SDS1202X-E Oscilloscope Unboxing And First Test @weirdboyjim

Uploaded October 2019 | Updated September 2026, 1 week ago

I need to do some troubleshooting on my CPU build that would benefit from some new tools, so this was an ideal time to get myself an oscilloscope.

I purchased the "Siglent Technologies SDS1202X-E Digital Oscilloscope", it has 2 channels and is 200mhz. In this video I unbox and take it for a test run on one of my development circuits.

If you have the early version (Serial number starting "BA") there is a probe compensation issue, these videos from Defpom explain it and show the fix:
