Siglent SDS1104X-E and SDS1204X-E Mixed Signal Oscilloscopes
CodeToInsanity:
Hello!
I have SDS1104X-E. SW: 6.1.37R10 and I want to measure audio (voltage) signal from a speaker and I have a differential probe for this. I also have working access over Ethernet, so for example 'lxi-tools' are working and I am able to send and receive SCPI commands. The main problem is that I want to log the signal and analyze the value later and I need to control recording remotely with a code. The recording maximum length would be three hours.
I have tried the sample-logger function which saves the values to the USB-device, but I haven't yet found a way to start sample-logger with SCPI commands. Is this possible?
I also have made a script "for-loop" that triggers the "C1:WF? DAT" command, but I have problems getting the timing correct here so I would not lose data, data overlapping would not a be a problem. I tried the "roll mode" and I manually trigger the command each 14*tdiv(0.5s for example, 14 is the number of squares in time-axle) and this seems to give me pretty good results.
How should I proceed with this problem? Sample rate does not need to be very high because audio signal is mostly 1000 Hz sine wave. Basically the ideal solution is where I don't need to touch the oscilloscope other than turn it on.

I have this vague feeling it probably has been answered somewhere already, but i can't find the information : how does my sds1104x-e reports "Uboot-OS Version: 8.1", while the official siglent updates page mentions "SDS1xx4X-E Operating System -V3 (Only For 4-Channel models) (Release Date 01.05.23 )" ? The only "8.1" mentionned on the page are related to the sla1016 (which i don't own neither care).
I have a recent firmware (6.1.37r6) even if not the latest, and the other informations on the "about" page are unrelated to the OS.
Does "8.1" mean i have the "V1" ? Does "V1" even exist ?
The pdf included in the previously mentioned download (see attachment) mentions versions "1" "2" "3" without the "V". I'm not even sure what i have.
Bonus question: my hardware is old ("01-03"), and i understand i dont "need" version 3, but i can still install it ? I kinda guess 'yes', but I of course don't want to brick my scope because it's only intended for newer hardware revisions.

V1 was the very first OS now updated to V3 to support the later added featureset.
You can download V3 OS here:
https://int.siglent.com/upload_file/zip/firmware/Oscilloscope/SDS1xx4X-E_EN.zip
To have/support all the latest features the latest R10 FW should be installed also:
https://int.siglent.com/upload_file/zip/firmware/Oscilloscope/SDS1xx4X-E_V6.1.37R10_EN.zip
They are each different install processes, the OS update needs be unzipped and files placed in the root folder of a USB stick (FAT32 4k clusters) and will autoload at boot.
The FW OTOH is selected from any folder from your USB stick and told to run/recall.
Utility (P3 IIRC) > Upgrade and follow your nose. ;)
When both are installed and after a min of 30mins run the SelfCal then you are fully updated and good to go.

I know all of this. I have updated the firmware for sure, and i kinda recall also updating the OS. (but thanks for caring !)
My questions are really focused on "8.1". What is it ? What does it mean ? It seems so unrelated to the official documents / web pages.

As I recall the 8 signifies the product line or maybe UI type and 1 is the OS version.
Not all get 8.3 displayed after installing with some displaying 8.2 but V3 OS can be confirmed installed correctly if you have the Logging or NTP feature working correctly.
I've done many OS installs prior to dispatch without issue.
