--- Quote from: Curtis on July 08, 2016, 03:52:41 am ---Just received my SDG830 that I had ordered online from amazon.com. I paid $242.00 which I thought they had made a mistake on the model number, and I was not  sure they would send the right one, but sure enough it was the 830!! :) The first thing I did was update the firmware to the latest version. Coming from a "heath kit" signal generator I had bought and assembled back in the very early 80, the Siglent 830 is far more cooler. My scope which is a very old Tektroinx's 422 will be my next upgrade. Not to sure which way I go on that, but the "Rigol" DS1054Z is looking to be my best bet.

That's an outstandingly good price, the RRP on the Siglent US website is $332. $90 less  :scared:

Have you installed the FW Version P12R2 linked above? It's an important one.

Curtis:
Yes I did. It came with 1.08 , and now it says 1.08.01.12R2. Not sure what all the update gives me over the old, but I am sure it is good. Does the "P" in the FW mean it is different than what I have ?

No, not at all. When we talk of FW updates we generally just leave the "P" out, it was just that I had copied and pasted from above which was pasted from the website.  ;)

The FW changelogs describe the fixes.

I looked through my accessories, which came with the Siglent SDG 1025 (CD and so forth), and didn't find the EasyTest software mentioned in the service manual for calibrating the signal generator.
Without it not much can be done, can't it ? Does anyone have this software or can it be downloaded somewhere ? Didn't find anything on the Net yet ?
How do you calibrate the unit, which seems to be doable only through a software interface mentionend in the service manual.

So does the unit no longer meet advertised specs?  :-//
Have you run the internal self cal?

Does the UI report any error?
How old is your unit, Siglent products have three years warranty.
