Siglent SDG2000X Firmware, Hardware, Software Versions
NoisyBoy:
I noticed Siglent just released a new firmware update to their website today, there is a significant list of changes with the latest version:
https://siglentna.com/service-and-support/firmware-software/waveform-generators/#sdg2000x-series
1. Changed the amplitude strategy of AM modulation: The carrier stays fixed at the amplitude, regardless of the modulation setting.
2. Increased the upper limit of Harmonics number from 10 to 16.
3. Supported Multi-Device Synchronization.
4. Supported Up followed by Down Sweep mode in Linear sweep (no change for Log sweep).
5. Added an icon to indicate clock source is internal or external.
Internal: External: External and the clock is lost:
6. Changed the clock switch strategy: When the clock source is set to External and no actual external clock signal is being received, the clock source will not switch to Internal automatically but the clock icon will indicate that external clock is lost
7. Supported specifying Arb type by remote control when the modulating waveform is Arb.
8. Optimized the UI of selecting built-in arbs
9. Supported changing the unit of amplitude without any amplitude change by long pressing the "Amplitude" softkey.
10. Added "User" option under "PowerOn Setting".
11. Added "Normal" as a new UI color style.
12. Added memory space information in Store/Recall UI.
13. Optimized response of the universal knob
14. Added indicator for double function of the soft keys =>
15. Removed the warning message when parameter is set to a value beyond the limit
16. Fixed several bugs
a) [2017/04/07-92573] Digit changes when setting delay of Pulse by the knob
b) Amplitude unit “dBm” is not remembered after a reboot
I found item 10 to be very useful, it let you pick whichever profile you want instead of defaulting to Default or Last.
Item 12 gives you an idea of internal storage usage before you run out of space.
Item 14 gives the item selected a much clearer indication.
I drove the unit with a GPSDO, so item 5 and 6 are welcoming additions.
Lastly, update process is painless, it preserves the enhancements you made to the SDG.
There is no updated user manual available yet to reflect these enhancements.

Thanks, added to SDG2042X thread.

NoisyBoy:
For other SDG2000X owners out there, new firmware is available. It is version 2.01.01.37R3, here are the changes:
1. Compatible with Rev.F hardware; if the hardware version is “05-xx-xx-xx-xx”, it will not support to roll back previous firmware version
2. Supported trig dual channel separated when use manual trigger.
3. Supported using another channel as the modulation source
4. Supported setting the output frequency after the completion of sweep
5. Counter add fast measurement mode
6. Changed the square waveform data used in square FM modulation
I updated my unit, the process is completely trouble free. The tinkering I did to the unit to enhance its capabilities is preserved in the new update.
BTW, thank you Siglent for adding new capabilities to the unit despite it has been around for a number of years now.

>> 6. Changed the square waveform data used in square FM modulation
just a warning as FM now :-- :palm: and PM now shitery as it gets :-- :-- :-- :palm:
So be aware in case having “05-xx-xx-xx-xx” HW model
Tested as +510mV & -510mV swing using 10MHz as
- FM 100 / 500Hz & 1Hz ... 100mH deviations
- PM 100 / Hz 0.005°
do you get the same as using SDG6000 model or 7000 model?
as I compared as using an $$$$ Keysight model... as now time to give up with that kind of SDG2K :palm: as complaining since years now
hpw:
Some graphs as from a SSA2K+ and than rollback to any :palm: :palm: FW...
KS as Keysight AWG
SDG as SDH2082x AWG
