Test Equipment / Re: Siglent SDS2000X Plus Hack
« Last post by gwideman on Today at 10:01:53 am »Just posting to thank those responsible for the script and other tips.
I will consolidate some notes that might bring other readers up-to-speed quickly without fussing around reading this entire thread:
-- SDS2104X Plus
-- Script: I used the one in message 409 of this thread.
-- Edit the script to change SCOPEID to the scope's id (from the Utility > System Info.)
---- Enter scope id in lowercase and numbers, omitting the dashes.
-- Run the script. [Note 1] It prints a list of keys
-- Visit the Utilities > Software Options panel, select an option in the drop-down list, enter the key for that option from the script output.
---- Enter the key in lowercase and numbers.
---- You might think you'd need to plug in a keyboard, but no need, a decent one appears on the touchscreen.
Other concerns:
-- Originally the scope was at firmware V1.3.something. In that state it accepted a key for one of the options (and the option took effect).
-- The scope was then upgraded to the now-latest released firmware, 1.5.2R3_EN
-- The scope retained the previously-set option.
-- The scope accepted additional keys for additional options.
[Note 1] The script is in Python language. You will need Python 3.something installed in order to run it -- free and easyish to install, but a burden if you have no other need for it. Alternatively, search online for a site where you can run Python code by just pasting it into a text box etc.
Thanks again fellow EEVBlogsters.
