It's interesting how there is no other electronics vlogs that are enjoyable.I mean this guy made me watch a review a device I'm not even interested in.

That Enpirion part has a built-in inductor

Wicked review mate. Allways keeping the viewer's interested.

Dave looks like a double oven reflow job, they might have placed the passives first. It just looks like the passives drifted off their pad a bit, and then the actives were put down. You can see a lot of bubbling in the solder joint. Anyways you were showing a bunch of inductors in a group time 9:39 that might indicate config options. But to me they would just change the DAC board in front to change the instrument frequency. Well Dave totally COOL review of a product, nice in and out shot. 4k review might have to wait for some of us to see. But keep your electrons flowing and don't get shorted Cheers.

Teardown is the best part of my week

Nicely produced video Dave

What a sharp and clean design, ive never seen a psu look so nice as well :-D Looks like you get your moneys worth.

Awesome deal! I'm a fan of older stuff, but new is cool

Nice. They have a great big grill for airflow, and then cover 75% of it with a ribbon cable.

Enpirion have really good converters. Using them in all my designs. You will understand when use one.

those Sitara processors are great. I haven't used one myself yet, but they are capable with EtherCAT, the only chip with integrated EtherCAT that is on the market I believe. Those chips look like they are a beauty for motion control as well.

"Look at the pin pitch on that bastard!" :)

At 16:45 he calls it a Siglent SDS2000 X-series oscilloscope :)

You broke the warranty seal!

Don't forget to reconnect the back panel connectors.

I think the filter network following the DAC is a reconstruction filter (or anti-imaging filter); anti-aliasing is used with ADC.

You are truly an Oscilloscope lover and everywhere you see oscilloscopes..especially at slider pos @16:49

That's actually a really common TI processor, I'm surprised you haven't heard of it - all the BeagleBones (both white and black) use an AM335x series MPU. At least for prototyping and the like they're very common around my university, it seems like I pull up the datasheet every week.

Wow, 4k is nice. It's like I can almost *touch* the poor solder joints on that board. :)

Dave! Please review a nanovoltmeter or an electrometer. I'd like to see some low-level measurement stuff, triax connection best practices. Tribo-electric effect on cables, tens of gigaohms measurements, etc.

What a spec's for this price! Hm.... sold! Thx Dave to open :)

I'm so immature. "Nothing worse than busting your knob" indeed.

Hi Dave, I've designed boards with the Enpirion regulators with both Xilinx and Lattice FPGAs. This was before Altera bought Enpirion. The FPGA might not be Altera!

Great Job!! Congratulations. One question: Which kind of camera (brand/model) are you using for recording such great details full focused? Everything can be seen in such details as I were touching the equipment by myself. If I could I would like to do the same for you with my Siglent SDG2042X and this will allow you to make a comparison between both. For sure we would learn even more for this extra analysis. Congratulations.for your superb blog.

You should do a video on filter caps brands, price differences and stuff.

Hey Dave, that EN2342QI package would be a great chip to de-cap on video ! I bet it's got some weird internals.

Thumbs up... even if you did call it an 'SDS 2000X Oscilloscope' in the round-up!

It's a really thick package!

At about 16:48 does he say "that's a look inside the new Siglent SDS 2000X series oscilloscope..." LOL??

I thought you weren't concerned with filming in 4K. What camera are you using? Edit: I've seen your latest video.

at 10:05 , is that a good practice for QFN ground pads? the way they put the vias in there with the soldermask on top for U66 and U8

Woot, AM335x. Same SoC as on the Beagle Bone Black. I'm into my 2nd year writing firmware on this IC. Psst, don;t look at the TRM, it's over 4000 pages.

Neat uses the exact same processor as the BeagleBone.

the main cpu sample family as on the beagle bone, they are definitely running linux for controlling the touch screen , may be using something like Qt for the application.

I whish you were one of my neighbours! cheers.

The solder joints look so shiny, I'm wondering if this unit is lead free or not?

This Enpirion DC-DC is almost all in integrated. Only external components are input and output caps.

"I hope I don't break it!" - you jinxed it! :P

Just noticed this video is in 4k, when did you start doing that?

Hey man! Is it true that all trigger outputs must send a pulse at the startpoint of a sweep? Cause I cannot get it to work on my SDG810, and I am not getting working response from the factory unfortunally.

Sorry for the lack of paragraph breaks and the abscence of spaces between sentences. It's how my browser interacts with KZfaq.

Is it possible to upgrade those Siglent's puppies with more accurate timebase?

QC label is not for your confidence, rather for factory process ;)

Dave,I know it is off topic, but a video that I would LOVE to see you do is a full length tutorial on repairing zebra strips on meters.I have done a couple, and turned them from faded to brand new. But I have one more to do, and I know that it doesn't always work to just clean the edge of the strip.I also have a calculator to do.Aside from cleaning the edge with alchohol, has anybody ever tried "shaving" the edge with a scalpel or sharp razor blade just by a "knat's balls hair", as you would say? Obviously it would have to be a VERY tiny sliver that would be removed, otherwise you would have to shim the presure on the zebra slightly.What do you think? Think about all the tech's out there who could benefit from learning out how to bring zebra strips (and hence meters) back to life!All the best....

My internet connection will barely stream 1080 so I'm out of this one on resolution. I have noticed that footage uploaded in 4K seems to be more glitchy when watched at 720. Anybody else experience this?

