@hpw:
I copied your configuration and found -- if I understood correctly -- the same behaviour. But this only affects the U/I, the signal output is not changed. I.e. the choice to enter the amplitude as Max/Min values or as Amplitude/Offset combination is a global one -- it's common for both channels. But the instrument will internally convert the figures for the "idle" channel and won't change its output characteristics, and that's what is relevant IMO. Of course, it would be nice to have the entry scheme independent for both channels, but this once again is just another example for the overall dated appearance of the user interface.

Thank you for testing... in other words it is not WYSIWYG, as a student implementation  :phew:

One additional, as you are able (only given on SDG6000 models) to select as ECL...HCMOS preset system configurations, so if you have

on CH1 : HCMOS level set with min & max level or what they at the end show up?

on CH2: Sine as level & offset

how this deals if you change from CH1 <> Ch2 ??

I'm getting my SDG6022X tomorrow and after initial testing obviously want it to be "updated" to 500MHz SDG6052X.
Being not exactly a SW person :) I would really appreciate simple step by step instruction(s) how to do it and if necessary to roll back to SDG6022X.

I know that some details there mentioned above, but they are scattered and sometimes not very clear (at least for me :)), any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

How’s your new SDG6022X? I’m supposed to pick up mine later today.  :)

I updated my new SDG6022X from firmware version 6.01.01.35R5B1 to 6.01.01.36. I noticed that a value of 50 Ohms is now shown on the ‘Output’ line, at the bottom right corner of the screen/display. I believe this indication was not there before and it seems to be not user-editable (unlike the HiZ / 50 Ohm value on the ‘Load’ line which can be edited by the user).

Perhaps it is super-obvious but I don’t seem to get it: what is the meaning of the 50 Ohm indication on the ‘Output’ line? Screenshot attached, too.

Thanks.

Hello,

Perhaps it is to remember that the output impedance is always 50 Ohm. The user-editable load impedance is used only to calculate the voltage at the load.

Most likely you are right. But it seems a tad confusing to me since, as the indicator is shown on the right side of the line, it looks like being a user-editable parameter. Perhaps they should’ve written it like this:

“Output (50 Ohms) ON”

Thanks!

My opinion is it is  just right. (why it need even tell because it read front panel near BNC)


It is still very good there always read it because there is so many kind of users, so even they change Load to 50 ohm or 300 or 600 ohm or 75 ohm or 60 ohm or 57 ohm,  display make it clear to user that source impedance is still always fixed 50 ohm. Even when it also read in front panel near BNC.

Load: Hi-Z or  50,51,52,53...... up to 100kΩ
Output:  50Ω  On/Off


How it make it better or more clear if it is in parenthesis. Dictionary, Parenthesis: Around words or numbers to indicate that they are additional, separate, or less important.

Please explain now why parenthesis make it more clear or less confusion. In my mind it add confusion.
If think this dictionary. How this 50 ohm output impedance is less important or additional or separate.

Load Hi-Z  or  50,51,52,53...... up to 100kΩ
Output       (50Ω)  On/Off

In this case I start thinking why 50 is in parenthesis... is it 50 or not...
Load Hi-Z    53Ω
Output       (50Ω)  On/Off



In my mind this, As it is now implemented,  is clear like water.

Load          Hi-Z
Output       50Ω  On/Off

Load          50Ω
Output       50Ω  On/Off


Load          75Ω
Output       50Ω  On/Off


Load          666Ω
Output       50Ω  On/Off

I’m not going to argue with you, or with anyone else for that matter, or split hairs on a topic which may be not that important as to warrant too much time debating. I already explained the reason for confusion and provided a suggestion. It’s your right to disagree.

Did you have any luck on this???

Been trying to do my research here and after today I'm melted...
Today I unleashed the python script onto the SDS2000+ and now I have a fully unlocked system... 500Mhz...  Full decodes... ahh its beautiful...
So after spending the last 3 hours researching how to unlock IQ and the full 500mhz on the SDG6022X i've come a guts up...

Understanding so far:
Upgrading needs to be done by SCPI or is it done via altering the firmware {*.ads} file????   I told ya i've melted right!!

So I've tested out a telnet session but can only access over port 5024 as mentioned in the Siglent "Verification of a LAN connection using Telnet" Paper... 
Cannot access other ports mentioned in the Siglent .ads File format thread or the Hack Threads..


OK I'm lost... Any Help or suggestions?

Thanks for the reply @tautech.  :-+

So I have got as far as getting Telnet to work and viewing the "NSP_system_info.xml.orig"  with the VI..
Trying to edit the lines is getting me nowhere and not sure I am saving  file correctly to update. (tried using ZZ as well as ::wq  but  system still @ 6022x)

OK this explanation is even confusing myself.. lets start again and keep is simple..

I have this line:
<license><bandwidth_update_license>XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX</bandwidth_update_license></license></system_information>

It has data in the field where X's are:  Should I be generating a new serial? or

do I want to change it to look like this or to this??
<license><iq_support_update_license>TRUE</iq_support_update_license></license></system_information>

and if this is what I change it to why do I enter this line into the file with 'TRUE' replaced with a generated serial...

