    At 5:05 you compare the logic ports, but they're different for a reason. The 2000 series has internal hardware for that, and only connects externally to a probe. The 1000 series uses entirely external mixed signal hardware. At 11:32 you assume logic is also done on the internal chip, but it is not, it's built in to the SLA1016.

    That zynq zcu2cg used even has displayport 1.2a hard IP in the processor system. Just needs a couple voltage level translators and an lvds line driver for the aux channel. Even at an order quantity of just 1, that only costs about $7 including a DP connector. Mini DP would be even cheaper. Super low per-unit cost, but that's not accounting for the engineering costs to route some DP signals through the board to a connector.

    The missing HDMI is unacceptable, the fixed Sample-Memory / Sample-Rate ratio is awful as well.

    Dave -- one topic of great interest is the extent to which 12-bit res results in a smoother waveform appearance on the screen. So that in an economical digital scope we can finally get wave forms that avoid the misleading and distracting jaggies. So that would be nice to show in your review: Nice smooth sines, and also lines that are just slightly off horizontal that always look ugly, like a square wave with a slightly saggy top line, or bottom line.

      @@EEVblog Yes, thumbs up on #601 and #610 which are indeed related; solid and valuable discussion about the capture and rendering of noise. But I'm talking about the coarseness of the ADC capturing the signal in steps, and the coarseness of the display rendering slopes with steps. (ie: not about "electrical noise" though obviously quantization is a form of noise in its own right). This should improve with higher res ADC (4096 instead of 256 steps), and higher res screens (though this SDS1204X HD still has the 1024x600 screen same as SDS2104X Plus etc). Even with unimpressive 1024x600, traces could be smoother with judicious anti-aliasing, I think.
      This of course won't negate your points about noise -- but will allow the "aberrations" we see on the screen to be more certainly about legit noise, and not about the shortcomings of sampling and rendering. I'm hoping.
      A nuance is the way that low-amplitude electrical noise interacts with the quantization steps of the ADC: A finer res ADC does, by itself, improve one aspect of noise: Any signal voltage nominally at an exact ADC step threshold will permit any tiny amplitude of noise to produce one whole bit change at the ADC output (0.4% FS for 8-bit ADC), whereas that same signal nominally midway between ADC step thresholds would need a noise amplitude of over half a step (0.2% FS) to affect the digitized value.
      When the ADC is 12-bit, at least those amounts change to 0.024%FS (size of steps, sometimes unwanted) and 0.012%FS (worst case required to register), which should be a good improvement in hiding the noise that's not significant, and displaying more proportionately the noise that is worth seeing. As long as the limited res of the screen doesn't water down the effect.

    According to the datasheets, both have the same (low) display resolution. However, to me the 2000 looks way nicer (font rendering with anti-aliasing perhaps?).

      Revising my earlier incorrect comment: Apparently this "SBUS" is not simply individual digital wires for the MSO feature. Evidently for this scope there's an outboard module (SLA1016 ) that provides the interface to 16 digital connections, and concentrates that into this SBUS connection. As a high-data-rate signal, I guess it has the same sort of electrical requirements as HDMI, hence Siglent's reuse of that type of connector and cables. (Not unlike serial ports that use RJ45 or RJ11 connectors, or foot pedals that use "phone" jacks.)

      ​@@Graham_WidemanMost 8-bit scopes can't capture microvolt-level signals with any respectable quality because of their resolution, input offsets, and ADC noise. Some struggle with low-millivolt signals. 12-bit scopes are a significant improvement, but I believe 14 or 16-bit scopes will eventually be the reasonable limit. When you're cranking up the gain to see small signals, the screen resolution matters very little compared to your ADC resolution and noise floor.

I'd really like to know how they build these different. Saw them on their (quite large) booth on the embedded world in germany and couldn't resist and check their knobs - not the best but definitely better :P Though I have to say, it's really weird that the 3/7k still seem to use the old digital signal probes and they only changed that design on the 800 and 1k... the 7k is also the only one that has an HDMI port, probably because it's essentially build on a PC platform.

