I soldered the components to turn my DSOX1102A into a DSOX1102G, and I got the function generator to work but the amplitude of the signals is too high and causes signal clipping.
If I set the amplitude to a lower values the signals look fine.
When I traced back the signals, I could see it is the DAC itself that is outputting the larger than supposed amplitude and not the opamps that I soldered. It seems like the function generator is missing a calibration.
Can anyone who tried this let me know if you experienced a similar issue and how it can be fixed?
Thanks

I had that and it was fixed after running a user calibration. The scope however needs to be modded to the proper model with the strapping resistors.

Hello all,
I did go thru all thread, great work! thanks for effort, now I am happy user of DSOX1102A.
I have a couple a questions:
 - Is fercsa.ksx can be applicable for FW 01.20 ? Found answer in post #767
 - Is anybody tried solder not populated components for signal generator?

Thanks!

Hi All I found all answers thanks.
I did order parts, but I disappointed with BNC connector... The BNC jack which used in DSOX 1102X is non-standard...
Is anybody know part number for BNC which Keysight use?

Thanks

I am going to start with: https://www.eevblog.com/forum/blog/eevblog-978-keysight-1000x-hacking/msg2544486/#msg2544486
The unspecified caps and inductor I am going use some regular value - I have standard kit of caps and inductors.
But I stuck with BNC it has smaller layout than regular BNC jack...

No ( since layout size for mounting posts biggest then layout at the PCB...
I already bought nice metallic BNC jack with the same size but it not fit.
I just wondering is any other BNC size for mounting posts is exists or Keysight use some custom BNC jack.

Do you think this BNC connector might work?

https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/te-connectivity-amp-connectors/1-1634505-0/1755945
It took me months to find the correct BNC for the 1000X (EDUX1052A) and this one fits perfectly: https://fieldcomponents.com/RFB-1112-1B.html

Did you make any photos? How many components do i need to do this modification? Because i did not disassemble yet my scope.

Hóóóii!
Can I help with this? Or isn't necessary anymore.

I've flashed the 1.2 hack on my EDUX1002A that i've bought with my first jobs!(factory eletronics/Firmware V1.1).

I get a little problem when measuring signals like Probe Comp,
Aparently there is a bug on display signal/points(?)

So I've downloaded and flashed the FERCA v1.1, aparently everything is fine, now I can try to use UART/i2c which was my biggest curiosity.

Has anyone scheduled all the upgrades we can do on an edux1002?
Without hardware, basically we can enable i2c and uart functions...maybe the acquisition memory?

With hardware we can modify the band from 50 to 200Mhz and add a functions generator, would the memory acquisition part be here too(on the dso model resistors select)?

Dave is the best english teacher ever!
best regards

You should try the original 1.2 firmware and if the problem is there, report it to Keysight.

But...wait ! There is more !    :D

It comes with 2 Megapoints of memory , double of what was achieved until now   :box:



I used hacked 1.20 firmware.
Everything is a full option. Thank you sir.

Is the memory now 2M?
Or should I use another method?

Here are test screenshots of memory depth of 1 and 2 MPoints - the 1.20 firmware captures twice as much of a waveform with 2 MPoints.





Edit: Mind you this is the EDUX which stock model comes with only 0.1 MPoints.  :D

A few more notes on Keysight acquisition memory.

The Single acquisition memory is the amount of sampling memory used when you press the “Single” button. In this mode the scope in general uses all available memory in full (still depends on Time/div setting). Attached is information that was collected from the Keysight 1000x Infiniivision oscilloscopes user manual. I think this information is important to understand and is worth memorizing (no pun intended) to be able to apply it to specific use cases and to maximize useful memory that will be used by the scope.

Segmented Memory mode:

We previously talked that v1.20 hack enabled 2 MPoints of  Single acquisition memory and referred to Keysight’s explanation how it is used in different acquisition modes. Now, in reality things are a bit more complicated and may be confusing to an extent. This specifically applies to Segmented memory mode. Surprisingly, in fact FERSA 1.10 hack already made 2M Points of Segmented memory available, but it could only be used by the scope in Segmented mode (vs 1M points in Single acquisition mode). This new v1.20 hack has liberated 2M points for Single acquisition mode while Segmented memory stayed at 2M points. It is probably fair to say that most of the users will use Single acquisition mode much more often than Segmented one, so doubling the Single acquisition memory in v1.20 hack was of a great value to them.

To add to the confusion, the v1.20 hack actually also increased utilization of the Segmented memory by the scope. Stay with me to understand why. Let’s for the moment refer back to the following part of the above screenshot about the maximum number of data points:

Quote
- Whether segmented memory (available on DSOX1000-Series models) is on. Acquisition memory is divided by the number of segments

I found the second part of it not being entirely accurate. Calculating the number of points per segment is not as simple as dividing total memory by the number of segments. The scope seems to have a sophisticated algorithm for memory partitioning in Segmented mode and the number of points not always adds to 2M points. I am guessing this may be because some of the memory is used by the scope to perform the task for calculations, indexing of segments and such. It may vary as much as 50% depending on the number of segments selected by the user and is especially pronounced at low segments count, approaching more or less even and full memory utilization at higher segments count.

If that was not enough of a confusion and you want more, here it is. In Segmented memory mode there are actually two of them: Linear and Circular.  Up until this point we were talking about Linear segmented mode. When you select Linear segmented mode, the scope will wait until all of segments are filled with data and then automatically stop the acquisition and display the captured data. In Circular mode the scope will continuously wrap around after all of segments are filled and it is up to the user when to hit the Stop button (while running in Circular the scope will display a rough segment counter but will not display the signal being acquired).

But this is not the only difference between Linear and Circular modes. They also seem to have different memory allocation algorithms. Number of memory points per segment in Circular mode always is less than that of in Linear mode under all other conditions being equal. My guess is the same as in the Linear mode this may be because of additional overhead required by the scope to perform the task, plus some more for additional calculation or alignment of segments, or to maximize the speed, do not know. The difference in number of samples per segment for a given Time/div between Circular and Linear modes can be as big as 50 %, that is – in Circular mode you may get twice as less number of points per segment then in Linear mode (depending on the number of segments). I think this is something that may need to be understood and kept in mind.

Now to the good news: the v1.20 mem hack provides an improvement in memory utilization in both Linear and Circular segmented modes, as much as 30% at some lower segments count. The chart below represents memory utilization in Linear mod for v1.20 with no mem hack and the same v1.20 with one.

Replacing the splash screen on 1000X:

You can use the attached scripts to install and restore a custom boot splash screen. The scripts were tested on EDUX 1002A but are expected to work for other 1000X series scopes. Instructions are in Readme files and are self-explanatory.

A few ready to use splash screen samples are also attached. You can use your own image but you need to format it to the specs outlined in the Readme file in Install Splash zip archive.

Here is the Altium parkour image installed as the custom splash screen on the EDUX:

Hacking into the WinCE shell:

The attached script allows to drop into the WinCE operating system shell. From there you can browse around and explore the application files/data, run external tools from USB to explore the Registry, run DOOM, etc. You can connect a keyboard or mouse to the USB port. This is more of a tool to satisfy your curiosity rather than anything for normal scope use.

This tool is based on an other fellow's work published earlier in this thread. My contribution was to wrap it in a script to make it simple to use.

Hi,

add a line with "copy" works great ...

%1\ShowTaskbar.exe
copy \Secure\cal\*.* \USB\
\windows\cmd.exe /c \windows\createUserAccounts.exe

If you want to make a copy of the calibration files you can simply run that command from the command line after dropping into WinCE shell.
