I ordered one to test, will know tomorrow afternoon.   

It didn't work?!

Nope it did not, I did try. Drivers are not on the scope.

Thanks for trying.

Sorry that I missed your question, but Rob has answered it. It has been long enough that I don't really recall, but 5 min. sounds about right.

I am at a loss I got the script and all the SCIP information SN so on. I opened PuTTY and connected but I can't type, the cursor is not blinking. I am using port 5024 and my IP what am I missing?

If you're trying to access the scopes OS, < STOP, that's not needed.
Do some more homework.

What kind of help is that do some more homework. I can't find any more info and only trying to follow the instructions.

Can you access the webserver SCPI command page ?
Follow the link in reply #1 in this thread.

With the right command and license you install licenses with just Copy/Paste and if wrong nothing happens.
While any SCPI command returns Success when sending, correct or not, you can't do any damage to the OS and brick your scope.

Poking around with Telnet is not advised and not needed.

[ericwil76]

Man, these instructions are not clearly written. It appeared I needed to SSH into the scope which failed for me for some reason. Why those instructions even exist I have no idea. I did just now successfully run the key generator Python script in an online debugger and was able to get a return of my upgrade codes.

So now I have to enter the code "MCBD ##########" into the WebServer SCPI command line?

How am I supposed to check my codes if I can not access the scope over telnet?

With a SCPI command.

[ericwil76]

I entered my 100M key in the SCPI command line and nothing says command sent successfully but scope still only recognized as 70M

My scope id and sn are spot on exact.

Still stumped

[ericwil76]

Ok I got it to work I was off by a " - " in the model number and was finally able to get the codes to match and successfully upgrade to 100M

How do I do a factory default reset. Nothing in manual been all over menus can't find a factory reset?

I was about to suggest "RTFM", but indeed I can't find that info either. Section 29.1 of the manual states that the "Default" button on the front panel has two modes, either "reset to last saved default" or "reset to factory default". But where the heck do I choose between these modes? Can't find anything in the manual or in the scope's Utility menu.

According to siglent:

Oscilloscope Hardware Reset

1. Disconnect all USB, LAN, and input cables. ...
2. Power cycle the instrument by pressing the power button.
3. Immediately begin pressing the MATH button repeatedly at a rate of 2 to 3 times a second while the instrument boots up.
4. If the instrument does not boot up properly, retry steps 2 through 4.

HOWEVER, i don't see a need to do this, and i'm not even sure this is the kind of reset we're looking for. This may completely reset the license keys to factory default also. When i upgraded my SDS-812X HD to an SDS-822X HD (100MHz -> 200MHz) last night, i rebooted normally, used the default button, then ran a self calibration as the scope had been running for over 30 minutes. I have had no issues. My scope identifies as SDS822X HD, has the upgraded memory (and wave form capture rate i suppose?). Those reset instructions are for "In some extreme hardware errors, the oscilloscope may become unresponsive or “hang” during the boot sequence."

Hey,

So what can be upgraded on the siglent sds804x hd? Only the bandwidth to 200 MHz and the memory depth to 100 Mpts?
Regards

Note to future owners - the serial number string is case sensitive.  I originally entered the serial number using all caps but noted that the calculated code for 70Mhz did not match the code returned by the MCBD? query - knowing it needed to be the same code I then pasted my serial number as displayed on the SCPI Home screen and ran the script again.  When the script code for 70MHz matched my scope's code I then proceeded to upgrade.

How do you find the "SCPI Home screen?"

I may have answered this myself...  I just changed my serial number (queried from *IDN?) to all lower case and my MCBD query matches my scope as it is currently at 70MHz.

Are we to assume that putting the original code in will put the scope back to original?

Does anyone know if the latest firmware breaks this script?

We are.

Does not.

Someone has done a video tutorial of the process:

Just got an SDS800X-HD and the script work perfect.

[rs38]

does it also work with the new firmware? und does the hack "survive" a firmware update?

It does. I got a brand new SDS804, updated it to 1.1.6.2, then used the script to get it to 200MHz and unlock PA

Interestingly, though, I don't have an option to activate AWG and MSO. Not sure if they become available only after the corresponding devices are connected to the scope

The need for MSO & AWG licences were removed in V1.1.3.8 firmware last year.

MSO & AWG modules can now be connected to any SDS800X HD without the need for licensing.
