Do your instruments support UDP communications over LAN?
August 5, 2021
Not at this time. Many instruments support communication via sockets (port 5025) and telnet (port 5024) but the port numbers cannot be changed. If you use VISA, you can implement LAN via TCP/IP, which does not need a port number. Here is a listing of current SIGLENT instruments with Socket and Telnet Support.

Simply access the Save/Recall menu for the instrument in question and select Local. The menu will show used/total amounts. Here, the SDG6X has approximately 83 MB and the SDG1X has 85 MB of memory:
Software: SIGLENT spectrum analyzers are compatible with TekBox EMCView software
June 14, 2021
Siglent analyzers (SSA/SSA plus/SSA -R and SVA series) are now compatible with the latest version of EMCView software from Tekbox: EMCview PC software for EMC pre-compliance testing
May 7, 2021
Per OSHA, a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL) is an independent third-part laboratory recognized by the United States Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to test and certify products to applicable product safety standards. Examples of NRTLs include UL, CSA, and TUV. Many SIGLENT products are TUV certified, which also covers UL and CSA requirements. To … Continued
External Clock Details for Siglent Spectrum Analyzers (SSA3X, SSA3X Plus, SVA1X, and SSA3X-R Series)
March 25, 2021
1-5Vp, 10MHz +/- 100 ppm (Sine preferred) This indicates that the external clock can be “off” from 10 MHz by +/- 100 ppm. All frequency measurements are scaled according to the clock. If the clock is not 10 MHz, then the frequencies indicated on the instrument will also be off.

How do I directly control an instrument using LAN?
February 16, 2021
For convenience, we recommend connecting your instrument to your LAN using a router that can configure DHCP directly and use an internet switch to connect the LAN to the instruments you wish to control. In some cases, you may wish to directly connect your computer to an instrument LAN port without a LAN available. This … Continued
Updated Frequency Uncertainty Calculations (SSA, SSA Plus, SVA)
September 18, 2020
Currently listed datasheet calculation for SSA Frequency Uncertainty is being updated, but as of 08/26/2020, it has not. Here is the new calculation: We can use below new specification: ± (frequency indication × frequency reference uncertainty + 1/2(span/(sweep points-1)) + 10% × resolution bandwidth + marker resolution) For example: The frequency indication is 500 … Continued
