Anyone got a calibration manual for the SDM3055?
Not seen one from Siglent yet.
AFAIK they should have it finished by now, it was some time ago when I asked for the Service manual.
All their Service manuals have the Cal procedures outlined and the equipment needed.
To give some idea I listed an overview for the full Siglent range here:
https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/siglent-technical-support-join-in-eevblog/msg986796/#msg986796It'll be ~30hrs till tech support are at work at the factory, we'll try to get some answers for you then.
BTW have you got one that's faulty?
Hey guys,
I've just recently got one SDM3045X and although I had no time to test it thoroughly, there are minor issues with it which are annoying a lot:
- blinking (breathing) power led. It is an instant wtf - you just cant do anything at your workplace without disturbing your focus by this tiny led. I will kill the multivibrator in his head but for now the only protection is a small piece of duct tape. What is the reason behind this? Driving the users mad? Luckily it is not beeping continuously at power off.
- the font used on main screen is just partly monospaced: the minus/plus signs has different width. Because of that, when the DUT is not connected, the numbers on the screen is constantly jumping to left and right. Super annoying and it could be resolved easily by using a proper font...
- the plastic horns are upside down comparing to my SDG2042X, therefore it was impossible to stack these on top of each other (I resolved by flipping the horns upside down on SDG2042X, but one of the screw nuts just falled inside the casing.
- the display becomes super slow when the bargraph is on. Sure, it takes some cpu cycles to calculate and show the bargraph, but c'mon...
- you cannot set the display brightness (background lighting)
and I just used it for 5 minutes
Is there a firmware update available for the SDM3045x?
I found nothing on the official product page. Maybe it is not the right place to look?

Nothing that I've seen yet.
Is there a problem you'd like to report ?

No, everything is fine.
I was just curious.
Thank you tautech, happy new year!
Something new for 2017 ? ? ?
Enlarge the image to see a new model #.
2,200,000 count.
Looks good tautech! Have not seen any prices yet, but they will show up soon I guess. Well, since I already have both a SDM3055 and 34461A I rather stop buying just because they look nice and no, I am not that rich
Happy new year to everyone,
Yeah great news. With the new X series look, but the price (7980 ¥ about 1150 US $) looks more expensive than Keysight 34461. So .... between the two models i choose Keysight 34461A with Benchvue software.
But this is my personal choice ...

Who knows were the price point will be set ?
SDM3045X $389
SDM3055 $469
SDM3065X ? ? ? and $1150 seems unrealistic.
We've seen this before with other models..... the Chinese price bearing no relation to western market pricing.

I hope so. If that happens it cool be a good point. Time will be the final judgment.
If the price is right it seems to be a "Legend" for 6 1/2 Digits !
Damn me hands are getting all sweaty. That would be beautiful to form a 3 unit row with 2xSDG2000X I have. Would be good unit to test & tear for Dave
Anyone got a calibration manual for the SDM3055?
Let me know if this helps

Edit
The Service manual lists the key equipment required as:
Keysight 34172B
Fluke 5522A
Siglent SDG2000X
PC with Easytest software
I've been in contact with my distributor, but they don't have access to the Easytest software. Can't find it when searching either. Waiting for reply from Siglent.

Hi tautech,
What you mean when you say: "little different" ?
I'm sure you know something better than we know ...

Please tell us why you need calibration, is it for traceability ?
I just want it to be accurate. I have borrowed a very good reference, and my Brymen is spot on. Not the Siglent unfortunately.

It may not be any little different to the existing SDM3055.
I compared the data sheets and think they are different.
The old 3055 has high input impedance up to the 2V range. The 3065x up to the 20V range
. The DCV front end should be different. I think the 3065x will be using a bootstrapped input amplifier.
The 3055 has two current shunts, the 3065x has three.
And I expecting a LM399 voltage reference in the 3065x.

Real trusted full accuracy test data please.
Also real data about "trusted very good reference".
All the 1 year accuracy specs are listed in the Datasheet, I'm interested to know which measurement ranges fall outside those specs ?
http://www.siglentamerica.com/USA_website_2014/Documents/DataSheet/SDM3055x_DataSheet_DS06035-E02B.pdf
My SDM3055 is off by around .150 Volt at 5 Volt range. I've had it for around one and a half year.

If your reference is as good as you say it is then indeed that seems an excessive error.
Let us know how you get on with your contact to Tech support, the guy I normally contact is off work until after the Chinese New Year But he has sent me sample EasyTest scripts so I'm sure we can get one for you.
PM me if you wish.

SDM3055 do not have 5V range at all. Most near 5V is 20V range.
Tell us what is your reference voltage and guaranteed maximum error. Then tell us what SDM3055 show, exactly, when it is well (30min) stabilized to 23
+5 celsius environment and settings as deafault.
Then Max, Min, Average and SD, use example 1k samples and slow measurement..
0.15V error @5VDC is really gigantic error. Some things are now badly skewed.
My old Metrix 202 analog is more accurate.
But, if it show 5,00000V reference DC using 20V range so that result is 0.15V off it really is like fail.
