Manuals can have typos and new features are added all the time, so manuals are corrected and updated. Please download current one as per Tautech link. --- End quote --- This happens only with Siglent. All other manufacturers are perfect in this regard. --- End quote --- Absolutely. :-DD This never happens with, for instance Keysight, where in the manual for MSOX3000T there was: - ETS sampling available and how it is used - 1,5 GHz version clearly stated - USB 2.0 decoding in menus and documentation explained in details although it didn't work (3000T is missing FPGA resources for that) - etc.. And don't even get me started on R&S RTB2000.. For all my devices, I check for new FW and new manual no rarer than every few months... |

The ':' IS the seperator. Please read the SCPI protocol specification so you can see an example command is formatted properly or not. This is a good start: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_Commands_for_Programmable_Instruments Updating the firmware has nothing to do with your problem at hand. It would be rather insane if the SCPI commands are different between software versions; it would defeat the purpose of automating measurements. --- End quote --- What do you mean "Updating the firmware has nothing to do with your problem at hand."?? --- End quote --- Because the problem is 1) a typo and 2) the OP not seeing the example doesn't adhere to the SCPI standard. Ergo, a firmware update is not going to help. Blindly suggesting a firmware update (without checking a particular firmware version solves the OP's problem) is just wasting time. Especially since the OP clearly states that a command which adheres to the SCPI standard does work. |

When your car doesn't start, you are not going to inflate your tires or clean the steering wheel. |

Then we can all work from the same page. ;) |
