content: I'm starting with this, because it doesn't exist yet.But now.And I already have a wanted feature:I just wanted to select a different color for Mathchannel F1 - it doesn't exist....So please, as with the 2000Xplus/HD, the possibility to change the trace colors.EDIT: Title changed

content: fine adjustment for the timebase! very useful, should be not too hard to implement. would get me saving to replace my dead keysight scope with one of these

content: I don't know if you can call it a bug, but I've noticed two things since I got the scope yesterday.1)Save screenshot to the usb stick:As usual with the "save" button, one click, done.I prefer the "jpg" format, so I changed it in the corresponding save/recall menu.Then came the moment when I wanted to save a reference trace.So I went back to the menu and made the appropriate settings and saved it.Now it gets interesting:Then at some point I saved a screenshot again - the set jpg format was discarded and it was saved in png format.2)Self-calibration:After running it, I was surprised to find that a change had taken place in the math function (FFT), namely the vertical scaling.I had to set it again - in my opinion, this shouldn't be the case, especially as I didn't even have the math function active for the self-calibration.And I think the vertical setting for channel 1 was also adjusted afterwards, but I'll have to check again.Edit: The markers have also been reset in the FFT function.

content: Quote from: Martin72 on March 10, 2024, 09:28:55 pmPerhaps whole .jpg format need remove. (Are there anymore any reason at this millenium to use .jpg for oscilloscope display copy.) It is so horrible format for this kind of images. It is well ok for pocket camera "art & scenery" images but not at all ok for this kind of images where it can only produce horrible artifacts around small details. .png is best. (lossless packaging)

content: Quote from: rf-loop on March 11, 2024, 04:20:08 amI concur. JPG is a terrible choice for any sort of detailed/high-precision image. Unless I'm dealing with photographs, PNG is always my preferred format in any graphics software output.

content: Experienced a total input lockdown, either from keyboard or touchscreen. Had to force a reboot by long press the power button.I was giving a first run on decoding, using CAN and I2C test signals generated with an SDG1000X (I2C and CAN files attached), and after decoding I2C I just switched one of the serial I2C signal to a CAN signal in the generator and the scope was blocked, and I could not do anything from it, even through browser (LAN cable). I had to do forced shutdown, and upon startup the scope was still not responding to any input, from keys, touch or browser.Recovered after a second forced reboot, and after I start fiddling with controls through browser before pressing any button or touchscreen, in the scope. Don't know if there was some timing consideration on this, but it was roughly how things went.The scope is responding properly now, and I've been playing with decoding, without any issue (so far).Software version: 1.1.3.3Uboot-OS Version: 2.8.11FPGA Version: 2024-02-03Hardware Version: 00

content: As a quite minor improvement, provide a way to set hostname and domain in UI.The SDS800X registers itself with a hostname of SDS12xx or similar, not really matching the HWThere is no option in the UI to alter neither hostname nor domain, so it does not play 100% nice with the rest of the networkEtA: Another 'nice to have', on the UI side, would be autorepeat for the ◀ and ▶ physical keys (lodestar: the longer they are held down, the higher the speed).When scrolling History or Sequence capture frame by frame, it would be quite handy: the universal knob works only with menus displayed.(BTW, a small bug: when the menu disappears, the LED above the universal knob is still lit, but the knob reverts to changing trace intensity).

Leave Hostname and Description blank4. Click Submit5. Update the webpage, Hostname will display SDS800X HDAdding Hostname and domain to the UI would be better.

content: My wish list:- control of an external SDG Siglent Generator via scope UI, not only for Bode plots and with SAG1021- copy F-channel settings to another F-channel- math operations with numerical measurements (Vpp(ch1)/Vpp(ch2) as example)

content: Quote from: Martin72 on March 23, 2024, 06:28:18 pmI played with Bode plots with my SDG2122 (born as 2042) and it works very well via IP network.But it would be nice to control the Sig Gen also for „simple“ tasks like a internal Gen of the SDS2000x+ (as example) from the scope.