I think I may take up drinking again.....

Ok gave it a few more attempts this morning and there is just something I am not understanding or missing..
Breakdown.

SDG6022X > Upgrade Bandwidth and unlock IQ option

Have these:
Telnet .ads file to open port 10101 and bypass pword
https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/siglent-ads-firmware-file-format/msg1870091/#msg1870091
V1 directions to edit file in telnet vi
https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/siglent-sdg6000-series-awg_s/msg3174512/#msg3174512
V2 directions to edit file in telnet vi (Similar but a little different in tenet commands used as I'm guessing it uses the BusyBox VI commands)
https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/siglent-sdg6000-series-awg_s/msg3264558/#msg3264558
Python Script (It has two 'TRUE' outputs both end up same data.... Is this for the IQ option or the Bandwidth upgrade)
https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/siglent-sdg6000-series-awg_s/msg3174684/#msg3174684
 
I also have the PyDesSiglent.py code. Havent used this not sure if I need to and on what data/file or really how to... but I do have a HEX editor.. good old notepad++)
but I dont have the (janekivi full OS file)

I have followed both V1  and V2's directions in a few different ways... of changing the line mentioned with either TRUE on the
<license><bandwidth_update_license>XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX</bandwidth_update_license></
license></system_information>
As well as replacing entire line with
<license><iq_support_update_license>TRUE</iq_support_update_license></license></
system_information>
with True Replaced by python gen code.
and finally deleting all in line except for </system_information> and leaving this only

 :-//   |O

Now I reckon I am not saving/updating file incorrectly using command 'ZZ' in BusyBox version then resetting system both with USB in and out.
As well as other commands used in V2 (not using BusyBox VI)...
Then again I think I am just missing something - 'Domestic Blindness on Instructions'

Would like this up and going by the weekend to work on some DSP stuff.

Careful with those links, they try to make new posts when you click on them.
Perhaps clean them up first?

My SDG6000X LAN port died & I just wanted to say Siglent USA took care of the problem under warranty.  Just got my unit back today & it’s good as new.
Also, my hack was still in place but for some reason they downgraded the firmware from 35 to 28? Anyway, I installed the latest version (36) without any problems and my hack is still in effect.
Yeah, I had to pay for shipping back to Silent.

Hi all,
Just picked up a SDG6022x yesterday. Can someone please tell me what the secret is to connect to the unit via Telnet? I cannot get a connection no matter how many times I try. It just times out. I'm using the IP address the unit came with and teraterm.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

did you try FM on one ch ? and no modulation, same frequency on the other channel ??

the more FM you add, the more one ch roll , this means its avarage frequency is NOT the same, as the other non modulated channel..

I wish this nice generator had more connectors on the back, like Rigol DG5000 series. Otherwise two-channel operation is quite limited.

well i wish it did not have all the mentioned bugs in the software.
and also a 3ch version would be nice, i work with 3phase stuff a lot, so i have a chepo china generator for 3ph stuff,
i like to throw it out, and only have nice siglent equipment.

Hi.
SDG6022X allows different digital modulations on both channels at the same time from internal source?
E.g. FSK 1k bp/s with internal data on CH1,
and FSK 10k bp/s with other internal data on CH2.

Or:
E.g. FSK 1k bp/s with internal data on CH1,
and PSK 1k bp/s with other internal data on CH2.

and other variations.


Thanks you.

As a reaction to @jeraymond's finding on the SDG2000X and the obvious similarities between the instruments, I tried to verify the mentioned problems on my "6000". And here's what I found (both channels set to 10MHz Sine wave, CH1 "left alone" and connected to a scope, external REF supplied and connected to the triggered channel of a scope -- but the AWG shows identical bahaviour if the internal reference is used --, CH2 Burst Mode enabled/disabled and burst parameters changed for testing):

The SDG6000X in "Phase Mode: Locked" performs even worse than the '2000X in this regards: It doesn't matter if Burst is enabled or not, as soon as certain burst periods are entered, the frequency of the "unaffected" channel (10MHz sine) changes by a maximum (as yet figured out at a burst period of 99.999991ms ) of ~0.8Hz. What makes it even more funny: If the burst period is set to 100ms via the keypad, some frequency drift is present (~0.2Hz deviation). If I now change the period via the encoder by 1ns down and up again (so the diplay shows 100ms burst period just like before), the frequency drift is gone! I've got to increase the period by another 1ns to make it reappear. Seems like the internal resolution of the burst period register / math engine is less accurate than the displayed value (1ns).

If "Phase Mode: Independent" is selected, the situation is much better -- means: No frequency deviation whatsoever if burst mode is selected or changed for the "other" channel, but still, when pressing the the "Burst" menu button, the "should-be" unaffected channel stops shortly and restarts at a new phase angle vs. the reference clock. Siglent, WHY?

I probably don't need to tell, my current "go-to" generator for stuff that wouldn't require the high frequency performance or high(er) frequency level accuracy of the SDG6000X, Rigol's dg811(+++++++)  ;), shows none of this "magic". It works like two separate AWGs, which is what the waveform engines in the FPGA probably are...
