content: Quote from: TopQuark on September 26, 2023, 12:45:40 pmThis sentiment seems funny to me. Do people think Siglent has only 5 employees who can either work on firmware OR hardware?That's silly. Besides, you should understand that Siglent builds platforms, and it's likely that the 2KHD series will benefit from the existence of the 3KHD and 1KHD stuff.Or would you prefer they push firmware out before it's ready? Don't get me wrong, I'm also impatiently waiting for a firmware update for my SDS2K+, but it will be out...eventually.

content: Quote from: TopQuark on September 26, 2023, 12:45:40 pmMore than once I've hinted on the new entry level HD instrument, which will not be the same as the SDS1000X HD sold in China so far. Now here you have it "officially". Yes, it is just an "updated" 1000X HD - depending on the pricing it might rather be that the Chinese customers of the previous 1000X HD might feel "shafted"...What about Rigol DHO4000 users? Do they have to feel shafted because of the DHO1000? (or 900, 800?)I've also given a preview on future firmware, so we all can know that there is progress. Yet requests keep coming in and even though many of them might look like an easy task to perform a supposedly simple change or introduce a little new feature, the ones with some insight in firmware development will know that such projects are never easy and might require a major redesign of certain parts of the software.

content: The ADCs are likely to be the same.Otherwise, the Lecroy only has 25Mpts of memory, but the larger screen (12") with the higher resolution (1200x800).It's interesting that Siglent sticks to the 1024x600 anyway.Datasheet of the 4000HD:https://cdn.teledynelecroy.com/files/pdf/wavesurfer-4000hd-datasheet.pdf

content: Quote from: Sighound36 on September 26, 2023, 05:27:22 pmI'm not sure...I cannot find info if SDS3000X HD is 12.1" screen. And it is 2x4GS/s not 2X5GS/s like LeCroy.Direct mapping to WS 4000HD is mine SDS6000H12 PRO 1GHz only with 2x5GS/s. That one is different than 2GHz version.

content: It´s looking good, the specs..Black is...OK.USB 3.0, 4 MPts FFT...nice.1Ghz/750 Mhz at 1M/50Ohm.Price...Guessing it would be under the 6000A(premium line), above the 5000X.I want it.1000X HD:Lower screen resolution and no video output, everything else is above the DHO1000 - Now.Price could be interesting, my guess is above the 2000Xplus.

content: Quote from: pope on September 26, 2023, 04:18:41 pmI'm just speculating, but maybe Siglent had to make a clear distinction from the previous SDS1000X HD. Think about the confusion in China, when you want to buy an SDS1000X HD but could not know whether it's old stock or a revised unit if there was no obvious difference. The same goes for the 2nd hand market.Apart from that, Siglent instruments generally have a serious industrial look, so I would be unpleasantly surprised if they jump on the "cool & playful" theme for anything above the entry level.

content: Quote from: skander36 on September 27, 2023, 05:20:44 pmYou asked and got your answer. It is superior in it's capabilities, having many functions that were until few years ago only in mid range scopes, some that even DHO4000 does not have (at least at the moment). As I said, if you don't need that, than you should go with simpler and cheaper scope if that one is satisfying your requirements.I'm sure many people don't need advanced functions and will be more than happy with a simpler scope that still have decent analog performance. And is very affordable. Fantastic news for them.Fact that advanced functions are not of use to you doesn't make simple cheaper scope equal in capabilities to one that has more capabilities.It simply means you shouldn't get something that you will not use in full. It would be waste of money..What the actual price of SDS1000X HD in EU market will be, I have no clue and will not speculate. Even if somebody knows, they won't say anything before Siglent authorizes release of scope and publication of the price in which case it will be published for everyone to know anyways. Same as any other manufacturer.
