Siglent SDS1000X-HD - Bugs and "features" thread.
BreakingOhmsLaw:
Hi, I'm starting a thread to track and list all bugs and strange observations for the Siglent 1000X-HD series.
Current firmware is
1.1.0.2
Feel free to confirm it, I am not ruling out a PEBKAC on my side.
Bug list:
#1 Activating cursors menu during FFT makes FFT very slow.
EDIT: Seems to be related to the presence of the floating menu, not the cursors. When the floating menu is active, and for ~2 seconds after it disappears, the FFT function slows down from ~15 updates per second to 2 updates per second.
To reproduce: Feed 1MHz sine into CH1, Press Default -> Math -> Function -> Freq-Analysis -> FFT. Open and close the floating menu.
#2 SMB share function suggests wrong format.
The format suggested by the settings window is //server/share. I only got this to work with backslashes \\server\share on a Synology NAS SMB share.
#3 Probe Check function is faulty.
In the probe setup, there is a function to automatically detect and adjust the probe attenuation, using the internal cal signal as reference. Every 10:1 probe I've tried wound up setting a 30ish:1 attenuation.
Note: confirmed as fixed in firmware 1.1.3.1
#4 Decode function menu does not show the custom channel labels.
You can set a custom label for each channel. The decode function still only shows CH1..2..3..4 when selecting the signals instead of showing the custom label.
EDIT: This refers to the menu where you select which channel is which protocol signal. Analysis/Decode/Protocol signals This seems to be the expected behavior, the labels only show up next t the traces in the main window.
#5 Firmware update of SLA1016 requires a reboot instead of reconnect.
If you update the firmware of the SLA1016 with the scope, it prompts you to reconnect the SLA1016 after completion. However, the unit did not recognize the SLA1016 any more until I rebooted the scope.
#6 Possible I²C decode issue
see: https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/siglent-sds1000x-hd-bugs-and-features-thread/msg5433341/#msg5433341
Note: Expected behavior as explained by 2N3055 below. Actually Siglent does it better than some "premium" brands.
#7 Acquisition spontaneously fails completely. Reinstalling firmware required.

Present in 1.1.3.1
CHRISTMAS WISHLIST (take notes Siglent!)
- Add a NTP server setting. It's running Linux, shouldn't be too hard.

This surprises me a little, as the software should be pretty much the same for 800X HD and 1000X HD.
Very stupid question:
It is not enough to call up the function and store a label name there, you have to activate it again afterwards - you will have done that ?

Forward slashes are normal SMB share format for Samba/Linux syntax. Backslashes are for Windows syntax.
With the scope OS being Linux-based, I would assume //server/share is expected. Are you saying the scope requires the Windows backslash format to work, but is still prompting you to use forward slashes?

I do believe so:
EDIT:
Martin, I may have not made myself clear enough. I am referring to this:

That is the case.
