I got two PDF certificates, sent via e-mail by Batterfly, with a big Siglent logo as well as the codes on them, both as barcode and as alphanumeric string.
One for each option is standard.
With install instructions ?

The PDF license we get has alphanumeric and barcodes on it too but must be first redeemed at the Siglent license generation site where then you can chose to download another PDF with the actual option license code for the prescribed instrument (model and SN#) that we can Copy/Paste from and/or print and include in the box when we dispatch.
Maybe you tried to install the redeem code ?

We install purchased options so the instrument is right and ready for work !

You are right. My bad: I didn't bother reading the whole babbling.. I just eyed the code to compare them with the ones generated by the keygen!  |O ^-^

It says:

Thanks for your purchase. The option card info is below. With this, go to the URL below to get the option key and the
installation instructions.

Hello all, what is the status of the current BW hack for the 100MHZ 4 channel model?
Im debating this vs the Rigol 5000 series.

Welcome to the forum.

Quite simple with the Python script actually but a correction to your thoughts as SDS2104X Plus while badged as 100 MHz is actually much closer to 200 MHz as our BW tests indicated it was actually -3dB at ~185 MHz.

Right I see and that's without the hack?
What about after adding the 350MHz  BW to the 100MHz model specifically.

Why stop at that ?
These are a 500 MHz design and opening all the taps gets you to ~600 MHz but only 350 MHz with all channels active. Siglent added a channel management system so when a 3rd channel is enabled a BW filter is engaged to restrict system BW to 350 MHz to restrict aliasing artifacts.

Do some more reading here and in the SDS2000X Plus thread.  ;)

Should the code returned from the "MCBD?" command be the same as that generated by the script for option '100M'? I have an SDS2104X Plus purchased in a promotion with decoding. Updated to 1.5.2R2. I'm waiting for the decode option codes to email me. I wanted to check if the ones generated by the script work but they are incorrect (entered via 'software options'). Is it possible that something is changed in this firmware version?

And if they are different? How else to check it?
EDIT:
I checked. I confused the ID with the SN  ::) Now it's correct.

In logic terms, if they are different, then you got an error in your code generation.

No, I bought it new.
I didn't manage the extension at first, but then I managed it.

According to the options, I only have the 350MHz option.
Does this mean that the SDS2102X-Plus cannot be expanded to 200 and 500MHz?

Welcome to the forum.

While these BW options don't officially exist it doesn't mean they won't work. Have you tried them ?
Some report the 500 MHz license can only be applied after the 350 MHz one has been.

2ch SDS2000X Plus are not overly popular and the only one that comes to mind that has one is member mawyatt and you might find mention or screenshots from his in the SDS2000C Plus thread or in one of his posts.

We have a SDS2104X+ and 2102X+. Both "enhanced" and have measured BWs of over 500MHz, the 2102X+ shows as SDS2352X+ tho, while the SDS2104X+ shows as a SDS2504X+.

@Andy.
These SDS2102X+ DSOs have the 10 bit mode which limits the BW to 100MHz, for maximum BW make sure you have the Max BW set for the Channel and are using 8 bit mode :-+

Best,

Hi,

I feel misunderstood. :)
After I made the only bandwidth option (350), no other BW option is now available.
The device is now recognized as SDS 2104X Plus, that can't be.

The Sys info page shows the new model # after a successful hack and the Options info page displays temp and permanent option status.

AFAIK you only have FG option permanent at this time......you have some remaining work to do.  :)

How can I increase the bandwidth to 500 if there is no option for it?

Hi,

The "steps" between the (official) bandwith-maximum are not mentioned in the options table.
What the 500Mhz option oncerns, you´ll have the 500Mhz only on 2 channels, one of each ADC.
Enabling the second channel of the same ADC reduces the bandwith automatically back to 350Mhz.
Following this logic only one channel could be used on a 2-ch scope.
Maybe this is a reason why the 2-ch do not have the "official" 500Mhz option avaible.
