. About the free protocol decoders, the general order of events must be, I change the SRAM, solder the four missing connections from the ASIC, patch the EEPROM, then last of all register for my free decoders, yes ?
The activation is bound to serial number and device ID. So you need to register the decoders for the patched device, not the original one.
Isn't the Zeroplus website clued up to the fact your serial number and model number no longer match ?
At least when I tried (like two years ago), they didn't care, although it's indeed quite obvious that the ID and the serial don't really match.
Has anyone performed this mod and then installed the "Protocol Analyzer Trigger plugin"
I don't think this is part of the selectable free decoders. Also I understand it's not really a hardware trigger but more a software implementation (i.e. the analyzers captures, the SW decodes until it finds the trigger and then stops and displays the result).
. Are the protocols just a serial number you enter into the software, or are they a downloaded dll as well ?
Some decoders come with the software, but most of them have to be downloaded from the (painfully slow) website.
The whole protocol download/upgrade/installation issue is a real mess. Including some very large Chinese help files in CHM format.
Has anyone done a keygen for the protocols ?
With 30 free decoders plus the one included (note that patching to e.g. C32128 brings some extra free protocols), I dind't really find the need for a keygen.
