Yea, I was closely reading Siglent’s directions last night…
I always wondered how rocket scientists are able recover their gadget a zillion miles away, when it choked on the last command, wrecked the antenna and drained the batteries.
If designed carefully, there is always another Plan-C, bypass, backdoor and spare circuit that can jump in

There's a minor repeatable bug in 1.6.2r1.
After being in XY mode, exiting XY mode enables the digital channels on screen.
This hasn't happened in every instance, but it happens for me when I've been in XY for a while, and/maybe or when the scope is powered on in XY mode.

When powered in X-Y and then you exit.
Already reported...
Has anyone tested the SigScopeLab software with an SDS2000X Plus?
I tried using this software.
Unfortunately, it does not work correctly with SDS2000X+. The timebase is not set correctly, it is in the range from 5 sec/div to 1 sec/div, regardless of what you set from PC. Maybe with the new firmware (when it released) the situation will improve, but for now this software useless for SDS2000X+ owners.
I had same problem using it on my Windows 10 PC which had the language and date/number format set to "German" (i.e. using comma "," as decimal separator). After changing Windows settings to use dot "." as decimal separator, as used in USA, the timebase settings were applied correctly. Maybe this helps.
Is there a reason the screensaver doesn't shut off the backlight? Doesn't seem like it's doing a lot of saving if the backlight is still on.
Is there any reason or evidence to think that a screen saver is even required for this kind of screen?
The backlight is LED, so it's not likely to ever wear out, as it were.

I don't want to waste extra energy on the screen, especially when the screen is supposed to be off. Whether or not the screen itself needs it, I dunno.

I've replaced a a large number of them in flat screen televisions. LED's don't last as long as it is commonly believed.

So have I, but indeed in TVs, especially the cheap ones. they (can) overdrive them for brightness (which people seem to abuse). There's no excuse for that in a scope screen where you are viewing a subdued image and from a meter distance or less.
Actually, what I replace most in TVs are capacitors in the power supplies. Again, mostly in the cheap ones.
I'm into the habit of winding back brightness to 80%.......for no good reason other than not needing full brightness.

Do you have any idea about my question: Is there a reason the screensaver doesn't shut off the backlight?

Zip/zero.
Interesting proposal though, I wonder if the HW supports backlight OFF.

It is under UI control, so that does imply the HW is subject to the SW. This should be possible.
