content: Quote from: Siglent America on July 30, 2014, 01:53:16 pmSteve, I know it's a bit too early to expect the SCPI manual to show up there yet (if it's not there by end of week, I'll certainly mention it). But I stopped by there just to take a look at what docs Siglent does have for the 2000 series, and am a bit confused. The page I visited is here:http://www.siglent.com/en/product/detail.aspx?id=100000008529687&nodecode=119008001and if you click on the Downloads tab (where manuals, data sheets, software updates, etc. are usually found), there is a long list of items for the 1000-series. And nothing at all for the 2000. Ignoring the fact that the 1000 info is out of place on the 2000 page, shouldn't a manufacturer have documentation for their products available on their own web site?Perhaps you could look into this, and see what's up?

content: Hi, Mark.Well, you are absolutely correct about that web page!My short answer is that we have been working on a new web site design and my "guess" is we have been busy with that so the error went unnoticed. But I have forwarded your catch to our factory guys. I did notice that the handheld battery powered scopes (SHS-Series) have a different list of downloads but yes, all of the SHS100-family of scopes do have the same list.Thanks for letting me know.Steve

content: Well, I just got word last night that SCPI command manual will not be ready this week after all. I apologize. It seems Engineering is still doing the testing and therefore it will be a while longer. We will let everyone know when it is ready.We appreciate your patience!Steve

content: Quote from: Siglent America on August 05, 2014, 12:18:14 pmThat's OK. Sometime schedules shift, or slip. Thanks for confirming it's being worked on, and letting us know it will be delayed. That's way better than being left in the dark.

content: Quote from: Mark_O on August 05, 2014, 12:57:46 pmThe information I got 2 weeks ago was to expect SCPI manual late August.In the meanwhile the SDS1000 series instructions will work albeit with a reduced command set.
