content: Nice! The specs look pretty good, and it can do PRBS patterns and I/Q modulation as well.Any ideas when these devices will be available outside China? And what the targeted RRP is for the various versions?If they get the price right then I'd consider the 500Mhz variant. Hell, I'd even be willing to play beta tester for this thing if that means I could get one at reasonable conditions

content: Siglent will take 4 to 6 months before shipping out of the domestic market. Or at least this is what they use to do.

content: This series actually interests me, no need to buy a Windows-machine (or license) to get wide range of functions out of this. Currently I have no need for fancy AVG, but you never know.

content: Quote from: Plasmateur on November 04, 2017, 11:44:50 pmI'd like to say that I can tell you more about the SDG6000X series but I passed on beta testing one as I wanted to focus on the 4 ch X-E that was offered at the same time too.Last I heard Wuerstchenhund might be getting one to beta test but Dave has unfortunately banned him from the forum so we've not likely to get much unless he PM's one of us. Last I looked at his profile he was keeping an eye on us all. He gave Siglent a good bit of stick over the years so I hope he makes some contribution to their products.WRT 2042X, I'll have some more in a week or two and I'll reinvestigate the thing you wanted fixed/changed/added.

content: Last Friday I went trough the specs of the Chinese PDF, it seems the 500MHz will be kind of unique product. It is not easy to create the best test set-up, for sure high frequency calibrate coaxial cables and at least a 1GHz bandwidth oscilloscope with high sampling rate and accurate vertical resolution. I'm not sure I'll be ready to test it before Xmas even if I will get then unit as soon as it will be available in EU.However I'm available for specific tests, if you are interested just drop me a line with your test requirement.

content: The European public launch for the SDG6000X is scheduled for November the 16thIt seems it will carry a surprise surprise for all of us ... the frequency maybe hackable as it is for the SDG2000XCan't wait

content: Go an email Nov 10 from Circuit Specialists in the US showing these generators up for order.SDG6022X 200MHz $1,499 (back order ships 11/29/17)SDG6032X 350Mhz $3,339 (ships in 1-2 business days)SDG6052X 500Mhz $5,299 (ships in 1-2 business days)A fair bit pricier than the SDG2000x series but if you need the higher frequencies still probably a reasonable value.

content: I see this page on the English language site mentions a SDG6000X-E series. But there's no listed devices from that series. That's pretty interesting. Anyone have more info on that? Possibly from Chinese market?The only details are just a note on rise times:The rise/fall times of the SDG6000X can be set to as low as 1 ns (SDG6000X-E series as low as 2 ns), comparable to much higher – priced units.http://www.siglent.com/ENs/qyxwxx.aspx?id=2217&sid=25

content: Which scope is used in that video? Afaik there is no siglent scope with that high bandwidth. There is just a branding Siglent powered by LeCroy. Can we also expect a high bandwidth scope from siglent?

content: It's not a WaveSurfer 3000 - it lacks the ProBus probe connectors and seems to have only basic BNC inputs. Otherwise looks very similar, though white instead of black. Interesting that the Siglent scope runs LeCroy firmware.

content: I just checked again and I confirm is the SDS3000 (white version of the WaveSurfer 3000)If you jump to 1’34” you can see the logic pod on the right.

content: Quote from: bson on November 16, 2017, 07:10:02 amIt looks like "alternative truth" aka "trumth" is so popular that it has to penetrate everywhere. Or how this must think?Checking the facts.TeledyneLecroy WaveSurfer 3000 is manufactured by Siglent and is same as Siglent SDS3000.Yes labels are different and outer case plastic color is different.No ProBus in Siglent? Where from this information come?Look this image. Only BNC's ?

content: well, screen is about twice as big..in the lecroy we demoed the touchscreen was so bad that you had to press too hard to use it and when you didn't move your finger the cursor would move frenetically. with a stylus, not so bad but at that point i'd rather use a mouse thank you very much
