the chinese arent big utube addicts, they have there own streaming video hosts.
so there may be lots of stuff - you just cant see it.
I've managed to dig up fairly obscure stuff before, but in this case I'm drawing a blank.

Apparently it will be early Q1 2018, considering a comment has been made that release is much less than 6 months away. The end of Q1 was pretty much exactly 6 months away at that point, so it would have to be januari or februari at worst, but I would consider Valentines Day to be the boundary between much less and just under.

(Disclaimer: Italy-oriented question ;-) )
Hi Simone, do you think that for Italy it will be possible to preorder and pay before dicember 31st? Because I guess this DSO is elegible for Superammortamento/Industria4.0 concessions (for non italian people, those are a kind of una-tantum tax relief) ?

Tnx

I'm coming from the same angle. It would be beneficial for me to make the investment in 2017, although I could compensate a bit by advancing other expenditures.

I was thinking to buy a sds1202x-e or a ds1054z this week because I need it, but now I've seen this new model. I don't know what to do :)  If I need to wait 6 months, I'll buy another one

Here too I'm in the same boat. I've bought a Velleman WFS210 to bridge the gap, even though I know it cannot be compared to the two real oscilloscopes. I hope it will at least keep me going until the reviews for the SDS1204X-E start coming in.

I do not live in Italy, but I think you should ask this question to your tax authorities.
In my country the company can create a "pro forma invoice", but you can use this invoice to deduct VAT and can not use it to deduct income tax (maybe the opposite, i don't remember exactly, but this shows problems with a tax deduction).

I would say it is possible if they will not need the delivery note.
I will investigate with our admin office and come back to you.
Please be aware we are not informed about a release date at this moment.

Any news on availability in Europe/Italy? This french store already lists it (with wrong picture) and seems to accept preorders:

Hmmm thanks for posting this. Very strange since Siglent doesn’t want to roll out the unit in EU before they have well tested it into the domestic market.
However we will check and post more official info when possible!

Just had a official reply from Siglent China. Public European launch date is planned for November the 26th.
At the moment there are not official info about quantity availability and pricing.
Keep you posted  :popcorn:

Wow, this unit has 14 MHz of memory!

Joking aside, I see it apparently has 1 GB/s per channel, which is nice. It's also what you'd want in a 200 MHz scope, but it's good the have that confirmed. It does seem to have less memory than a fully upgraded DS1054Z, which surprises me a bit. Other manufacturers seem to consistently have a lot less memory, despite the Rigols selling like hotcakes.

It can imagine like this: (even if construction is different but functionally like this)

It have 4 channels. Or is it better say 2 + 2 channel.

Channels 1 and 2 have one ADC and shared 14M memory.
Channels 3 and 3 have one ADC and shared 14M memory.

ADC is single channel 1GSa/s (internally interleaved 2 channels) and two channel both 500MSa/s

Case A
If what ever single channel is alone in use it have 1GSa/s and max 14M memory.

Case B
If all 4 channels or what ever 3 channels simultaneously in use all have 500MSa/s and all have 7M max memory length.

Case C
If in channel pair 1&2  is only one channel in use this channel have 1GSa/s and 14M max memory lenghth.

Case D
If in channel pair 3&4  is only one channel in use this channel have 1GSa/s and 14M max memory lenghth.

Case E 
Case C  and  Case D  (= two channels in use, both 1GSa/s and both 14M max mem)

Case F
If in channel pair (1&2 or 3&4) both channels are in use they have 500MSa/s max and 7M memory max.

500MSa/s is not enough for 200MHz sinewave when Sinc interpolation is used if we want accurate amplitude information and time window is short - as it need be short in oscilloscope. But it is as usable as 250MSa/s for 50MHz.  Good amplitude accuracy can typically reach if input frequency is fsample /5.

Here attached image how it looks typically with different sample frequency  vs input sinewave frequency.
2.5 means that (example) 200MHz input and sample frequency  200*2.5=500MHz (Msa/s)

Many peoples have heard that all is ok if fin is < fNyquist (this is how rules are misunderstooded). Top in image is fin = fNyquist/1.25


Attached image is not from Siglent SDS1204X-E
It is from some my own teaching material without all finnish language explanations.
(btw, also you can find Agilent-Keysight paper about "number 5 thumb rules")
bottom of image there is multiplier  5. (f sample is 5 times f signal)

I drive a LEC (low el. consumption) BEV car. Smoke exhaust pipes - go to museum. In Finland quite all electric power is made using nuclear, wind, solar and water.

The French advert says 1 GS/s per channel. Having less than that would be a bit of a letdown, as using full speed and sampling would be less ideal. You've demonstrated nicely why.

We'll see :)

French can advert what ever but this is really not fair way how to go.  Also in this ad they link wrong data sheet ( SDS1202X-E data sheet)  in this advert and wrong image. Why they do this shit - unknown.

What I previously told is how it is and this is explained also in chinese data sheet and manual. But perhaps this french is not interested about fact checking = trumpth, not truth.

Fair enough. Information from a seller with MHz for memory size shouldn't be taken at face value.

Seems more like using a crap scope on purpose to support nonsense. It is well known sinc/x reconstruction works well for frequencies little over fs/2.5. See the attached picture (sampling mode with infinite persistence on):

There are small lies, big lies and then there is what is on the screen of your oscilloscope.

Yes with better scopes where Sinc filter parameters are better. It depends...
(Also it looks that chinese GoodWill have ok.)

Example this.



Between images cable changed due to bad BNC connector.

How bode plot was made? Does it come with a built-in 30MHz signal generator?

Yes but the FG is an option which is not particularly cheap because it's an external box:
