They are just as easy to un-hack.

Gotcha !

I had that scope hacked to 1 GHz for some years until earlier this year a customer wanted it so it went to them as I had the new 2 GHz model.
It should stack well against your LeCroy but it also has the new (for Siglent) fixed mem mode introduced in a recent firmware to align capability with both SDS6000A and SDS2000K HD models.


--- Quote ---Based on several of your comments, I'm interested in seeing how a brand new Siglent compares with my used repaired vintage DSOs.  I've never damaged any of my scopes from normal use so no stress testing  but I do expect the encoders to work.  The 30 return policy should be more than enough time to compare them.    I assume with your mentioning hacking them,  it doesn't effect the return policy.

If, and if a latest SDS5000X still uses the Python script to generate licenses they are as easy to hack as unhack.
Regardless, if the licensing scheme has changed as it has for SDS6000A hacks have been found for these too but as yet they are not public.
The great Toy Wonder can help if/as required.

You're welcome to PM if required.

I was looking at Siglent's matrix for their higher end products and first thing I noticed was a lack of a metric for Ethernet.   Looking in more detail, it seems some of the products support it.  So I went hunting for a programmers manual and found this from 2014

https://siglentna.com/USA_website_2014/Documents/Program_Material/SIGLENT_Digital_Oscilloscopes_Remote%20Control%20Manual.pdf

So it seems that the newer products should all support it.  I think to sort out  some of the basics,  I just need to DL the manuals and dig in.  For my 20 year old WM, I had added a 1Gb Ethernet card to get the transfer speeds up.  Hard to believe anything made today wouldn't run circles around it.   I'll spend some time doing some research on them in the next few weeks.  Arb encoder firmware first....

SDS5000X:

SDS6000A:
https://int.siglent.com/u_file/download/22_07_25/SDS_ProgrammingGuide_EN11C.pdf
And if the quite nice 12 bit SDS2000X HD is sufficient for your needs:
https://int.siglent.com/u_file/download/22_11_18/SDS2000X%20HD_ProgrammingGuide_EN11C.pdf

Between the top 2 series, 6000A uses a 5GSa/s ADC for each channel whereas all other current models do the interleaving thing, sharing 2 channels on each ADC.
SDS5000X has individual controls which suits some older users not willing to adopt multiplexed vertical controls.

Now why did I think you had SDG2042X ?  :-//
I linked you the wrong firmware for SDG1032X that I saw in your video. Which have you got to put me outta misery wondering which ?
