| Siglent SDG1025 hack? |
| (1/4) > >> |

Well, I'm still trying to decide between the Siglent SDG5082/1025, or the Rigol DS1022A/4062, and am wondering about the hackability of the Siglent models. Would it be possible to purchase a 5 MHz function gen, and hack it up to the 50Mhz, or buy a 5082, and take it up to 160MHz? Any help would be appreciated. I know that the Rigol DG4062 can be hacked into a DG4202, and that there is only one 1022 model. |

I think Siglent do not use this designed hackability marketing method in narrow hobby segment of markets. ;) |

I just got my Siglent SDG1025 today. :) From what I know, the lower bandwidth Siglent models (SDG1005-SG1020) don't even come with a fan - which kind of says something about the hardware. I would go for the 1025, the extra $20 or so is worth it for piece of mind. However, the Siglent SDG1050 is exactly the same in spec as the 1025, except for the Sine Wave function going up to 50MHz. All the rest are limited to 25MHz, 300kHz, etc. So for the SDG1025, I actually do believe a simple software mod could be enough, perhaps? Simarlarly, I have a Hantek MSO5102D (100 MHz). I could have got the 60MHz version, but the supplied probes don't make it worth it. I can software upgrade this to 200MHz (which I don't even think is offered in the MSO series anyway!). |

I'd be interested if you figured out that software hack on the SDG1025 since I also recently bought one. |

Oh, the most recent firmware (1.01.01.37R3) has a Bandwidth Update option (Utility -> 3/3 -> BW Update) that allows to enter a license key... |
