My new Siglent SDS1204X-E, 4 channel 200MHz scope with really useful Web Control feature.

- I have needed a 200MHz scope for some time (actually, I've wanted one - not quite the same thing), and I now have one. I bought it from Welectron, and they did give me a discount as it will appear often and prominently on my channel.
However, there is one feature that I couldn't resist highlighting. It's called Web Control, and I'm finding it extremely useful for reasons that Siglent designers may not have planned when they added it to this series of oscilloscopes.
Web Control allows me to view and control the scope in real-time from a browser. It connects to my network and allows me two access it via a generated IP address. Having the scope screen on my screen, as it were, allows me to do screen recording to show the scope when I want it to appear on my video. It's really cool and hassle-free, so will come in very handy.
I'm sure that I'll find many more reasons to talk about this scope in future videos, but this feature got me really excited, so I couldn't wait.
Visit Welectron and have a look at some of the cool stuff they sell. I've bought my Brymen multimeters from them, as well as a few accessories that I use constantly, so I'm much more a customer than a guy that got a discount :)

I am very happy for you. You're really going to like that new scope! I have the two channel little brother to it and it is a great tool. Can't wait to see what you selected as a signal source, but I think I have an idea.
Since I usually watch YT videos through TV I can't comment, allow me to say that I've been watching your channel for quite some time now, years. You along with x-raytonyb, Dave Tipton, and Buddy at The Radio Shop are among my most favorite YT electronics repair channels. Great job and content ranging from reading and understanding schematics, the engineering behind the circuits, and good troubleshooting procedure. Two thumbs up if it were possible on YT. Well done. Please keep them coming. Watching content like this on YT is superior to anything regular TV has to offer, Covid-19 or not.
Glad to know you enjoy the videos. I also like the other guys you mention.
I’m actually more of a YT viewer than creator. I watch a lot of videos here and really like the amount of information you can get.
Congratulations to 10 000 subscribers and oscilloscope!
thanks
This is a really useful feature! I need to simplify my filming process in the lab a lot. At the moment, I film every perspective seperately with my camera and edit it together, using davinci resolve - but this takes a hell of a time...
By the way: I just watched a lot of your videos, and I really like what you're doing. And, being german, I love it if you say: "This component is kaputt" 😂
Keep up the good work!
👍 😊
Good to know that the LAN connection can work reliable and fast, as I have seen that Rigol for instance has HDMI output, but I too lean heavily towards Siglent.
It’s worked perfectly for me so far.
Excellent, thank you. Showed me exactly what I wanted to know. For some reason the PDF manual for this scope doesn't mention the web server at all.
👍
Hello Sir, I just invested in a Siglent SDS1202X-E which is a two channel scope. I have never operated an oscilloscope before and would like to know if you could point me to one of your videos that would be informative for a new-comer to this hobby. I am only interested in old tube radios at this time.
Thank you for your excellent and informative videos.
Hi. Great Scope.
I haven’t done a video on the topic, but if you search eevblog I’m sure he’s done a few.
Looks like you've reached 10K. Hope you are planning something special with your daughter for the great reveal.
She’s away at varsity, so it’s just going to be me 😊
DORA - Discover Offer Request Acknowledge is the sequence of IP address assignment. DHCP addresses are offered by a DHCP server (usually in a home setup - your router does it). A self-generated IP address is called an APIPA address, usually starts with 169.254.x.x
Thanks.
Manuel, I'm so glad you're wife allowed you to have a new toy, I hope Santa is equally nice to her.
I was a good boy all year 😊
She wasn’t 😃
The LAN access is extremely useful and gives a great picture. Siglent make some very nice test kit. I’m sure it will be a very useful bit of kit. Cheers graham
👍
That is great, I have the SDS 1052DL model, it is only 50mhz and 2 channel but I think it is very similar as well. I can't wait to follow along, mine is capable of putting on my network as well.
👍
I wish Santa would bring me a new scope!
Lovely piece of equipment, with unbelievable features.
I was a good boy this year 😊
I gave my son my Hantek for Christmas last year. I am just an old CRO man I guess. That is, indeed, a nice feature for your use case.
👍
Nice oscilloscope. I love good testgear.
Usualy I power my oscilloscope via an isolation transformer. Simply to keep me away of accidentelly shorting anything to earth. Back then the other day I connected the LAN-Cable to the oscilloscope and to my surprise the oscilloscope GND was earthed via the PC and the LAN cable shielding. Simply something to be check on this oscilloscope and to be aware of.