    Perhaps you can answer a question for me. I bought a new Siglent scope a while back, model SDS1052DL+. I work on vintage audio gear, and have used analog scopes all my life. Why is it that this digital scope cannot do something as simple as display the eye pattern from a CD player? Even just watching the audio output of an amplifier is a channel, as there is a lot of problems syncing and also there seems to be quite a bit of latency. Am I doing something wrong, or did I buy a pile of crap?

      @@Graham_Wideman Simply put, the old analog scope does exactly what I need. I just have to clean the switches once in a while. The new one is wholly incapable of displaying an eye pattern from a CD player, and it can barely display the waveform from two audio channels at once. And despite being "low end," it cost $300, and for that I expect competency up to at least 5 or 10 MHz, which is all it takes to display an eye pattern. Since it's supposedly a 50MHz scope, I assumed (wrongly) that it could do that. It appears that the problem is that the scope I bought has no intensity grading and not enough memory for the display. Oh, well. Live and learn. Anybody need a $300 digital boat anchor?

    • @Graham_Wideman
      @Graham_Wideman 15 วันที่ผ่านมา +2

      @@ScottGrammer Right. A digital scope is not a faithful replica of an analog scope, emulating a CRT, it's a different instrument with its own separate features. The main benefit to a digital scope is that it has digital storage and does not require a repeated waveform to capture and display a signal. Consequently, it does not have the built in shortcoming of an analog scope of a CRT with some short amount of persistence and no erasure mechanism. That shortcoming is an accidental benefit for the eye diagram display. But on digital scopes it is only replicated as a special feature, typically on scopes that also have intensity grading, as you noted. Your surprise at not getting this "basic capability" on a digital scope would be like a digital scope user being shocked that their newly acquired analog CRT scope lacks the "basic" capability of showing the signal before the trigger (on non-repeating waveforms).
      So unfortunately this scope was a poor choice for this particular task. That said, I rather doubt that it has trouble displaying two channels of audio, though the low end scopes may not have the prettiest displays due to limited screen resolution.
      But in general this particular scope at $300 does not seem like a good deal compared to applying that amount of money to any of several modestly more expensive scopes that are much better. I have had a lot of good use out of my Rigol DS1054Z, currently at $350 or so, and according to EEVBlog posts can do the eye diagram (I haven't tried it). In the $750 to $2000 range I prefer the Siglent line for some particular features, notably the web UI.

      [Edit] I'm now not so sure what the reason is for the sample-rate limitations for this scope (SDS1204X HD). The spec sheet shows: One channel mode: 2 GSa/s,
      Two channel mode: 1 GSa/s, Four channel mode: 500 MSa/s. So that seems like the bottleneck is not the ADCs, but rather downstream from there. In which case, if you want to use two channels, it should not matter which two you pick. But I was not able to find that written down.

    AWG seems AWOL! So far as I can tell, the AWG option (cheapish at $135) just adds the capability to control an external AWG over ethernet (like an SDG-series unit) from the scope's screen. What the heck is the point of that? Maybe the option adds a few additional waveforms you can load to the AWG?
    Maybe related -- the scope literature advertises that it can perform automatic transfer function to produce a Bode plot. This presumably requires the scope to ramp the external AWG hardware across the frequency range of interest, and need not even invoke a UI for the AWG on the scope screen -- I sure hope it doesn't require the AWG option just to send commands to the actual AWG.
    Now signal generators or AWGs built-in to scopes are often awkward to use, because you often want to twiddle with the AWG settings while watching results on the scope... and you can't do that if the AWG UI is plastered on the scope screen. So obliging the AWG to be separate from the scope is certainly a respectable position. But then advertising and selling an AWG option when the scope doesn't actually have an AWG seems a bit confusing, when other scopes with AWG options actually provide an AWG. Am I missing something?
