--- Quote from: 2N3055 on June 13, 2020, 08:48:27 am ---Get a grip. Zoom out can be useful. We all agree to that by now.

Is it necessary ? No it is not. Very few people use it in isolated situations, and you can as well accomplish same results using zoom mode and/or propper timebase settings. Comfort of any work procedure is highly individual thing.

Should Siglent add full manual control of acquisition memory like R&S has?  Yes by all means, if they can. It is ALWAYS better to have more options. I still would like if they would make zoom mode more configurable to be able to use less screen space as I would rather use that. It is more logical and straightforward to me. And any user of Picoscope and LeCroy.

Would I refuse to buy LeCroy or Siglent scope because of that? No, not by a long shot. I bought Picoscopes despite that, because it is unimportant to me. I just use zoom mode when I need to capture long and look at short time. Period.

What bothers me a bit are these overblown overtones in how this, frankly, non issue, is presented here.

I have an urgent message to Siglent:  Please issue urgent firmware update in which in all menus and user manuals you rename memory depth options so it is clear memory management is Auto with max length. 

Because that is only mistake they made. Unclear terminology. Everything else is one man on a crusade, and a bit of clickbait titles on some videos.

Umm, all you points above is practically a verbatim summary of what I said in my videos.

Yes, but discussion was going away from it....
I only reiterated points that were written here even before you made those videos..
Your videos are pretty much verbatim of our previous discussion and analysis on the topic by several members here..
That is nature of discussions on specific topic, we speak about same things.. It only means we agree on something..

I'll drop this here for study.
SDS5054X Zoom mode dual timebase Stop.
SPI source=STB3
-80ms to +99ms decoded data listed in ~3700 bytes
We can navigate through the capture with a drag of a finger, H Pos or mouse in either window(dotted outline = active) and play forward or backwards or jump to a timestamp.
Decode bar placed wherever you like.  :P
Hide the right pane menu if required.  :P
Then there's also History......
Same tools as are in SDS2000X Plus.

I think everybody is quite civilised... We disagree. So what?  If any of these discussions make anyone learn anything, and/or Siglent, or any other manufacturer make better products because of these discussions,  it's a win.

This is a marketing tip from Siglent.
Now that the whole world has discovered the scope, his pros and cons, Siglent will release a corrective firmware.
Everyone will be amazed by Siglent, the speed of the brand to take into account demands from its customers and they will not be able to manufacture enough.
