That looks nice, bit I still prefer to have safety jacks that take shrouded plugs, especially when the other side of the cable is hooked up to a power supply under test, which may or may not take accidental shorts very well.  :P

No...there's a point beyond which I can't believe this is my problem. Not only does my computer and network work perfectly with four other Siglent instruments (and dozens of other devices), but if I touch the IP configuration on the SDL configuration page the ethernet wakes up, and this time doesn't go back to sleep again. That would make no sense if it were a problem with my switch or router. I just don't know why no one else is experiencing the same thing. It really smells like an uninitialized variable in the firmware to me, and I just happen to have a bad value stored there. Currently I have my router set to always assign the same IP address based on the MAC address (and it's the same address I was using as a static IP before), and things work perfectly. That's added evidence it's not my computer, cabling, or switch.

Thanks for the suggestions, though. At some point I'll try my SDL with a completely different environment - different cables, router, switch, computer - just to make sure it has to be the unit.

I recently bought a SDL1020X-E and configured it with static IP, as are my other Lab devices with LAN connection, and none had issues. But when using for the first time, EasyDSL stopped logging after 30 minutes. Then I recall have read something about it and revisited this thread.
Now all devices have IP reserved by MAC address in the router, and are DHCP enabled, and everything seems to work fine.

I agree that there must be some issue with the ethernet connection on the SDL. But in this case it can be overcome.  :phew:
Thanks for the tips.

NOTE: As mentioned before, the trend time in the EasySDL is wrong and Siglent should release a new software version.

Banana lead capable input terminals were mentioned in some other thread so followed an old link in this thread to find they are still readily available:

Mortymore:
I have IKEA shelves (BERGSHULT / GRANHULT ) over my workbench and they are 30cm deep and that's too short for the SLD1000X, so I made an extended support with an MDF board.

For now, I've installed a pair of banana terminals for sensing wires that run from de SDL rear terminals. The next thing to do when I have the time and the material needed, is to add below the display a pair of BNC connectors for I and V monitoring, to this connections be also easily available at the front.

Mortymore:
Bought some silicon wire 12AWG and 18AWG, 4mm banana plugs, M6 spade terminals, and alligator clips to make a proper cable with sensor wires, mainly to test 12v Lead Acid batteries, 5Ah to 20Ah or so.
