4 ohms is OK as long as it doesn't change.  My Siglet PP215s are all about 3.5 ohms. 

Well-made probes from Probemaster.

--- Quote from: Calambres on July 08, 2023, 08:42:39 am ---Well, following my quest to controlling the SDG1032X from my SDS1104X-E for Bode plotting easily and conveniently, I cannot do it by using the rear USB-B sockets from both machines, I mean, using an USB-B to USB-B cable from one unit to the other.

"AWG not detected"  ::)

If I connect the back USB-B from the AWG to the scope's front USB-A then it all goes hunky dory. On the other hand, if I connect the scope's back USB-B to the AWG's front USB-A, no deal!

Aren't all USB connectors the same?
Am I  doing something wrong?



P.S.: In case you're wondering, I want to keep both machines connected permanently without cables hanging from the front of the units and/or having to remove the front attached USB stick I keep in the scope all the time.

P.S.2: Also, the second USB at the back of the scope is already used by the WiFi dongle.

[EDIT: typo]

No.

USB B is Device USB, that is the device under control from a USB A connection.

Use either of the USB cables that came with each of these instruments with type A in the DSO and end type B in the AWG.

Yes you can run out of USB A sockets with these DSO's however solutions are very cheap:

Tautech, I'm glad to say that the solution you cited for the scope's shortage of USB ports works perfectly!

Thanks a lot for the hint!  :-+

Hi, just got myself an SDS1104x-e and I have a question about the intensity knob. My understanding from the manual is that with no menu active turning the knob should adjust the intensity. However this does not happen on my scope, the knob is generally inactive in this case. Moreover, if I have a menu item selected and I hide the menu with the menu button then the control still controls the now hidden menu option, which can cause a bit of confusion. Am I misunderstanding something about how this is supposed to work?

EDIT: seems like I was reading the wrong manual(!) and in fact this is not how the intensity control works on this model. Odd, seeing as it's still labelled "intensity" but oh well

Can you give an example of which menu still works when it's hidden? I've tried a few & although I still get a beep when the menu buttons along the bottom are pressed, nothing actually changes. The intensity/adjust knob light goes out too & the knob doesn't do anything.

What firmware is installed?

I agree about the labelling of the intensity knob. Seems strange to call it that when you still have to go through menus to change the intensity. 🤷‍♂️

Performa01:
Well, that's just history.

Originally, the "Intensity" knob controlled the screen intensity by default, but was also used for item selection as soon as a menu was selected. However, you can have a timeout for menus and after it has expired, the menu is gone and the knob controls the intensity again. Many folks (including me) have sweared a lot when they turned the knob without looking closely, expecting to alter the previously selected item - but changed the intensity instead, just because the menu has timed out in the meantime. AT one point, Siglent quite obviously changed the default behaviour and disabled the intensity control. Intensity is not a function you would use very frequently on a digital scope anyway.

Long story short, the knob once worked as advertised, but not anymore. At all times, something like "Universal Control" was the way more appropriate term for this knob. Unfortunately, FW-updates cannot change the front panel labels... ;)
