Please note that Rigol has now resolved this issue with me see below post for more information.
Hello all, I managed to get a very good deal on an Rigol MOS 2072A at an estate sale. Unfortunately the digital probe for the logic analyzer is missing in action.
I have reached out to a few rigol dealers and they are slow to get back to me. $pecial order part. I saw one RPL2316 probe it was listed in UK for very close to the cost of a new scope in Canada. ( I am in Canada) the price was ridiculous. It would be cheaper to buy a new unit and sell it without the cable as a DS2072. See attached quote from Rigol Canada $1700. I can buy the whole scope with the probes for $56 dollars more. Hmmm. I could buy a top model Saleae or even higher end logic analyzer for less than this. I had a very good opinion of Rigol the price, performance and quality now I feel so abused 😩 .
Does anyone have any info on this probe. It would appear to be passive , just a cable. From my research there seems to be two kinds of digital probes ones with active electronics with differential amps sometime adc and memory. Other have this all in the scope and just need a shielded cable. I believe this is how it is done on this MSO.
I am considering making my own cable. Can anyone provide any information. Pin outs , connector types , confirm that it is just a cable.
Is this just a shielded cable or an active device ?
Does anyone have one to spare at a good price ?
Can this be easily and cost effectively cloned ?
Regards
David.
