Make sure you haven't set the pc connection mode to pictbridge, i did that while playing first and then couldn't connect via ultrascope. The scope was actually installing automatically as an imaging device and it was giving the same two options you mentioned in ultrascope.

I just checked and the setting is under Utility > IO Setting > USB Device. It should be set to Computer, not PictBridge

Hi Chet
I think I am one step closer because of your help. I had forgotten to mention that when I would plug in the USB wire it would see the scope as a camera. I corrected the Utilities setting to USB Comupter as you mentioneed. Now when I connect to the scope I have 3 options. The first 2 that I mentioned and now a USB followed by some numbers. When I click on that option I do not get an error but nothing appears on the screen of ultrascope. I have removed both Ultrascope and Visa  reinstalled both but nothing changes . Anymore suggestins?
Thx
f

Hi Chet
Eureka!
Thanks for your help. Ultrascope is now working and finally I can continue with the conversion process.  I also apologize to all that I have offended for posting in multiple forums. I am new to online forums and obviously not an expert as most of you appear to be. Thx to all that  replied to my panic state.

Which version of Ultrascope finally worked? (00.01.07 or 00.01.08?)

It was Chet T16 that came up with the answer to my problem. In Utilities the setting was incorrect "Utility > IO Setting > USB Device. It should be set to Computer, not PictBridge" It was seeing the scope as a camera. I am pretty sure that the version of Ultrascope had no influence finally.
Regards

congratulation! you made it continuing again until we see another 2.06 firmware ;)

I hope the George's hack will work for longer time, as Rigol guys can not do too much with header.
Expecting they want the old firmware be able to upgrade, the header format will remain unchanged.
Great work, George!

I received my DS1052E this week. I’m amazed with its functionalities for such a cheap scope. The ‘Alternate Trigger’ is a must!! It’s like having two oscilloscopes in one package (with some time limitations of course).
Very nice!
Best regards,
johnmx

Thank you, tonva!

it uses the zlib, so someone can think there is more open source software used...
i don't think so, there are no indications thats used linux.

Why is the trace on the screen yellow while the channel 1 is marked orange??

Because, yellow doesn't stand out very well on beige, unlike the traces on a black screen. Orange does and is close enough to yellow to avoid any confusion. Was that trivial enough?

I found this DS1102D at school lab. All the small knobs are cracked. The fan is loud, but acceptable. The XY mode works very weird. Worse than that old HP 54600 scope...


The XY mode often gives bad frequency readouts. And it seems to be crippled.

The XY behaviour is similar to this rebadged Rigol sold as Agilent DSO1022A.

See:

https://www.eevblog.com/forum/blog/changing-the-rigol-ds1052e-to-ds1102e-using-usb-the-dummy-guide/msg33581/#msg33581

XY has limits but the video you show isn't a bug, but the result of its slow scan rate and the scale used.

Well, that old HP 54600 had no problems with a 100MHz signal in XY mode. Turning the timebase (horizontal) knob has no effect.
While at that Rigol the XY mode is affected by horizontal scale knob and my the memory length setting... Users know about this issue. But it was new for me.

Which firmware version changed the waveform format?
« Reply #820 on: January 20, 2014, 02:20:26 am »
I'm trying to work out which firmware version introduced a protocol change.

Please see this thread if you can help by checking your own device's response:

Thanks!

Guys, I'm here with an "existential doubt": is this rigol still a good buy, or it's better to spend 80€ more on the newer DS1054Z? For now, I don't have any ideas of give use to all the 4 channels of the 1054, but I don't know the use I'll give to the scope in the future and I'm afraid of this 80€ saving that could eventually cost more in a few months...


Just for a final note, I'm about to finish my course in EE this summer.

The Z is better all around bang for buck for new buys.  My 1052e does what I need so no need for another scope, but on passing I notice more QC issues with 1000s after 2011, so the older generation were also built better.

Thanks for that. So the Z version is the better choise, despite all the drawbacks and the price difference.

Yes, the Z has bugs as well as production QC issues, and the 1000 series has QC issues but less bugs.  But overall the advantages of the Z series outweigh its faults.  Wherever you are in the world, buy it locally to you, to avoid warranty hassles.

Thanks for that. So the Z version is the better choise, despite all the drawbacks and the price difference.
