Using (and living with) Siglent SDS1000X-E Series Oscilloscopes

Read my post #16 and his reply #17. If he did what he said he did--both probes to one channel, switching the connections at the scope and observing no change or reversal of the phase shift--that scope is borked.
I have no idea what could possibly be going on with that scope, but something isn't right. 29ns is huge for any physical delay and the only thing I can think of is that there is a factory-only calibration constant (or at least not done during self-cal) that has a range greater than necessary and that value has accidentally been set to the min or max somehow.

You may be correct but I'm not convinced as yet.
SimonM needs to do a factory reset on his AWG so to eliminate any possibility the SDG1032X is not the source of phase difference.
His last screenshots show ~180o phase difference @ 15 MHz and there's no way it should be that far out.
I believe something has been overlooked.

I/we mean SimonM's dealer in the UK.
Definitely the scope, first 2 images in Reply#13

CH2 overwrites CH1, but CH3 doesn't overwrite CH1
"His last screenshots show ~180o phase difference @ 15 MHz and there's no way it should be that far out"
1/15M = 66.6ns, half a cycle is 33ns which is the 29ns error, getting close to 180 deg for 15MHz.

How could the SDG be the issue if he only used one channel??
The phase difference just seems to be about the same 29ns lag in the 3/4 ADC, although it seems to reduce a bit at 500MSa/s.

It certainly seems like something that you eventually figure out and slap yourself in the head, "DOH!" and wonder what you were thinking. I just can't think of any user setting that would cause this.

I had to read Reply#13 3 times the first time, and now again so 4 times.
"29ns is huge for any physical delay"
I could imagine the PCB needs a fixed 29ps delay somewhere and the firmware is using ns instead. :)
