As techneut says, use the Search function.QuoteAFAICT these are SDS2000X Plus rebrands which certainly can be enhanced but maybe not with the same codes the Siglent python thread produces and like the SDG1000X there are threads and hack threads for these.

content: The lecroy rebadges of the sds2000X+ got more options already included, there are only MSO and 4 decoder types left.And of course bandwith.

content: Was looking to be sure mso was available and to bump the bandwidth.Anyway, i work more hours a week then most and get about a hour each afternoon to spend with family. After many day/hours of searching the internet (and of corse every search for siglent hacks points to eevblog) and reading the threads that internet searching brought up from eevblog. I decided to get on site and ask. I will never understand why people want to instantly jump to thinking someone is lazy for asking questions. If no one wants to answer just ignore the question. Though i have not searched this site directly. I have done extensive reading through google searches linked to this blog and didnot find the answers i was looking for.I do sincerely thank everyone for your comments, i have gained some useful information to continue my internet search. I now know to focus on the sdg1032x and t3dso2104/sds2104+ <—- was thinking it was a siglent rebrand, confirmed, if i can get itsbandwidth up to 200 i may just sell my sds1202. Thanks for the info, good day and God bless…. And goodbye….

Tests I did on the first one I handled showed with 3 yes 3 waveform sources its -3dB BW was ~185 MHz !Sure that's some 40 MHz behind a SDS1202X-E however in the big picture will that really matter ?

content: Awesome. Thanks. Do you know if mso is on by default? Im hoping to expand my electronics experience by taking odds and ends apart and hacking in to them. My free time is limited but i hope to learn more. I work with automation. Allen bradley plcs and love the thought of taking a wireless router apart and building some random mcgiver controller out of it. Thanks for the info.
