To enter a key via the scope's interface is a pain in the ass.
It's much easier, faster and less prone to error, to connect your scope to your pc via LAN, and use telnet.

Check the IP-address of your scope in the scopes menu.

On your pc, open a console and enter:

telnet 192.168.1.17 5555     (modify the IP-address)

Check connectivity using the command:

*IDN?

The scope will respond with brand, model and serial number.

Now enter:

:SYST:OPT:INST PDUY9N9QTS9PQSWPLAETRD3UJHYA   (replace the key with yours)

That's all.

I didn't know you could do it with telnet, I thought you had to install that horrible driver software from the CD.

Edit: I just tried it and it works  :)

In case you have to send it back for service/repair and you want to remove the installed options:

:SYST:OPT:UNINST

will uninstall the installed options.

I've posted on the use of telnet to talk to the scope several times (at least nine times in fact). See my posts from July of 2015 for example:

Before my time here...  Nevertheless, it works perfectly although I had hoped for some kind of prompt.  Talking to a blank screen is a little disconcerting.

Given that Telnet works, which means a simple TCP connection will probably also work, there's no reason to get locked in to the provided software.  It might take a little packet sniffing to see how things work.

I'll have to give that a try next time I have my Linux system running.
Not that I need the feature, really, just a curiosity.

No need to. Everything is documented (in theory and besides bugs):

Related to the vertical positioning response speed that's become the new DS1054Z-hater's whipping-post:

I wonder how smoothly the signal traces can be moved up/down the screen using the SCPI interface.

Follow up on the panel LED not turning off problem...

I have been using the scope with faulty panel lights because I can't afford to be without my scope for two weeks.

I plug the usb drive with new firmware in the scope right after I switch on the scope.

This time, the scope turn on and the lights are normal. It fixed the problem without upgrading the firmware.

I suspect the scope did some sneaky things (write flash?) without user confirmation.

After I recalibrate the scope, the problem came back. It is probably a hardware failure at this point.

Definitely worth downloading and reading.  I doubt that I will ever do anything with it but it's nice to have the information.

So yes, a BIG improvement.  Massive. Looks like the DS1000Z firmware team have returned. :-+

For general information, I come from a really old firmware (04.02.sp4) and upgrading to 04.04.01.01 has slowed down the vertical movement noticeably when in STOP mode. I tried just before the update with the test signal and in STOP mode it was so very fluid - almost CRO-like, I'd say - a now it's not noticeably different from the RUN mode.

It appears, though, that in RUN mode things got a little better. The waveform appear to shim a little bit, but... oh, well.

Ok, now I'll go see what is new... :-)


Oh, BTW: does it matters to have only one or all four channel when doing an autocalibration?

The directions say to remove the 4 probes, that's all that is required.  The test program will deal with the channels in its own way.  You will see the traces moving up and down.

Hello,
I cannot check the detailed systeminfo. I cannot tip faster.
Anyone the same problem?

Works fine for me. Menu, Menu, Force, Menu. That's the only part of the sequence that you press in quick succession. Then, access the System Info screen normally. Maybe you're going too fast and the scope is missing one or more key presses.

There is NEW Firmware available now for the MSO/DS1000Z Oscilloscopes
FW Version: 00.04.04.01.01
Released: 2016/09/14
 o  Added support for the multi-inteface of LXI
 o  Fixed bugs with Auto-Measurement functions

http://int.rigol.com/File/ProductSoftWare/20160914/DS1000Z(ARM)update.rar

Edit:  I see now (thanks to 'alsetalokin4017') that 'IAmBack' reported this firmware release in 'Reply #2878' on September 14, 2016.  https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/new-rigol-ds1054z-oscilloscope/msg1026216/#msg1026216   I don't know how I missed seeing this. :palm:   If you go back and read the reply's after his post you will see responses to the fixes.

Coming thick and fast now!

They've changed the way the vertical movement works so it's now continuous movement while you turn the knob.

With one channel on it's very responsive. Not quite analog, but not bad.

Two channels a little bit worse.

Three channels... a bit worse.

Four channels... a bit laggy and some overshoot. It's OK with a delicate touch, hamfisted youtube bloggers will hate on it.

Overall? It's an improvement. With one or two channels enabled it's definitely better.  :-+

Just checked the extended system info (menu,menu,force,menu) on my recently purchased 1054Z and I get the following versions:-

Software 00.04.04.00.07
Firmware 0.2.3.11

So a little confused as to what the latest actually is?
