Firmware Upgrade Information
To ensure full functionality, the SLA1016 requires the correct digital firmware in addition to the oscilloscope’s main system firmware.
-
The latest release, Version 8.2.3 (January 2024), adds support for SDS1000X HD and SDS800X HD series scopes.
-
Older revisions, such as 8.1.16 (May 2019), optimized the FPGA and fixed MSO measurement bugs.
-
Versions earlier than 8.1.16 are only compatible with specific oscilloscope firmware and must be upgraded in stages.
Compatibility Highlights
-
SDS1000X HD / SDS800X HD: Requires SLA1016 v8.2.3 with scope firmware ≥ v1.1.0.2.
-
SDS2000X-E: Compatible with SLA1016 v8.1.16 when scope firmware ≥ v1.1.19R2.
-
SDS1000X-E: Compatible with SLA1016 v8.1.16 when scope firmware ≥ v6.1.33.
Update Instructions
-
Always check your scope’s firmware version before upgrading the SLA1016.
-
If your SLA1016 is older than v8.1.16, it must first be updated using an older compatible scope (SDS1000X-E < v6.1.33 or SDS2000X-E < v1.1.18).
-
After updating the SLA1016, you can then safely upgrade the oscilloscope to the latest firmware.
-
Updates are applied through the oscilloscope’s Digital → System → Upgrade menu using a FAT32-formatted USB stick.
With the correct firmware installed, the SLA1016 unlocks reliable digital acquisition and full MSO capabilities on your Siglent oscilloscope.
