--- Quote from: Andrey_Ak on September 27, 2023, 10:44:01 am ---Hello! Im thinking about buying an SDG6022X generator, can it be hacked to SDG6052X?
And the second question, I want to buy an oscilloscope also SIGLENT, for example SDS2104X Plus is it possible to hack SDS2104X Plus to SDS2354X Plus?
And how is SIGLENT doing with capturing a complex signal from an oscilloscope and transmitting this signal to a generator?
Im want send a video signal to the oscilloscope and then capture the video signal using the generator, so that can then reproduce this video signal only from the generator.
The video signal is just a static picture of the tuning table.

Been playing with this for a bit and it's not as straightforward as you might think, mainly due to the clock cycles within the waveform I believe.
Using STB-3 for the video signal which can be rock solid triggered upon with the dual Zone triggers SDS2000X Plus offers, (using SDS6204A) however memory depth needs be reduced so the captured BIN files are not overly large otherwise SDG6000X will not load them. The process is to save from the scope to USB in Binary format then use USB stick to transfer to SDG6000X and Recall the BIN file into the AWG.
CSV files can/could be used but they can be quite large however SDG6000X converts them into BIN and saves to internal memory.
Currently I have a half result however the captured waveform is not fully reconstructed correctly but suspect I need to reduce the SDS6000A sampling rate to match what SDS2000X Plus offers.
Bare with me and I'll post detailed results in due course.
Attached is what I'm working with.

On RIGOL devices, this is done via a USB cable,
here is an example:
And there is no such thing on SIGLENT devices?

SDG6022X running firmware 36R8:
1. How does a customer normally enter a Siglent provided bandwidth activation code? A menu item somewhere?
2. After liberating the IQ option (by entering key into IQ License menu), how to undo/remove/unliberate it?
3. What does an original unliberated NSP_system_info.xml file look like?
4. Does anyone else see a small temporary Frequency error after switching into or out of (liberated) IQ mode? The error disappears after fiddling with the TimeBase calibration value, or power-cycling the instrument.

1. Goto Waveforms> I/Q> License and enter activation code.
2. Not known.
3.
4. Suggest you 10 MHz ref the unit and check again.
gammaburst:
1. Bandwidth (frequency limit) please. Or is the method of entering a purchased key not public knowledge?
2. Understood.
4. Not quite sure what you mean. Switching to external 10 MHz reference input would hide the problem that I'm describing with the internal clock's calibration. Does anyone else observe the problem?
