found in the manual the statement "Not possible" is wrong. See picture.
As expected, the core architecture seems very similar to the 800X HD series. The front ends differ, of course, due to the 50 Ohm support in the 1000 series.
I am still puzzled by the dual ADCs. Why did Siglent splash out on those, given that the total sampling rate across all active channels is always 2 GSa/s maximum in the SDS1000X HD? Does this imply that the scope could technically run at 2*2 GSa/s (or 4*1 GSa/s) and is just throttled to keep the higher-end models differentiated?
It's the same for the 800X HD platform, of course. But I don't think we ever reached a conclusion there?
It is not an auxiliary coil that is used for deriving 5V for volt amp meter...
...From the main transformer after full wave rectification, I have used it.
Allthough it does not answer my question, it is still a good suggestion.
