The Rigol DS1052E
saturation:
Here's a translated copy of the judgment against ATTEN for copying Rigol's DSO, to which Rigol does hold some patents:

the most important part is : "Court ... rejected Rigol claims". A patent for piece of standard electronic component combined into a specific function (like here video trigger) is a joke. The most important part are not the components, it is the firmware.
I don't see any patent violations even if someone just copied 1:1 the whole PCB/parts, just because they can do with different firmware different things. For sure we know that ATTEN did reversed parts of firmware and implemented on already 1:1 cloned hardware - and that's why Rigol is pissed off - but as long you have you own written firmware everything fine (even in NA), you have only to follow rules of legal reverse engineering.

Hey, does anyone know if all the serial commands for rigols interface are listed somewhere? I didn't find them in the manual. Found some small tutorial on serial communication with rigol equipment from their site but it did not list commands. I'm asking because I'm writing a C++ library (and hopefully a terminal tool you can use in scripts and such) for communicating with the DS1052E/DS1102E. I have quite a lot of commands implemented already (like reset, stop, run, force, IDN, voltage scale, voltage offset, memdepth, time scale, time offset, probe attenuation, coupling, lock/unlock the scope and how to read raw data) but I'm missing quite a lot of commands. For example I haven't found how I can enable/disable channels and how I can read/change the trigger settings. After those I think I'd have a pretty usable library. Anyone have any info on those?

I found the Rigol DS1000E programming guide on their site.... that may be what you need as it contains all manner of commands.

That looks exactly what I need, thanks!
