dpt4565 thanks for watching, and for the request. I am an analog engineer with only simple digital experience, although I did design a 4 bit slice cpu from an eeprom and gates once;). The siglent I have did come with the option for the logic analyzer. I think the Siglent folks are doing a great job. I think Rigol started off that way but have fallen behind with tech for the price, so they seem a bit expensive. Do you mean Commercial Off the Shelf; COTS?

@@KissAnalog yes you got it. COTS would be something I could buy and use it right out of the box. I'm looking for something college students can use to debug microprocessors and FPGA boards.

I think Siglent’s on the fly help menus would be great. I think you only need the logic analyzer option.

Are there dedicated engineers towards FPGA today? However, that will be just software. Electronics engineers consideres FPGA as a component. Best regards, Civil Engineer in electronics since 1990.

Erika S In some areas FPGA engineers (software guys which I think of as firmware) do pretty good. Nice to hear from you!

Kaustav Sengupta thank you! I’m glad to hear from you!

paul30003 That’s an awesome scope! The 100MHz BW will handle everything that most of us need.

LOL Thank you very much!

One is always short of a multimeter, or an oscilloscope :)

Yeah - I’m trying to work on that;) it’s hard to keep the time short and give content, but I’ll try and be more creative 😉

you bet!

Thank you! This one is on sale. amzn.to/33jhRHa The current probe is here: amzn.to/2IE1ehB

This is a link to one if my videos where I review two current probes. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d91dgpBouta-fYU.html

That’s a great question! I don’t know if you can change the font, but I’ll ask Siglent.

@@KissAnalog Thanks a lot and even if older firmware with this feature would be good .

abusiveben no doubt, but I might look at the SDS1202X-E version, it doesn’t have the option for the digital probes, but it have a better FFT.

abusiveben one thing I forgot, the X-E model has a 7” screen where the X model is 8”.

Thanks for this feedback. That is a great scope. Let me know if there's anything specific that I can help with. I have several scopes so should be able to show techniques that are common between them. I've done a few videos with a Keysight, so you can search Kissanalog Keysight and they should come up. Here's one: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mbKWntpplbqUYac.html

Yes that is right. I do have an old video that shows the differences between these two Siglent Scopes. I don't know why I didn't release it, I think I will tomorrow.

@@KissAnalog Oh...sounds good. I'll watch it when you post.

Actually there is a new player in town;) There is a new GWInstek that came out that kills both of these in specs and price. I'm going to do a video on this. I'm trying to get the discount code as well to pass on that will make it an easy decision. I hope to have this in the next couple of days...

@@KissAnalog that would be awesome, any ideas on the UK retail price, as a student my budget was pretty much maxed out with the silent!

@@KissAnalog and thats selling at 360£ or about 460 $!

Minimum value detected by frequency meter is 10Hz.

What Tektronix do you have? I had a few or a bunch of them;) Do you use a 100x probe? If so, you can use the same probe on the Siglent. Yes, no worries! What you want to do is buy a 100x probe on Amazon. They are under $20. I just picked one up to do a review - maybe I can post that later today...

By the way - great question!! I’m a big fan of this scope - better than any of my past owned Tektronix. BTW, I still own a Tektronix...just don’t use it.

@@KissAnalog It's a Tek 465. Lately, the trace has been disappearing on it's own. I don't know enough about scopes to go digging around inside. I've had it since the late eighties. Yes, I do have a 100x probe. If that's all it takes then great. Wasn't sure since I work mostly in vintage (well, not vintage to me, lol) analog equipment.

Waltkat I had a TDK 475 and then found a 485. I really was happy with that scope series. You could try checking the aluminum caps - that would not be surprising. It could be the power supply or the CRT ... eeks! You will really like the Siglent, with the fast refresh and deep memory, along with the ability to save - you will find there’s so much more you can do.

@@KissAnalog Thanks for the troubleshooting suggestions. I may (or may not, lol) poke around inside the Tek. I am also considering one of the Siglent 1104 series scopes too. Not really sure of all the differences between the two though. I used a digital scope way back in the eighties when Fluke first released their handheld Scopemeter. It helped me track down a very fast, intermittent control signal glitch in a piece of industrial equipment at Xerox when an analog scope couldn't. The analog scope wasn't fast enough to capture and display it clearly, well, at least the scope Xerox had on hand couldn't. It showed up as a faint and blurry smear on the screen every so often so I wasn't sure of what I was seeing, but had my suspicions. Xerox management OK'd the purchase of a Fluke Scopemeter (really expensive at the time) and it was able to capture and display the glitch clearly. Saved me a lot of troubleshooting time. Unfortunately, digital scopes have been out of my price range for my own personal use, until recently. So I guess now is the time to buy one.

Slav Nvv The 1202x has the bigger screen, but the 1202x-e has the better FFT and is more upgradable;)

Большое спасибо за ответ! Буду и далее смотреть Ваши видео. Хотя английского и не знаю. Перевожу субтитры на русский.

Thanks for the great idea;)

No, I think you need the 4ch option with a generator option. Do you have the Siglent scope?

LOL - you are probably right;)
