Siglent SDS1104X-E In-Depth Review
<< < (35/48) > >>
Performa01:
Yes, the Testec MF312 was not a good match for the little SDS1202X-E. It had the worst frequency flatness up to 200MHz, but the Siglent SP2030 was equally bad around 40MHz.

The PP215 are cheap probes and their tips cannot be replaced. However you could try to sharpen them with a grindstone...

Other than that, I would really recommend to get the Picotech TA131. They have nice sharp tips and the x10 switch has enough mechanical resistance so that it cannot be operated by accident.
I have heard from some other member who was able to get this probes fairly cheap on eBay. So you might try that.

If I get a bit of time I can sweep TT HF212 on Keysight. I don't have a proper leveled gen, but SDG6052X should be good enough for probe comparison..

That would be interesting - even though it is not a definitive indication how this probe would perform on a Siglent SDS1204X-E.

Amplitude flatness of the SDG6000X is excellent - better than most levelled RF generators. Look here:

It's a deal then. I don't have Siglent scope, but I will sweep both Testec and Pico 131 to get some comparison that could be at least partially correlated with your measurements..
BillB:
Looks like the Pico 131 are discontinued, replaced by TA386.
