Siglent SDS3000X HD and upgraded SDS1000X HD

[Martin72]

24h later.....
Unpacked, more pictures will follow in the days to come.
The fact that the display foil is not present and neither are the front dust caps is not a problem, but it was different with the 2104XHD.
Excellent workmanship, the handle is of course made of aluminum.
This time a mouse is also included and very nice probes.
And....
A calibration certificate, complete with values.
Since Siglent usually does this with their “Pro” models, it underlines the claim they have with the 3000 series.
At the moment I am very pleasantly surprised by all of them.
More pictures and first impressions after switching on soon, not today, it's quite cold outside here and the device has to acclimatize first.

Congratulations! I guess I can't tease you about waiting anymore. Aw shucks. 😉

Hello,

the SP3050A (this is wrong!) probes are also included in the SDS2104X HD.

Sorry, I made a mistake. My SDS2104X HD comes with the SP5050A.

[Martin72]

At the time, my SDS2104X HD came with probes (5050A) that did not appear to be of such high quality:

My SDS2104X HD (received just after Easter) also came with the SP5050A probes.

Mine too, a few weeks back.
Still, 500MHz probes delivered with a 100MHz scope - can't complain.

Mine also.  As far as I can tell, the maximum rms voltage rating is a bit lower (300 versus 400).

you shouldn't look at mains signals without a differential probe...

I just updated the forum rules. When new equipment is shown, the forum doesn't accept new posts from that user unless a teardown is shown.

@Martin  I can send you screwdrivers for free if you don't have any to perform the requested action.

[kripton2035]

Dave will certainly soon receive a SDS3000 ...

Martin isn't about to void his warranty! He needs the warranty intact when he sells the scope a year from now when the opportunity arises for him to get an 8GHz SDS7000A in exchange for $500 and a high-five.

If he has ordered one, he will get one at some point.
The delivery situation is very difficult, as only those who will pay for it are likely to be supplied first.
As it turned out today, I wouldn't have been able to get one either, despite ordering over 3 months ago.
They sent me their own demonstration device by mistake (hence the missing display foil and dust caps), but I can keep it until a new one is actually sent out.
So I can play around a bit, I've already started it after the acclimatization.
The fan is regulated, that's for sure, it makes a clear noise at the beginning when booting, then it gradually gets quieter and quieter - but not as quiet as the SDS2000X HD.
A few things are different from what I'm used to, and the “basic speed” seems faster to me.
But I'll find out more about that in the days to come, with the report here, of course.

I'm pretty sure Dave receives devices he didn't order

For sure.

Yet, what has HQ had in return for their gift of 2 scopes of nearly $2k in value as yet.

But it also has to do something for this, and it hasn't for a long time, or at least not properly, especially with Siglent products.

Frankly, a first-to-market, flashy Rigol scope might suit Dave's style and format better than a second-to-market Siglent scope with a no-frills package, no-frills UI, and powerful-but-complex capabilities.
