content: It would appear that, those who may have purchased their Siglent gear through ebay, or similar type suppliers, are not eligible for this drawing, because there is no way to recover or create a comment screen shot for the submission. Is this true?

content: Quote from: 3roomlab on December 12, 2014, 10:05:54 amKeysight DSOX2002A is 2 channel model. with 0.1M acquire memory (or optional 1M)SDS2074 is four channel having max 14M acquire memory for all channels simultaneously. or max 28M for 2 channel ssimultaneously and it can do 2GSa/s for two channels simultaneously..Keysight can save up to 250 segments and around up to 50k segments/s speed. It is option.Siglent can save up to 80000 segments and up to over 400k segments/s speed. It is standard, not option.Keysight can do mask test up to 50k waveforms/s speed, This is option.Siglent can do mask test up to 110k waveforms/s speed. This is standardIf look Rigol 1000Z or 2000 these can do slowly some mask tests in one second? (Siglent have hardware based full speed mask test so of course it is like from different world)If talk about these features speed, Siglent can run around this Keysight when it walk. If look Rigol mask test (DS1000Z, DS2000) it can fly to moon when Rigol is still thinking to wake up.So, what is price and what are user needs and so on. If I need quite fast segmented acquire or if I need fast mask test - what we then compare. This named Keysight or some low end Rigol? If look some other features/functions, what we then compare?Yes, I have also Rigol. Rigol 1074Z model because its some features together with its price pass for my some specified needs - with these special needs this brand and model was right solution evet that it is 250MSa/s with 4 channels).For some other needs Siglent pass (and is much more expensive).It need compare these features what user need and related to these needs look prices.It is not so simple to compare......

This is what I have been told.

Despite it's shortcomings it is a nice oscilloscope for a rock bottom price. BTW the last time I visited Singapore (over a decade ago) I went hunting for cheap PC parts only to find the prices where 20% higher compared to the prices back home.

Import charges may apply.It would not be my intention to step on another distributors toes, but if they do not have an adequate supply chain in place to end users............

Sadly plug-in.de which is one of those doesn't sell to individuals. IMHO Siglent must be present on stores like e.g. Koenig, Reichelt, Conrad, ELV to be recognized as a serious brand. Least that's what I'd aim for.

Just be carefull with the wording of your inquiries to prevent misunderstandings.

content: I wrote my review last week and was informed I was number 9 in drawing number 4.I have the SDS1052DL and like it very much. Would really like to have a better manual but can't find anything online. If anyone here has a better manual could you tell me where you found it?Is there a way to clear the screen on this scope after capturing a single signal and have it ready to accept the next input? If I press the single button the screen clears but then the scope won't respond to the next attempt to capture a signal.

content: Should have read the thread before I opened my mouth. Found the Siglent America site from one of the previous posts so was able to download the manual. Thanks. As to my problem of clearing the screen and then grabbing another signal I found that having the trigger set correctly solves a lot of problems. With the trigger set you just have to press the run/stop button to clear the screen and then the new signal triggers when you turn the red light out.Hope to get that 10th review soon so drawing 4 can proceed.

content: Just received my Free Siglent Generator today. Looks very nice and it's very easy to use. Controls are all very intuitive and easy to navigate. Only one question, and I will search the Siglent Tech Thread and the SDG1000 thread for some help. When I turn the generator on it asks you to select a language. I select English and then I go into the "Utility"- "System" menu and select English and then select "Last Configuration" on startup. I also set up the way it displays numbers in this menu. When I turn the generator off and then back on it again asks me to select a language. It has remembered how to display numbers but has not remembered the language selection. I am probably just not doing something right so will search the other threads for an answer. Firmware is the latest from Siglent. Other than this minor annoyance I am thrilled with the generator so far.

content: Maybe it is a new feature of the firmware. Some other equipment from other manufacturers does that as well.edit: I just installed the latest firmware on my SDG1010 and it asks for the language at power on indeed.

content: Quote from: jobog on March 17, 2015, 01:18:22 amThis is a change in the latest firmware. It does remember the language but it asks you anyway. On power up you can hit any button to skip the question including pressing or turning the rotary encoder. Whatever button you press will count as it's primary action so it doesn't necessarily require any extra button presses, but it does look sort of strange.I suppose this way of prompting for the language was implemented to get around the problem of finding the language setting in the utilities menu when you don't know the currently displayed language. Not a bad idea, but somewhat unconventional.

content: Quote from: nctnico on March 17, 2015, 01:29:50 amI for onedo not supportthis feature, it has caused much confusion and frustration to many Siglent owners. Yes any button push after startup will step past the language screen.At one time it was displayed for x number of starts only, even that was frustrating.Siglent, just make it clear how to change the language in the manual and leave it at that.BTWCongratsjobog

I had good things to say about the siggen, but bad things to say about the service from TEquipment. Looks like they are cherry picking reviews.I later bought some equipment from Saelig. If I bought two of the same item, does that count as two entries?

Up until now, I've been using my crusty old Tek 2465B. I'll still keep it around, but it'll be nice to be in the 21st century with a digital scope! The drawing was fun to watch, and I hope to enter another contest with a future purchase. Thank you Siglent!!