Wow, it's interesting that that SD card slot isn't accessible through the case!

At 10:13 - the 10Mhz crystal - why is there so much space around the part? Does that help the stability? Also, there are four large holes around the part. Might that be for a temperature stabilizing can?

Let's see how the solder work is done on this one ...

So if this processor on this generator can support Android and Linux, then what OS does it have on it to begin with, and how and why would you change the OS anyway? It's proprietary, right? So what would you do with other OSes replacing that? Or does it support those OSes just because it's a somewhat common processor like the Motorola 68K series and the Intel series and compatibles (and even the MOS 65xx/85xx series), and we might see one in many tablets and phones? But even if that's the case, then still, what OS does this run on?

I prefer the 50fps full hd over the 4k

Just if nobody mentioned. The TI Sitara is quite famous: it powers the BeagleBone Black board.

Maybe the MicroSD slot is for extra storage?

the enpirion chips looks like as if it has the inducturs inside. I wouldn´t mind this part that much. Look at the CC3200 from Texas instrument for layout trouble.

Cyclone V,only black packaged fpga with 1.1 volt core voltage :)

16:49 the new siglent "oscilloscope" hehehhe

Cooling flow through the middle "fence" between the CPU and power supply boards has lots of holes. Then most of the holes are blocked by a ribbon cable. I don't get that.

Lordy, how big was the video file? :P

Look at the solder work on that relay @ 13:29

Damnit. I have a 4K screen but the internet is not fast enough to keep up right now! Is this going to be a normal thing from now on?

is there a point to putting all that glue on the capacitors like that ? does it actually make any difference to the machines performance/longevity ?

16:45 he says Sigilent SDS2000X series oscilloscope

They used a beaglebone black to develop this 😁

Did I see a warranty seal? I didn't see a warranty seal did I? Where is the warranty seal? How the frik can they put something on the market without an warranty seal? This is not how the world functions. I'm very disturbed by the lack of warranty seal.

Dave i love all your teardown videos with your excellent analysis, displaying the datasheets, zooming in on components, and explaining every little chip inside these things and the quality of the construction and design. I can't get enough! Everyone help support Dave on Patreon: www.patreon.com/eevblog?ty=h

+EEVblog "It's just a wankword they've pulled out of their backside..." C'mon Dave! Don't pull your punches :)

Can I use it as an audio dac? xD

Little mistake on 16:49 "oscilloscope". :)

Sitara is an musical instrument from Asia

no care to the warrenty sticker? I thought you were going to pull another dave on this one

I want to see you rip of that screen protection!!! Just pull the red tab, you know you want to!

Dave, you sound different in this one. Have anything to drink at all? :>

Constantly buffering and impossible to watch. Trying to figure out how to force KZfaq NOT to use the highest resolution....

Cool You can use it in a plane 100-240 Volt 50/60 HZ or 100/120 Volt 400Hz That is a universal power supply Nice

LOL! "Wank word they pulled out of their backside"

EN2342QI is quite silly in it's design, they could just use 18-20 0,5mm pins with 1,27mm pitch around that chip and get away much more "designer friendly" package instead of this.

4K option for all the non-Australian viewers to enjoy on their high speed internet

I once busted a knob. Took a whole damn week to heal.

You're quite the 'schmicky' explainer!

At 16:50 you said "Siglent SDG2000X seriesoscilloscope" ;) Kinda frightening how well these units are made for that price. If Siglent would use better green LEDs for the front panels there would be nothing to moan about.

0.5mm pitch isn't too bad if you're using stencils and a hot air station. Many of the smaller switching regs from TI and LT are the same pitch. Not trivial, but still doable for us DIY guys. But... those ridiculous angled power pads are uncalled for. C'mon... what's the sense in that?

what? this was 500AUD ? it is more than double now!

you just cut warranty stinker?

Sitara in Hindi or Urdu means "Star"

Someone make a circuit that can calculate the speed of a bicycle. What I have in mind is a magnet on the bike's wheel that will pass a coil and create a pulse of electric current. Then have a circuit count the time frame in between the pulses then do calculations based on the wheels circumference to find out the bikes speed. This will be displayed on a 2 digit 7-seg display. Too bad I don't understand electronics enough to create these kind of complicated circuits. Maybe someone out there can apply my idea. Or maybe it has already been done. Thank you.

I still think that the "don't turn it on" part is detrimental to the enjoyability of these videos. Spending something like 30 seconds to show what it looks like when turned on would not degrade the quality of the video, but the exact opposite. And nobody would certainly complain about it. Seeing how the device looks when turned on would be interesting to a casual viewer. It would not turn away pros. So what exactly is the harm? (And cue people defending the practice, with zero rational reasoning why.)

Oh, they used Rubycon caps ... only to ruin the whole thing with a Lelon! Yuck!

Propably the apple imac 5k owners begin to start complaining about the low resolution soon :D

Warranty Void sticker - you ruined it ahhhh!!!!

IMUOP Incredibly Messed-Up Outline Package

The lead-free solder looks terrible.

4K resolution ???? Are you kidding me ? Come on. Let's get serious. Next time, why not make it in 3D ? Doh!

7:17 wank word,,, mwahha. yeah they really could have used a better name, other than that, its a beast, and really cost effective! $20 for A8 Soc processor... , really good price point. its not bad.

the construction is not very good, night and day compared to Keysight or Keithley

Yeah, nothing worse than busting your "knob."

The solder quality is terrible.
