Ah, this is what I wanted to know! Someone once wrote, that the 40 pin header near the front of the PCB would go directly to the "SCSI" connector on the front bezel - which I doubted, and unfortunately was right... OK, so the 1xxxE -> 1xxxD "modding" is buried for me, as I already own an Intronix Logicport LA (nice part btw.!), it would just have been a nice addition to i.e. have more trigger channels.

from the commands manual I downloaded do I correctly understand that the whole scope can be command line controlled froma pc as it would from it's own control panel ? and of course for doing things like this

Not sure that there are actual apps on the CD, but there are some programming examples in the PDF which show you how to use the required libraries (I think these were on the CD, else they're on the rigol site).

I used a Linux machine, which has support for USBTMC (USB Test and Measurement Class) in the kernel. As soon as the scope is connected, it appears as a character device which you can read from and write to.

yes I think there are just examples available on the CD no actual software. what is the easiest software to use ?

I just used a linux machine, and simply echoed the commands to the device port. So that would get my vote for easiest!  ;)

I guess for building the example software under windows, whatever you're most comfortable with (I think there were examples for VB and VC).
Simon:
hm I could set up ubuntu on an old machine running off a live cd, but then I'll still have to find out how I "talk" to the rigol

I use Agilent's IO Libraries instead of NI Visa. There is a tool included in the Agilent IO Libraries that allows you to send raw commands to your devices, including the Rigol scope.
