Which have you got to put me outta misery wondering which ? --- End quote --- That's a SDG1032X. The second video shows the version number. Current at the time we purchased it. Still, I reprogrammed it for the peeps who felt the firmware would fix it. Scopewise, I would be looking for something similar to my 15 year old Waveblunder 64Xi. I got it used in rough shape. I melted the cheap plastic case back together, LeCroy provided a new set of knobs that don't fall off every time it's used, it got an SSD upgrade (that the experts claimed would be problematic) and I straightened that cheap stamped metal case. Then there's the poor rework from the factory which was claimed to have been caused from the higher operating temperatures and poor mechanical design. It's PC based and has a coin cell battery buried deep inside. I've had to change it since I put it into service which is no fun. Best to keep your screw gun charged. It's easy enough to control over Ethernet but it's not very fast at moving data. Sadly they only support 100Mb and I can't drop in faster Ethernet card like I did with my fast scope. It throws off a lot of heat which isn't too bad in the winter but can be a problem in the summer. The best part about this scope is how it recals. Use normal trigger, wait an hour for that signal you want to capture and what's it do? Recals. You turn off the auto cal and whats it do? Recals. I hate to say how many times I have lost the data I wanted to capture due to the recal. It's not all doom and gloom. It's been my primary scope over the last several years. It has decent bandwidth, sample rates, memory depth and update rates. Screen size is also good. Brochure is here if you want to recommend something similar: https://www.atecorp.com/atecorp/media/pdfs/data-sheets/lecroy-waverunner-xi_series_brochure.pdf Any idea what the Ethernet connection speeds are and sustained transfer rates are for higher end Siglents? Is there any benchmark data available? |

(and does !) All I've ever seen it do was pause the scope momentarily however I don't know what effect it has when the scope is doing something really challenging. --- Quote ---It's been my primary scope over the last several years.

Is there any benchmark data available? --- End quote --- As mentioned only 10/100M as per datasheet however to attempt to give some reference point I've just looked up LAN spec for the diminutive 4ch X-E and darned if the LAN spec isn't listed but I'll still point you to what I had in mind as when member lundmar developed LXI-Tools it wasn't so much the port speed that mattered but how efficiently the requests were managed. https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/open-source-lxi-tools-and-liblxi-v1-0-released-for-gnulinux/msg1394796/#msg1394796 I can't see the 5kX and 6kA DSO's being any more sluggish when in fact these later scopes not only offer a webserver too but also remote server file management. SDS6054A is the best fit however no specials on this currently and list is ~$8k which makes the SDS5054X at under $6k on promo with 1GHz free BW upgrade and free optional decodes I2S, FlexRay, 1553B, CANFD, SENT and Manch look quite attractive. |

Nice thread tangent. When can we return to picking on the OP >:D |
