The Rigol DS1052E

<< < (79/166) > >>

Michael:
Thank you people who found this nice mod.

I just did the mod. But why is everyone using serial cable and some kind of terminal program?
I used the VB Rigol Visa Demo with an USB cable. Am i'm missing something ? Hack seems to be permanent after powercycle ???

btw. had to download visa441runtime , the one supplied with the CD didn't work in Windows 7.

No problem.  

BTW, I'd never deal with a fraudulent website like that.  I.e., one that inflates the price, then has it "On Sale" for the full MSRP.  (Like the DS1204B at $2500 "list", "on sale" for $1900.)  That's just BS.  Two thumbs down, there.

it's just easier and most people have a serial cable laying around anyway, wack the cable in and throw the commands at it, no need to worry about getting the USB to work,

dimlow:
Try getting USB and Windows 7 64 bit to work!

Well Maybe if Rigol made some decent drivers for it. It really pees me off that Some suppliers simply ignore that fact that serious users will be using a serious Operating system and never supply the full set of drivers.

Simon:
The rigol as far as I know does not work under window Vista at least I had no success, I would assume that it is the same for Win7. yea as it has been noted before they do the absolute minimum and have made their products outdated when it comes to PC interfacing, I hardly consider Rigol a serious company for this, the quality of their scopes in the light of this to me is a fluke I only bought mine because people raved about it, and it proved a good buy.
