BTW, where can I get white ID rings for the probes?
There are also miniature rubber rings (baby hair ties) in all kinds of colours..

Dear Forum,
I wondering if is there any way to display in the bode plot the frequecy axis logarithmic, i saw pictures on the internet with other siglent scopes and it was logarithmic. I it in this scope only like this ?

Might already be on the wish list?
Dear Forum,

I have in the config menu of the bode plot 'frequency mode' linear or decade to chose from but the plot has a linear X no matter of what i chose. i also saw pictures from other users that they have log scale on the X axes. Does using an external signal generator give other options ? i don't have a siglent generator i am using the built in AWG
My HD has arrived. But I'm a bit disappointed that its screen (protector) has a lot of scratches on it. Here is my first impression and opinion below:
Positives:
1. The LED indicators are brilliant, they can even change color according to different functions. For example, the TRIGGER indicator changes its color depending on the trigger channel.
2. 12 bits plus ERES can show very small details in large signals.
3. 12 bits-2M-point FFT is very useful.
4. It's very responsive, even though it's 12 bits with deep memory.
Negatives:
1. I don't understand why there are so many scratches on the screen. If they were caused during delivery, why does the center area also have scratches? It shouldn't be like this.
2. The knobs turn loosely and wobble. Another 9-month-old SDS2074X plus of my company is even more secure. I don't know if I'm too picky.
3. I don't know if the soft-plastic knobs have any problem of getting sticky. My 54622D's knobs became sticky with aging.
Wishes:
1. Now I feel that 4 math channels are also needed.
2. Logarithmic frequency scale of FFT is important for this kind of high-resolution spectrum. It helps to investigate low frequency details.
3. Quick Action Key could be designed to pop up a panel (or window) with multiple soft keys to choose from.
4. Customizable functions for Auto, Default and Touch keys. I rarely use them personally. If they could be changed to other shortcut keys, that would be very convenient.
By the way, I'm thinking about getting a screen protector. Do you use one on your oscilloscope?
hi hansibull,
thanks for your sharing, finally I got my account sorted so I can reply in this thread.
I made a CNC version mount adapter based on your model, the AL6061 CNC part is stupidly strong for this uasage. the reason I made it out AL is in my country AL-CNC(+sand blusting+anodizing) is cheaper than 3D printing.
of course, you see I made some grinding on the part as I forget the BNC notch, but anyway I've updated the model based on that, I've also attached the model here in case someone need it.
the screws needed are:
M3*14mm staineless Torx, 5pcs, for fixing the adapter onto the scope;
M4*16mm staineless socket head countersunk screws, 4pcs, for fixing VESA mount(my VESA mount plat is 2mm thick, can adjust the screw length based on the plate thickness)
M4 blind thumb screws, inner thread depth is 6.5mm, 4 pcs
thanks again for sharing the model, cheers!

I'm sure it was told already (Martin72 if I remember correctly) that screws that hold back case are sunk into back cover. So between the scope and holder you need to insert small bushings that will go into hole in the scope back cover and protrude a bit, so all the force is applied to the same place the original screw heads were applying force to, a place at the back of inside of screw hole:
(Sorry for the crude sketch)

hi 2N3055,
thanks for mentioning this, actually I do introduce a boss feature on the scope side of the adapter, the boss height is 3mm, while the sunk holes for screws are around 2.5mm (according to Siglent service manual pp.50, the screws are PWM3*6), so it should work. the countersunk M4s are threaded in the model, it should be easier for tightening.
Btw, another reason I didn't choose the 3D printing is that the perimeters of the screw holes on the 3D printed part will bear large shearing force, regardless of whether the boss feature is introduced or not.
thanks for rising this, cheers!
