Sniffing the Rigol's internal I2C bus

Can anyone explain why the 3rd letter for 'DS4000 all options' on http://riglol.3owl.com/ isn't the same as for all the other options? [A vs. H]
Wouldn't DSH9 work to?
...

My mistake. Has just been corrected.

My mistake. Has just been corrected.

I notice the 500µV option for DS1000z has a different 3rd letter than the other options too.
Is this a mistake too or is it supposed to be this way?
Can't recall if there's a code table for DS1000z earlier in this topic similar to the on above for DS4000? I think I've missed it if there is.

DS1000z device options:
DSAB - Advanced Triggers
DSAC - Decoders
DSAE - 24M Memory
DSAJ - Recorder
DSBA - 500uV Vertical

Has anyone tried the latest DSA815 firmware 00.01.07 with the same private key ?

Yup, works just fine.

My DSA815TG with Firmware 00.01.07 is also happy with the generated license keys.

Thanks, Dr Diesel & Hammy. Now I can update to 00.01.07 with confidence before implementing the keys.

Just remember, once you implement the keys on a DSA815-TG, they can't be undone.

My new DS2072 was delivered from TEquipment today.  It has FW version 0.01.01.00.02 and hardware 1.0.2.0.0.  I haven't tried the keygen or any Ultra Sigma commands yet since I want to become reasonably familiar with basic operation first.  TE had 46 units of DS2072 in stock today, down from 50 yesterday.  They probably won't last very long.

I got my 2072 yesterday as well, and I have it already fully unlocked!!!! Thanks so much to all the contributors.

Which keygen and parameters did you use?  Have you checked if it uninstalls without issue?

Great work people!

I was wondering if anyone has tried working on the mixed signal oscilloscopes.

Is it possible to unlock all the features on say a ds1052d to become a ds1102d?

This thread is a great read!

Nobody has one yet that I know of.  Mine is scheduled to ship the 11th of this month, we'll know soon enough!

The DS1052D does not have any locked 'features' - it's an older Rigol product from several years back (and soon to be phased-out by Rigol, I suspect). The thread investigation (and subsequent keygen(s)) is focused on the new Rigol products introduced within the last two years which have purchasable upgrade options - beginning with the DS4000 series.

Check this topic on how to upgrade the old DS1052D to DS1102D (and DS1052E to DS1102E): https://www.eevblog.com/forum/blog/changing-the-rigol-ds1052e-to-ds1102e-using-usb-the-dummy-guide/

* To change an DS1052D (the model with Logic Analyser) into an 1102D the steps should be just the same, the serial number however should be changed from DS1ECxxxxxx (1052D model) to DS1EAxxxxxx (1102D model) See here.

Is there a post number or web page that has a step-by-step procedure with the most up-to-date instructions to unlock the DS2072 (geared toward a newbie)?

The best I've found so far is here:
http://freneticrapport.blogspot.com/2013/07/raspberry-pi-rigol-ds2072-200mhz.html

But it was posted/updated way back in July...so not sure if there is something better since then...

• Read this topic, you will probably learn a lot and avoid some mistakes in the updating process. And maybe even be able to help other members out with questions or further hacking. Lazy people will skip this step.
• Make sure your have updated your Rigol to the latest firmware version before entering any keys. Except for DP832 where Rigol has changed the keys in 01.08.00, so install firmware 01.06.00 before entering any keys. Then you can upgrade the firmware to 01.08.00 afterwards. Read here.
• Go to studio25's RigLOL site: http://riglol.3owl.com or Avotronics's mirror site: http://rigol.avotronics.co.uk/mirrors/riglol/
• Enter the Rigol serial number in the "Serial:" box.
• Find the correct 4 letter code for your desired option in the tables at the above website (e.g. DSAZ to enable all options on DS2000 series scopes).
• Enter this 4 letter code in the "Options:" box.
• Don't enter anything into the "Privatekey:" box, but just hit generate and it will fill out the box automatically and then generate a valid license key in a pop-up window.
• Enter this license key in the right menu on your Rigol (check your manual) and hit Apply.
• Reboot, verify options installed and enjoy!

Thanks AndersAnd!!

Even easier than I thought it would be...man, really can't wait for my scope to arrive now...

I just used studio25's web generator and generated a key for all options. I didn't check to see if they uninstall, cause I don't ever intend to remove these sweet options.

Hey folks,
Ordered a new rigol ds2072 the other day, spoke to the distributer and apparently it is the A model,
Here's hoping there's a way to hack this new version.

I need to read through this thread to get the procedure and i'll attempt that.

Is this cybernet guy still around?

He was at the forum 3½ hours ago as you can see on his profile: https://www.eevblog.com/forum/profile/?u=27189

Well, one thing the new A models are advertised to have, which the non-A's lack (at the moment) is a CAN-protocol option.  That's something I'd like to see, since I use it every day.

Possibly there will be a firmware update for the non-A's that makes CAN available there as well, but there's no guarantee.

[bobn4burton]

So is there no model distinction between the normal DS2072 or the A version?  I had seen it written as DS2072A and figured it would be separate model number.

But I don't see a DS2072A version listed on Rigol's web site, just the DS2072.  So is the A version just a newer hardware version that is still being sold as the DS2072?

[AndersAnd]

But I don't see a DS2072A version listed on Rigol's web site, just the DS2072.

Maybe you are looking at Rigol North America's website http://www.rigolna.com or Rigol Europe's website: http://www.eu.rigolna.com

DS2000A is not listed there yet so, switch to the international Rigol website in the top right corner. http://www.rigol.com and you will see both a DS2000 series + a Series DS2000A listed.
DS2000: http://www.rigol.com/prodserv/DS2000
DS2000A: http://www.rigol.com/prodserv/DS2000A

If not maybe the A model's firmware will be hacked and it'll be possible to use it on non A models.

Having read none of this topic other than instructions for compiling rigolkey, I'll make a preliminary comment on the DS1000Z's.  I've not been able to get the rigolkey program to generate a usable licence key for my DS1000Z.  Also, my private key is not suitable as it is 16 characters long rather than the 14 for the DS2000's.

I've since successfully used this 16 character private key with Rigol's licence key generator webpage and applied it to my DS1000Z.

What do you mean your private key is longer? Or are you actually talking about your serial number? That's not the same as the private key.
The private key is the same for every DS1000Z.

You can find the 4 different private keys for DP832, DS2000, DSA815 and DS1000Z respectively in riglol.c available in riglol.zip at the bottom of this website http://riglol.3owl.com
