Hi,
as this is my first post - hello everybody.
I recently got my 1052 from ebay (it was a little cheaper and as I wanted to hack it anyways..) it was HW 58 with 00.02.06.00.01 installed (purchased 02-nov-2012). -> See attached images b4.jpg and after.jpg
I used Gizmo's firmware (as it was apparently less permanent and less prone to fail).
It worked like a charm and I now have a 100MHz scope!
It also doesn't seem to have the display flicker problem reported by others.
-but-
- I can confirm that the scope won't autoscale into 2ns/div, even with a 435.1MHz signal (which I don't care about because I don't use this button anyway ...
).
- I have made some images from the trigger delay problem, once from a 144.050 MHz signal 'loosely fed' into CH1 in EQU and REAL mode; with trigger sensitivity set to .1 div. As well as from a 435.100 MHz signal coupled the same way (...
...) also REAL and EQU. (I had no other way of generating frequencies that high except from my ham radio.)
Intrestingly the 435.1 MHz signal is spot on in equ mode (but not in real), whereas the 144MHz are all over the place (regardless of the mode).
Might actually correspond to the fact that i fed in repetitive signals and no bursts.
Well, that's that. I am actually not that worried about the trig delay, because i also own a UNI-T 100MHz scope, and whith that one I'm glad when it triggers at all...
Keep up the great work and thanks Gizmo for the great hack and making my life easier!