Yes, scope ground must never be ignored.
I finally pulled the trigger and bought a 4-channel scope. My 2-channel Siglent SDS 1202X-E has worked well, but my new 1204X-E looks great. Still trying to become one with the features. Your video answered a key question: how to get the scope controls to display. Couldn't find that info anywhere. On my 1202 I could click on the browser screen a button to save the scope image as a .bmp file, but so far I haven't found an equivalent feature on the 1204. I can do a print screen, but that button on the 1202 saved some steps. Does the 1204 have such a function?
Not sure
Can you do a video on how low the noise floor is please. Form a loop such that the earth lead is clipped to the probe tip, select trigger to AC and attenuation at say 20mV/cm or better and go round the scope to see if you can detect the hash from the internal switchmode and workout how far the noise is propagating....
Nice looking scope there Manuel, mine has a USB interface but haven't tried it yet. The web interface would be much better, well done 🙂
thanks. you would’ve really like the web option. Makes life a lot easier.
Another scope cool. I can see how it will make your youtube streaming easier. I thought for sure you would look for an FM stereo generator or a distortion analyzer or a spectrum analyzer. Myself I ordered a TinySA...it is a nice stocking stuffer toy.
The idea is to not choose just one thing ... :)
Congratulations!!!!! please, use another great feature - BODE PLOT !!!
I’m really keen to use that, but need an appropriate signal generator to do so. The one I have can’t be used for the job.
@@electronicsoldandnew , if you have a simple&cheap FY6600, FY6800 or FY6900 signal generator, you can use it with your Siglent. Just make an "adapter" like from here : ua-cam.com/video/3_4DelT9P2A/v-deo.html
its just what you needed
👍
Ho ho ho, you do realise that with all this time & effort saving we shall expect more videos **GRINS**
😃
Nice scope! I was wondering when you'd trade up your old Rigol. I have the Rigol's big brother, the DS1054Z (with DS1104Z firmware), and like it a lot. Probably not as feature-rich as the Siglent but it, too, has a Web UI. I've not tried it yet but it's on my list to learn as I teach myself the scope's more advanced features. So much has changed since I went to university. BTW, what screen recording software do you use?
I use Quicktime on my MAC and ActivePresenter on my PC.
Is this available on the 100MHz model? This is really cool.
I believe so. Check out their website.
In the spring i thought, this one is it. Now i know, i was right. Next spring perhaps.
👍
No it does not generate the address, it sources it from your router. And do not worry, 192.168.x.y addresses are not accessible from the internet (so called "private network number") ;) Great Xmas gift!
👍
Nice tool! I own an unbranded multimeter. Doesnt even have a beep. But then again, I dont do youtube videos or fancy radio repairs :)
👍 Sometimes the user is more important than the equipment 😊
True. Still it does make your hobby life easier and improves the quality of your visual presentation. Which was quite fine to be honest. I do feel a bot of a problem with sound level. I find its most of the times a bit too low. Is it just me?
I set the final volume level slightly below max. Maybe I should re-think that setting. Thanks for the feedback.
Sweet!!
👍
I'v been comparing the 2-channel version of this against the Rigol DS1202Z-E,
their both excellent scopes with a lot of nice features.
Guess I'll go for the Rigol since it's a newer scope, the Siglent has been on the market for over 3 years now.
But then again I'm not sure... :-)
I had the same problem deciding. I then chose the augment because of this feature and the bofe plot function, so now i need a new signal generator too 😊
Hi, did you go with RIGOL? Is this SIGLENT not good enough? I need to decide too!!!
I’m tending towards Siglent
@@electronicsoldandnew Thanx sir, What's the best choice, Sds 1104x-U or 1204x-e?
I'm asking cuz someone said something about 1204x-e be an very old model!
I’m not too up to date on that. Mine is a Siglent SDS1204X-E and works just fine for my needs. It’s 200MHz which I really needed.
Nice toy :D
Looks like it has a web server built into the scope, nice. Hopefully you are getting a 192.168.x.x address or 10.10.x.x address so it's not publicly routable on the WAN (internet).. Maybe your getting IPv6 on the island now as well...
Try playing around with OBS studio. It's open source and you can crop a section of your computer screen to capture its video directly off of the computers video card. It not that hard to use. I have it capturing the entirety of on of my monitors on my rig.
Cheers,
Yes, it’s 198.... etc.
I use a screen recording software in my PC (can’t remember which one), but much prefer using my MAC as it is very easy with Quicktime.
