Bandwidth limit on Siglent SDS2000X Plus oscilloscope

Hi,

I recently purchased an SDS2104X Plus oscilloscope.  With the deal was an offer to upgrade from 100MHz to 200MHz.  I have followed some instructions given by the seller but my screens did not behave like they said in the instructions.

How do I check what the B/W limit is in my scope ??

Rgds,

Steve

The free BW upgrade if applied correctly will change the model # to SDS2204X Plus.
The scope should identify itself as that model which you can confirm in SYS Info.

What did the seller provide ?
The scope only or the scope and BW upgrade license ?

If the upgrade license was supplied it probably needs be redeemed at the Siglent licensing website by inserting the Authorized code, the model series, SN# and selecting the 100-200 BW upgrade license.

This will generate the official license that you can download the PDF licensing instructions which has the license in it or download the USB licensing .LIC file that you transfer onto the root folder of a USB stick and point the scope to it for automatic licensing install.

Most I have done is IIRC 8 licenses this way and they install in just a second or 2 each < no typing or error risks and so simple.

Thanks Tautech,

I purchased the scope from AppVision in Sydney.  So that is a scope and other bits and pieces (bag and probes) in one purchase.  I have no issue with their help so far except that they do take a little bit of time to respond.

I went to a website and followed some instructions but the on-screen results on the scope were a little different to what the website stated.

It sounds as though we are talking the same thing.  I wondered if there was a menu option that showed where the software-limited B/W was sitting.

Rgds,

Hi Steve,

Page 320 of the user manual: Operate Utility>System Setting>System Status to check the system status.

You get a list of HW, serial No etc. including the model number (right at the bottom) which should have changed to: SDS2204X Plus
