Siglent SDS1104X-E 'Upgraded' to 1204 - Which Firmware ?
(1/2) > >>
TomKatt:
I searched the forums but did not find anything appeared relevant...

I 'upgraded' my Siglent SDS1104X-E to the 200 Mhz version using the serial generator code.  No issues and it seems to work fine and now identifies itself as the SDS1204X-E model, which makes sense.  I see there is a firmware update available for the SDS1104X-E model (and the 1102 + 1202), but curiously there does not seem to be any release (or past history) at all for 4 channel 200 Mhz SDS1204X-E models?

Has anyone been in this situation that can suggest which firmware file version I should use?  I'm assuming that the SDS1104X-E firmware is the one to use in my case.  If the update complains about incorrect model, I guess I could 'downgrade' my scope to it's original configuration, apply the fw update and then 're-upgrade' it again, since it's just option serial codes.

Any information would be appreciated - thanks!

Edit - list of FW files available.  No 1204 version at all?  Strange.

You tell "there"...  I ask Where.

Here are official FW dowloads

https://www.siglenteu.com/service-and-support/firmware-software/digital-oscilloscopes/#sds1000x-e-series

As you can see there is SDS1xx4X-E   nowhere is FW just for SDS1104X-E because both of these 4 channel versions have exactly same FW. (And OS)

TomKatt:
LOL - just edited my post to include the list of fw files.

Even if there was a 1204 version available, which would I use in my case?

OMG - I was completely looking at that and did not see it.  I kept seeing 11x4 somehow. 

Thanks for point the obvious out to me lolz.

SDS1xx4X-E includes the SDS1204X-E

As far as I know, the latest.  Maybe Tautech will chime in if that's not the case?

Note that there are both firmware and OS updates.  They are at times related - in that a feature enabled by new firmware might not show in the UI unless the OS is new enough.  Or something like that.
