Siglent SDS1104X-E In-Depth Review
kahe40:
yeah, a really outstanding work, there is another performance about SDS2000-v2

from the same @Performa01, there one can harvest a lot of knowledge too.

For some this might be an important point not touched up in this review.
The remote (LXI/VXI11) programming speed of the SDS1000X is more than 10 times faster than e.g. the Rigol DS1000Z series.
This is useful if one needs to implement a poor mans data logger polling sample data from the scope at e.g. 100Hz.
I mean, we are talking about ~25 requests/second vs. 250+ requests/second here. A significant difference.

Thank you all for the nice comments! Today I can finally provide some updates.
New revisions of all documents have been uploaded in the old posts (see EDIT notes there) and review parts 6 and 7 have been newly released in Reply #3.
The new parts cover Math, FFT, Mask test and Web Server. Unfortunately, FFT is such a huge topic so it didn’t fit into a single 1MB document and I had to split it between parts 6 and 7.
The review is still not complete and I’ll certainly not stop at this point.

Well, the AC trigger indicator has been there in an early version of the V2 firmware, but back then the AC trigger level was static, hence didn’t quite work as expected. I’ve been in touch with Siglent about this and it took several iterations until I was finally completely happy – but the trigger level indicator somehow vanished during this process and never returned, even though I’ve mentioned it a few times ;)
It probably is a speed problem. Just like tracking cursors cannot follow a dynamic signal very well (only the cursor lines, the measurements do!) I suspect it would be the same with the trigger level indicator, so Siglent may have decided to better hide it :)
As I said in the review, I’m not happy with that, but it really is only a minor inconvenience in my book. On the old analog scopes we had no trigger level indicator at all, no matter the trigger coupling ;)
