New vs used Siglent equipment?
<< < (2/2)
tautech:
Just ensure it's running the latest firmware:

Possibly I can give an indication of the manufacture date from the SN#.
The full code minus the last 3 numbers is all I need.
Like this: SDG1X****R*xxx

Enjoy.  :)
nirvdrum:
Thanks for the offer, tautech. The SN# is SDG1XCAC4R0xxx.

PM me the full SN# and your email and I'll try and get the factory Cal cert for it to send to you.

--- Quote from: nirvdrum on January 05, 2021, 07:59:01 pm ---Thanks for the feedback everyone. The item arrived and looks virtually brand new, although it's missing the calibration certificate. The power-on count was at 3, so I'm guessing it's a case of buyer's remorse. I need to contact Siglent to see what the warranty start date was.

Is there anything in particular that I should be testing for? I've hooked it up to my scope and it looks fine to me. I ran all the self-tests and those passed. Are there any other smoke tests to run or demon cases to test?

Sorry for reviving an older thread, but I am about to follow the same path as you did nirvdrum. Like you I also think there is some small benefit sticking to the Siglent brand, especially since I have a Siglent scope and do plan to take advantage of the bode plot capabilities

I see Amazon warehouse has a few used "Very Good" condition SDG1032X in stock and hope they are also buyers remorse type of units. I did buy my Siglent scope used from Amazon warehouse some months back, and it came in basically brand new condition, so I am comfortable rolling the dice again. With Amazon's money back policy I am not too worried about getting stuck with a defective unit, at least in the short term.

What I am wondering though is if you could provide feedback now that you have owned and used your SDG1032X for what appears to be 18-months now. Are you still happy with it or now after some time wish you would have chosen something different?
