Siglent SDG6000X Calibration
rdsi:
So I bought a SDG6022X a while back in 2020 and hacked it into the SDG6052X version. I just noticed the amplitude setting are off about 5% which is very disappointing. Both channels have the same bias.
I read somewhere that calibration could be affected when hacking these units. Is there any truth to this?
I downloaded the service manual in hopes to perform a calibration procedure but it looks like it’s done through a NI VISA program. Is this software available or is the only solution to send it in?
Thanks...

How do you know amplitude is off?
Calibration is not affected with hacking. You heard wrong. Those that have that problem are Rigol AWG.

I can´t find any calibration notes in the service manual..

I measured it.

Yeah, version B of the service manual has now deleted any reference to calibration. My version A eludes to it saying it's done automatically using a NI VISA setup & some python scripts.
The programming manual does not show any commands related to calibration so they must be undocumented. In my version A of the service manual I do see how to access an undocumented "SelfCal" menu. When viewing "System Info" input the password "123654" to access it. After performing the "SelfCal" function the the "DC Output Verification" test now passes but the "AC Amplitude Verification" tests are all a little high.
So the question is how do you calibrate these things. Right now it looks like its a secret!
