If i unlock 100MHz bandwidth in my new 1054z then warranty is void.

Says who? All you did was push buttons on the front panel.

Will be overheat?

No. Everything is the same internally.

PS: It's very easy to relock it again, no traces left.

Hmm.. but Rigol knows about it.
It is simple and fast! But 1054 have a cost 350$, however 1104z - 600!!! Why??  |O

Rigol is stupid?

Buy 1104z is meaningless..

Some companies, Universities, etc. will not unlock and pay that much, so why not ask?

PS: DS1104Z with all options used to cost over $1000, the options cost more than the DS1054Z(!)

Depends.

For an individual using it for personal use (hobbyist), sure. A startup for example OTOH, not so much as they're under a lot more scrutiny to make sure they're keeping everything above board/legal so to speak.

Trust us, DO NOT hack it,its not worth your sleep, your nerves, you will getting very stress and feel sinful.

Rigol not only knows about it, they designed it that way. It's part of their sales strategy.

Notice that the MSO versions of the DS1054Z are not unlockable using Rigol. The version with the signal generator is not unlockable with Riglol, etc.

They know they will sell a lot more oscilloscopes to hobby users if features are easy to unlock.

Universities buy's oscilloscopes on eBay?  :)

Thats prices from eBye. For all.. hobbyst or no

Just weird

I'm just worried about the fact that it can be damaged on the larger bandwidth.

may be input amplifier will be overheat or ADC or etc (on larger frequrencies) and radiator is not installed for 1054 modification or other ..


I just do not believe in miracles  :-//

I guess you keep asking and doubting again and again, its clear you just want answer that what ever you wanted to hear.

Fungus already helped you, and in this forum here, especially in this DS1054Z matter, I believe that he knows what he is talking, and that include alot of hundreds or even thousands of DS1054Z owners that hacked the scope up to 100MHz.

Remember, you still don't own it, and I guess never used it too, so stop pretending that you know better than most of us DS1054Z owners here.

You're on your own and suggesting DO NOT buy it.

The unlocked Rigols do not perform like good 100 MHz oscilloscopes should but damage due to a larger bandwidth is not a concern.

I like Fungus' hypothesis about why they are unlockable while the others are not.  If Rigol was voiding warranties because these oscilloscopes were unlocked by the user, I think we would have heard of it by now.

can someone give a link where there is a comparison: before unlocking and after? or comparison of entrails

I already purchased the device. And I do not want to break it or lose the warranty. To open too it would not be desirable for self check. The case is sealed by sticker

ps. a man of the intellect is inclined to doubt  :)

You don't have to believe us, although you did ask us. And now you have multiple answers that are all in agreement without any miracles occurring.

If you're not comfortable unlocking the 100 MHz bandwidth, either buy a DS1054Z and don't unlock it or buy a DS1104Z if you want 100 MHz without unlocking. You could also buy some other brand of scope. It's your choice. Enjoy the power of your newly found freedom.

Use the forum search. There is much information.

Did Dave's teardown and semi reverse engineer of the front end use an 1104 or 1054? Somehow it was always established in my mind the hardware is exactly the same and these are software only enabled features (except the 500uV vert sensitivity).

Sure we do, we have the circuit diagrams to prove it. Dave even did a video on it:

https://www.eevblog.com/forum/blog/eevblog-675-how-to-reverse-engineer-a-rigol-ds1054z/

Nothing is overclocked, nothing will heat up, nothing bad will happen. The only change is that a low-pass filter is removed from the input.

The unlocked Rigols do not perform like good 100 MHz oscilloscopes should

That's complete rubbish. An unlocked Rigol behaves exactly like a DS1104Z (which is a good oscilloscope).

There are no "larger frequencies". The ADC sample rate is the same on both models (1Ghz).

(and everything else)

return the rigol, buy keysight. I believe its a good scope with a good money (price)... if someone expect bettle car performs like ferrarri, then just buy ferrarri.

And I was correcting him.  :popcorn:

(obviously there's more expensive 'scopes available and you'd hope to get something for yur money but that doesn't make a Rigols a bad oscilloscope)

if someone expect bettle car performs like ferrarri, then just buy ferrarri.

Don't expect to get a Ferrari for 40% more money than a beetle. Ferraris cost a lot more than that. For 40% more you just get a beetle with metallic paint and a chrome exhaust.

I'm wondering how that matters to me, that Rigol measures screen data, along with there only being 7 bits shown on the screen. I guess I should be able to figure that out.

I don't think there's a difference either, the scope is sampling at 1GSa/s

The difference in the 100MHz could be the noise, I haven't tested with mine... but having the 20MHz BW limit would only make this important while measuring 20 to 50 MHz BW signals.

If I don't know how it works, I prefer not to turn it on.
