Hello Tautech, hello everybody,


Tautech talks about "SDS800X HD models also offer a Power Analysis option".

I find no information about what it is but it seems there is and an hardware device (df2001-a) and a software licence (sds800xhd-pa) without details on https://www.siglenteu.com/digital-oscilloscopes/sds800x-hd-digital-storage-oscilloscope at the very bottom of this page.

Does it replace differential probe x100 and/or an ac-clamp probe for scope for mains as Hantek proposes ?
But with theses (almost) standard probes I don't need any software...

Thanks a lot for your explains.

Have a nice day !

PA is an optional feature also found in the more expensive Siglent models and as in those you have 30 trial uses of PA without the need for licensing.

PA is a dedicated special mode of operation, much like Bode plot and takes a second or 2 to launch and return to normal scope use.

No.
Probes needed to make full use of PA are:
Std voltage probes
Differential probes
Current probes.

In each of the 12 PA measurement types there is a Connection guide to guide correct usage.
Screenshots below display an indication of menus and how to use PA.

No unless you feel the need to pursue higher frequencies.
Have a look at Probe Bandwidth tests here:
https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/sds800x-hd-review-demonstration-thread/msg5293756/#msg5293756
However only PP510 and PP215 were tested as that was all to hand.

Yep and likely only a couple would meets your future needs.

Great! I guess I'm just too nervous as it's a lot of money, and I'm impatiently waiting for mine to be shipped  ::)
