One thing that may be of interest.
The AD2 also has the 'no zoom out' issue, exactly as the Siglents and many other scopes.
This is not an issue...
Correct.
On the front panel is a button to access the Zoom feature, clearly visible unless you need vision aids.
To be frank, this
is still an issue, albeit mitigated (not solved) by the zoom function.
One thing is capturing whatever you want to capture with a number of periods of your choice, with the freedom of zooming out whenever you see fit to do it.
Another, different thing is that you have to remember to capture more periods than you need in that moment, and then use the zoom function to observe what you need to observe at that same moment...
To be even more frank, I'm starting to feel a bit worn off by the sarcasm.
Anyhow...
Isn't the SDS1104X-E supposed to come with a screen protector that you peel off before using the scope? Because mine came without the film, and the screen was pretty smeared.
Preliminary assessment of the scope:
-
Faster than I thought. Its UI responsiveness is more or less on par with the SDS5000. The screen is small but with good contrast and brightness, waay better than Hantek's.
-
A lot LOUDER than I expected. I mean it's so loud that I cannot reasonably concentrate upon my work.. I did actually read upon other threads that it was "a bit loud", but it resembles a damn vacuum cleaner...

Either I'll return it (but there are no real alternatives) or I keep it, but I mandatorily have to put a Noctua in it. Will this kill the warranty?
