Siglent new X model Handheld Scopemeters

[tv84]

New firmware for SHS800X and SHS1000X series released today: 1.1.20

Product_ID = 17501

It seems they use the public keygen and the same SCPI commands to process the licensing stuff.

As such, a volunteer can try upgrade from 100 to 200 Mhz.

Telnet should also be possible.

I have the 100 MHz model. I may try that. Are there instructions posted somewhere?

Tried this afternoon on a SHS810X and sure enough they can be "enhanced"

Defpom has a look at our SHS820X demo unit:

Defpom has a look at our SHS820X demo unit:

Took a quick look.
He got a bit confused with logging of DMM data and logging from scope measurements.. It is complicated though, many options there..

One thing to note is Alternate composite trigger on these scopes...

Display looks really nice..

Scott had been ill not long before so his head was barely in the right place for new to him instrument reviews but he did a reasonable job and with the illness delay put pressure on him to get 4 instruments reviewed before he was to travel up these ways and get them back to us. The first he did was a SDS1052DL+ and he sounded quite crook, poor chap. That was posted on his channel a couple weeks back so darn easy to find. He reckons it whipped all the other cheap DSO's he gets sent for reviews.

Oh sorry to hear that, hope he gets better soon!
It wasn't a critique, more of a comment how sophisticated these instruments are getting...
Best,

[Martin72]

Today 2 new SHS1102X arrived.
Pics later.
In short, the improvements against the old version are significant.

[Martin72]

Pics old/new model...
It is almost no longer comparable, wish @siglent:
Pls make a 4-ch version (isolated)...

any usage update? happy with the device?

can't find much new information about them. still insisting to buy the 800X.

is the screen changeable to a dark theme?

cheers max

Welcome to the forum.

Just got mine out and installed the latest FW that I should've done months ago. 
No dark theme as yet however I have requested it but don't know if it will ever be added. 

[maxmatteo]

thanks, finally made it here

man would love to have another darker theme... future will tell.

i have been looking around for days now,
finding a portable battery-powered non-touch(no micsig) scopemeter with proper specs and sophisticated serial decoding capabilities...

am i right the siglent shs-x series are the only ones? any alternatives?

long time ago there was the WENS-540 Debugmeter https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzO1PsscjOI. but that is outdated

"Alternative":

Comparison would be SHS1102X but
€ 4,420 vs € 1,399
 

[Martin72]

Yepp, this is what I wanted to show..the siglent is unique in this priceclass.
We're very confident with the new version.
If they would be avaible with 4 isolated channels it would be superb 

[maxmatteo]

yeah just found the scope rider also,
damn with all rohde&schwarz options activated its probably even more than 4k

the siglent shs-x offers table view for decoded uart data.

Is that list easily and fast scrollable (without lag) or even searchable?
Or will it blow up, once you hit an RX pin of an embedded linux board which spits out lots of kernel boot messages:)


thanks max

[Martin72]

I can take my batronix demoboard to work and check the decoder behaviour.

or even searchable ?

The decoding features are rather sparse at Siglent, I can't imagine that it would be different in this case.
I'll find out soon, or you can take a look at the data sheets.

Decode is std with SHS.

Screenshot with simple triggering used however with a Decode trigger you can set the bit to trigger on.
Scrolling is certainly possible as you can see in the screenshot only part way through the list.

[maxmatteo]

sure siglent decoder options are included. I meant the rohde&schwarz options

thanks for the screenshot, so you could easily scroll through hundreds of events using the jog-wheel ?

danke und gruß aus hamburg

[Martin72]

You´re welcome.
It remains to say that the video shows the model with the isolated channels.
This was important for us, because we have the scopes in outdoor use.
The normal version has all the same features, except for the isolated channels - and costs only half.
And is therefore a best buy tip.
However, one should not hide the fact that the operation is not necessarily intuitive.

[maxmatteo]

thanks again. i just ordered my device at batronix. there is simply no alternative in that price range. battery powered mso/multimeter with decoding

can’t wait to have it in my lab next week.
