For example, I had some occasional problems with the USB stick with 1.3.26, but with this latest FW it often crashes and the stick always has problems when I then insert it into the PC (it doesn't even recognize it). In the FW notes they said they had fixed this problem, for me they made it worse. I'm almost willing to go back to 1.3.26. Tautech could perhaps inform those of Siglent (in my opinion the changes made for the USB have only done damage). --- End quote --- Don’t worry I already have ! --- End quote --- You should report that with 1.3.26 the situation with the USB stick was better. They should leave the other changes made, but for the USB leave everything as before. If you have any news, give a shout. Thank you |

Four channels are nice, and the upgrade to 200 MHz is free. ;) What I find surprising is that the two models use different firmware at all. I would assume that they are based on essentially the same platform. Hence would expect that they either use the exact same firmware and determine the model configuration at runtime, or at least use firmware built from the same codebase, with just a compile-time switch to select the model. In the latter case the firmware releases and features could easily stay in sync. |

Maybe the 1104X-E sold more than the 1202X-E. But. I see 1202X-E in people's workplaces very often, maybe even much more often than 1104X-E. And it seems to me that it was the two-channel model that greatly increased its popularity and attracted many people to Siglent. And for this, owners of the 1202 are teased with periodic improvements to the 1104. This issue needs to be raised in the topic of new models. Because I might want to switch to the dual-channel HD800. And in this line, it turns out, owners of two-channel devices can also be left in the very last place of attention. And show how Siglent can treat its fans. |

I have the 1104 and a google search brought me here. I'd like to let you know what I did that suddenly "worked" after reading through this thread. Note that I'm also on the latest 1.3.27 firmware. I was simply trying to decode the arduino Serial.print with a "hello world" and getting the same kind of decoding output that the OP had. Checked all the settings, everything looked good. Then I tried the 2 stop bits and that did NOT work, then I noticed something. My "idle level" was set to LOW, not HIGH. Once I flipped it to HIGH I was able to decode a full string, EVEN WITH 1 stop bit. So I'm wondering if their 1.3.27 update messed something up with the Idle High display setting, and even though yours says it's set to high, maybe it's in some weird limbo value. Try just toggling it back to low then back to high to "reset" the value. Definitely worth a shot. |

For their sympathy and support of Siglent, for choosing a two-channel model, they were deprived of the Internet and Wi-Fi. 1202X-E owners are not worthy of the -V2 Operating System, markers and FFT tables; for them there is no need to check the functionality of the firmware. But for that, the owners of the SDS 1104X-E are not deprived of attention. I wonder why that is? --- End quote --- You should consider the history: the SDS1202X-E was the first member of a (back then) new platform (Xilinx Zynq), introduced in late 2016. It already had many improvements compared to the older Blackfin platform, such as long FFT, deep measurements, long memory also for ERES and Average acquisition modes, just to name the most important ones. The SDS1104X-E on the other hand was released about one year later and the platform has developed further. There are limited resources and a different front panel, so the SDS1202X-E cannot run an adapted version of the SDS1204X-E firmware. The SDS1202X-E is the bottom of the barrel model of the contemporary product line. It still gives you a lot for the money, like 200 MHz bandwidth and free serial decoders even back then, when no other manufacturer was willing to provide such. From my point of view, Siglent makes this offer just to serve hobbyists on a budget, but certainly don't make much of a profit from that part of their business. |
