content: I have just received my scope and I am checking it out. I was impressed with how it was packaged and, whilst the manual is not perfect grammatically it is by far better than I had expected. The scope probes calibrated easily and I have loaded the software on my PC. My problem is that Windows 7 did not recognize the scope and I could not find where to get the USB Drivers. Navigating the Siglent website and searching for drivers did not yield any results. Can anyone please help?

content: You are in luck since Siglent support has a thread in this forum:https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/siglent-technical-support-join-in-eevblog/Ask in there, they don't respond fast on weekends and since it's Friday night you might need to wait until Monday or so to get a reply.

content: Have you downloaded the latest Software for the scope?http://www.siglent.com/ENs/gjjrj-xq.aspx?id=863&tid=14It is important that the included "visa512runtime.exe" is installed!After Installation of the visa runtime and EasyscopeX, you need to click on "Add Device" and then select "USBTMC". Now your scope should appear in the list on the screen.Hope that helpsMarty

content: Quote from: miguelvp on December 13, 2014, 05:33:51 amThank you for this information. Had I known about the other thread I would have posted my query there. I have been spending the last couple of hours reading the postings in the thread and still have a lot more reading to do. This is the first time I have experienced a manufacturer publicly joining in a forum. All credit to them!

content: Quote from: MartyD on December 13, 2014, 09:21:17 amI have used the supplied disc to load the Easy scope software . This version of the program is dated August 2013. The link you have provided shows that the software on the website is a newer version (30 Sept 2014). I tried to download this but I couldn't without registering on the site. I tried for half an hour to register and could not get anywhere and have to give up.Any ideas?Best wishesPeterUPDATEI have tried for a further 30 mins and where the registration gets stuck is Company name. I am retired and that presents me with a difficulty. I have used retired and some gf the company I have worked for in this field but nothing is accepted. Any ideas on this too?

content: PeterHave read all your posts on this issue and I suggest you read the install notes on you CD in the file: EasyScopeXEN.chm.It mentions MS Net Framework is also required.In older versions the USB drivers were in a seperate folder and on connection one had to point Windows to them.If you still have no joy, I'm sure Siglent support will help you after the weekend.

content: Peter,If you did not solve your issues please be aware that you can register at:www.siglentamerica.comand there you can also download the latest firmware and latest EasyScopeX released sometime in September 2014.For Windows 7 I had no issues to connect with the scope on two computers (a laptop running 32 bit version and a desktop running 64 bit version).Also there is Wave Studio available from Teledine LeCroy that works with the scope.You can also use the American web site for real support, in English, by phoning a toll free number.

content: I took the risk and flashed WaveAce 1012 firmware (http://teledynelecroy.com/support/softwaredownload/download.aspx?did=8107) on my Siglent SDS1102CML.Everything works. Start up screen did not change and the scope is still identified as a Siglent SDS1102CML, but firmware revision now shows 5.01.02.27 instead of 5.01.02.22.I cannot see any improvements or problems. Just for sanity I flashed back Siglent's firmware and you can go back without a hitch, so I will keep testing with LeCroy firmware and report if I find anything new.You still cannot use EasyScope 3, as supplied by LeCroy, which was one of the reasons I flashed LeCroy's firmware in the first place.WaveStudio, from LeCroy is working nice, but was working on Siglent firmware too.I am quite happy with my $400 Canadian scope
