No, it is related to the time it takes for the signal to swing from high to low to high.  Nothing related to how many times the signal transitions levels.

then, is there a way to see a frequency wich is related to trigger and shows how many times per second the frame is triggered?

You can monitor the trigger output at the back of the instrument with a 2nd DSO or a frequency counter with long gate time.

You can also go to the history and turn the list view on. This will show the past trigger events with a timestamp that has microsecond resolution and you also get the delta time between the trigger events automatically calculated.

If you want a deep history (more entries), just limit the record length in the Acquire menu. You don't need 7Mpts and 500MSa/s for a slow serial message, 70kpts and 5MSa/s would be plenty for that.

Hello, I have an SDS1204X-E and have a question.
If I have 2 different signals. For example 1 sine with 100khz and one sine with 95khz. How can I trigger on both signals so that they stand still on the screen?
I miss a alternate mode.

Kind regards

Norbert

Hi Norbert,

Have a look at dave´s video:

Hi Martin

the pattern trigger not really work for sinus.
Example: One sinus 100khz an one with 79khz.
My cheap OWON scope has no problem with that. It has a alternate trigger.
There is a way for a feature request at Siglent?

Tried out on my rigol mso5, pattern doesn´t work ( no OR function), but "Setup/Hold" does.
Maybe the siglent have this trigger type too ?

(Meanwhile I realise, that posting a still image makes no sense..)

just out of curiosity i have also tried your setup and looks like siglent 1000x-e series are unable to trigger signal with different frequency independently...i have tried every setup to make the signal with different frequencies stand still but looks like i am unable to do that with siglent scopes....

See this post for an example using Patten OR H triggering:

Hi, I got it. I use "Logic OR".
But if I change the second frequency, then I have to readjust the level. Not pretty. The best way is to use an alternate trigger.

Happy Christmas

what kind of trigger did you use? normal or auto?

I'm trying to have the scope send a service request (SRQ) when the trigger is ready or a signal is acquired. So no status polling would be needed.
(I have SRQ call-backs working on a Keithley DMM6500, which is quite handy.)

Those states can be read using the INR? command, reading the "Internal State Change Register". (Which works using the polling method)

The *STB? query returns the status byte register, bit 0 would be set when a change in the "Internal State Change Register" occurs when the corresponding bit is enabled in the "Internal State Change Enable Register".

That bit 0 can be enabled to actually send a service request using *SRE 1
-- that seems to be working: *SRE? returns 1

There's only a slight problem, the command INE, which would enable bits in the "Internal State Change Enable Register" does not seem to function.
(That is not entirely surprising because a lot of this stuf is not in the documentation, but the scope should be able to work this way IMO.)

Siglent documentation however refers to enabling the event bit, but does not explain how.

Google finds this document:
http://cdn.teledynelecroy.com/files/manuals/dda-rcm-e_05.pdf
or
http://cdn.teledynelecroy.com/files/manuals/wm-rcm-e_rev_d.pdf
Somehow LeCroy and Siglent seems to be related when it comes to SCPI. Other LeCroy documents served me well. But the INE command, which would be a most logical command, does not work.

Any suggestions?

I thought the SDS1104X-E only has a memory depth of 14 Mpts. If you have the timebase set to 5.00ms/div the display shows the a memory depth at 17.5 Mpts (see the below image). Is this a bug or you are getting 17.5 Mpts.

I've been playing around a bit writing some Python 3 code to talk to my SDS1204E-X.  The screenshot below is a (pseudo) real time 3D waterfall display in which keeps track of the last 512 traces and scrolls them in time.  Shown is a Lorentz pulse that is AM modulated by a sine wave.  The latest trace is  imaged in the window in the top right corner.  If anyone is interested, I'll post it to PyPI.  It runs on Linux (Arch Linux with i3wm in this screenshot).  It should work on other distributions.  It should work on Windows, but I have no way to check that.

Nice graph!
I'm interested. (For now mostly to checkout the code/scope interactions for learning purposes)

Great.  I'll finish packaging it up and will provide the links here.  Give me a day or so.

Very nice! Can you do a small video?

For those interested, in this thread I did some lengthy measurements on the accuracy of my channel 1 offset dac. Eventually with the purpose of correcting errors to use the scope for precise measurements (around 0.1 mV precision in the -1.9 to 1.9 V range).

I have uploaded this to PyPI,   one should be able to install this with pip install --user siglentwaterfall   
Windows users, sorry -- not sure of the exact command -- but should be able to install it with pip, I just don't know about the --user part.

I suggest running this with a command like
Code: [Select]
siglent -n tcpip::192.168.2.201 --waterfall -c 256
Replace the -n parameter with something appropriate for your scope.  If it is on Ethernet, change the address.  The -n can be any Visa instrument address.
I have the best results limiting the columns to 256 (as above).  Scope settings work best with the 14k memory depth, fast acquisition.  Also, wired Ethernet provides better results.

I have never tried to take a screenshot video -- let me work on that.
