Siglent SDS1104X-E In-Depth Review
tautech:
Yep Marty these 2 probes are physically identical.
Your mention is the first I've seen of any problems with the hook hat connection.
Have to tried swapping hats to confirm just the hat is the issue ?
In a YT video Defpom did with my demo unit (mid '17 manufacture) he had issues with the hat's coming apart, that is the plastic retainer was popping out of the hat so we sent Siglent this info for them to pass onto their probe supplier. Haven't seen any further reports of this problem so it must have been sorted. :phew:

The '215 is certainly more costly (I'm surprised at just how cheap the PP510 is versus even the Owon T5100's I had on my previous scope... those seemed pretty solid to me), but is basically the same (particularly the hook end)?

I would have to say that the (my) PP510 and PP215 are not physically identical, but – and this is a big “but” – I cannot really comment on the current situation.
Like most other brands, Siglent do not manufacture the standard probes themselves but rely on some company specialized in probe design and manufacturing.
My SDS1000X-E DSOs are very early pre-production units and the supplied probes are most likely not from the latest batch. Siglent might have even decided to change the probe manufacturer at some point. I would still expect the electrical performance to remain pretty much unchanged, since all probes are manufactured according to Siglent’s specifications, which ensure the best possible match with their scopes in terms of HF compensation.
I got my PP215 in Q1/2017, PP510 in Q3/2017.
At a first glance, they look very similar (see Probes_PP510_PP215_01.jpg, PP510 is at the top), but there are major differences in the electrical specifications already (see Data_PP510_PP215.png)
The voltage rating is marked on the probes and reads slightly different on the PP215 when compared to the datasheet: 600V DC PK AC CAT II
The tips are gold plated on my PP215 (see Tips_PP510_PP215_01.jpg, PP510 is at the top).
The hooks are different too. More like wire type on PP510, blade type on PP215.
The internals of the hooks look slightly different too (see Hooks_PP510_PP215_01.jpg, PP510 is at the left).
Both hooks fit perfectly fine on their respective probes, there really is no difference of practical relevance.
Tautech should have seen much more recent versions of the PP510 and PP215, so his comments are ultimately more relevant for the current situation.

It’s a bit ridiculous, but I had to split the review for this humble little AWG into four parts (three would have worked too, but I didn’t want to tear the sine wave chapter apart). So here are the first two parts:
SAG1021 Review 1-8
- Operation
- Zero Adjust
- Frequency Accuracy
SAG1021 Review 8-25
- Waveforms
-- Sine
--- Amplitude Accuracy
--- Harmonic Distortion
--- Phase Noise

I’ve read your review, thanks for all the effort!
I’ve found the following issue
https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/sds1104x-e-and-sag1021-unwanted-dc-offset/
Any thought or suggestions?
You did some precise DC measurements, did you dc-offset the AWG using the scope?
Rerouter:
The scope auto zero gets generally within 3-5 dac steps, the manual zero gets better, if it drifts, it seems to be a slow drift. but is does change after a week powered down.
Cpx:
Does this scope have have channel digital filers hidden somewhere?
From my current research i couldn't find any :(.
Are there plans to be added in the future like in the CML series ?
Thanks! :-+
