New Rigol DS1054Z oscilloscope

[Fennec]

What I don't understand is what is so special at this program? If the connection wouldn't work, the program is useless. Every OS has included telnet (on Windows you have to activate telnet, but it is included), my mobile phone can do telnet. What's with Linux based systems without desktop? telnet can handle the scope without any desktop backgrounds.
telnet do the same as your program. Okay, I can't use a mouse, that's all.

[Fennec]

You're right, the program can do nothing better than Telnet. I have programmed the program for myself, and also made available to others. Sorry, I did not want to advertise, I deleted my post.

I wouldn't make you sick. I'm sorry.

So... he added something extra?

   Never apologize for stuff like that. Put it back!

You mean German? (There is no "Swiss language" as such — though there are Swiss German and Romansh — and .at means Austria, which is German-speaking.)

For my needs, Peter's screen copy program is perfect:

• It is fast and lightweight and does all I need. (Takes screenshots -- I don't want to operate the actual scope from the PC screen; I like real knobs!).
• It works over a USB connection as well as LAN, and USB transfer seems faster.
• It is very easy to use, and I don't have to remember SCPI commands via telnet. (I don't use scope screenshots all that often.)

Many thanks for the great work, Peter!

Telnet can not do the same as a program. Telnet can not be used to transfer binary data. Some implementations of the Telnet protocol will silently drop some characters, like e.g. chr(0). It is so because of the RFC854 telnet protocol specification (see page 10). Also, with a program one can do automated tests or even implement an SCPI control automation (like a PID temperature loop for a soldering iron  https://rogeorge.wordpress.com/2016/09/23/zero-parts-thermostated-soldering-station/)

For SCPI commands sent manually, better use NetCat (AKA 'nc'). 'nc' is a standard network tool for *nix distros. On the contrary to Telnet, Netcat can open a TCP connection without filtering out any characters. 'nc' was ported for Windows too.

I'm unable to access the "network settings" portion of the web interface on a ds1054z (04.04.SP1) The page prompts for credentials but the defaults (empty username, "111111" as password) don't work.

Interestingly enough it is possible to successfully change the password in a different part of the web interface (no username is required to do this) using "111111" as the old password. So the default password does seem to be valid. Any thoughts on this?

I mailed this question to Rigol support for my scope and received next answer:
  Could you try this user name / password with your device, please?
  username: test
  password.: 111111

  Please note: password / user name doesn't work on some units.
  If you have the same behavior this will be reworked with next firmware update (planned end of January 2017).

I hope this helps.

It's rigollan/111111 - I just grepped it out of the firmware strings and tried it on my scope.

I also have 04.04.SP1 (aka 04.04.01.01 ?) and cannot login to view/change Network Settings.  I too got told to try "test/111111" by Rigol Support and it didn't work.

I have just tried "rigollan/111111" which doesn't work for me unfortunately "smithnerd" - may I ask which version of firmware you are using and/or grepped to find that string?

As a really new newbie I can't even find the 04.04.SP1 firmware to download to grep: Rigol seem to have withdrawn it from the page often quoted as

 http://int.rigol.com/Support/SoftDownload/3

Pragmatically it is probably best to wait for the next firmware update; Rigol are saying that this is a bug (which mysteriously affects only some owners) and that the update will fix that bug.  Hopefully they will also tell us what the correct username is too!

[hexreader]

It's no good, I can't hold off from asking any longer....

I too have MSO1104Z 04.04.sp1 and password of 111111 is not recognised.

If I did ever gain a valid username and password, then what exciting new things will I be able to do please?

I suspect that I am missing nothing much, but worry that I may be missing out on something fantastic.

Please put my mind at rest ....   many thanks

[metrologist]

What are you folks talking about with passwords? I don't recall any password screen on my scope.

[spacesloth0x]

Thanks smithnerd and stilter for the feedback, unfortunately neither usernames work.

@smithnerd, what firmware version did you check? Is it possible to just binwalk the file? If I remember correctly the 04.04 SP1 firmware was recalled, could it be possible that there are multiple versions of it?

@hexreader just tcp settings so nothing related to measurements
@metrologist authentication is required for network configuration on the web interface

You make it sound like this thing has a web UI, so I can just enter the IP of the scope and I will get a UI in my browser, like most ethernet devices...

[ankerwolf]

Hello,

... has a web UI, so I can just enter the IP of the scope and I will get a UI in my browser, ...

Yes, so it is!
You need Username and Password for the "Network Settings".

EDIT: With the Version 00.04.04.03.05: username: rigolan   password: 111111

... has a web UI, so I can just enter the IP of the scope and I will get a UI in my browser, ...

Yes

Didn't know that. I keep being surprised by the things it can do.

Check it !

[metrologist]

Oh, that kind of UI, not instrument UI. What would be the utility of it?

[smithnerd]

Not much. I'd prefer to switch this feature off, if I could.

IP settings snapshot attached for those who are curious.

This time I logged in with blah/111111 so it's not fussy (this particular scope is still running 04.03.02.03).

Has anybody tried an empty username and '111111'?

Code: [Select]

$ strings 4411/SparrowAPP.out | grep -C 3 "111111"

/lxi/identification/LXIIdentification.xsd
/sys/lxi_web.hex
rigollan

[RoGeorge]

From my understanding, mostly because it's a request of the LXI standard. Without that web page, the instrument is not LXI certified.
I guess LXI specifications mandate a web interface so a human operator can find/set the network settings remotely, without physical access to the instrument, but I might be wrong.

Sorry, with Firmware Revision:    00.04.04.SP1
Username: blah
Password: 111111
does not work!

Empty username does not work.

EDIT: But with 00.04.04.03.05 is the right username: rigolan    password: 111111

Just got a new DS1054Z delivered and have tested it and am pretty impressed. Its a big upgrade over my old Tektronics TDS 210!

The new scope came with the current Boot and Board V0.1.4 and Firmware V00.04.04.01.01 and the build date is Aug 23 2016.

I have followed the unlock code instructions and used the website hosted unlock app and also downloaded and ran the code from the website in Firefox browser. Both codes given for the unlock option of DSER are identical. I have tried 3 times to apply the unlock code without any success, all I get is a "Invalid Code" message.

Would really appreciate any insights into the mysteries of unlocking the scope!

I have read page 1 of this forum and followed the instructions as described. Is it possible that on my new scope the unlock codes are truly invalid?

[Daruosha]

You should remove dashes "-" from serial number and put in the keygen. That's a common mistake among new buyers.

[bitseeker]

If it's a DS model, not an MSO, then the decoder does work, even on the latest version. Check that you didn't include dashes, as Daruosha said, and that you don't have any typos.

Note that if you fail to enter a valid code too many times, then the scope will temporarily lock you out and entering any code, even a correct one, will fail. Unfortunately, the "temporary" period is 12 hours of the scope being on. Since the scope doesn't have a real-time clock, it must be left on for 12 hours to clear the lockout.

[1anX]

I read thru the forum and found a post that suggested all fields, (at least the first 2 anyway) should be cleared before entering the serial and options data. I did this and it all worked like a charm, but clearing out the options and serial characters is essential for it to work. Trap for newcomers like me!

Initially I just backspaced into the existing characters to erase them and typed in my data. It did not work for me until I highlighted the existing characters (the D... and the AAAA) and deleted them and then entered my data.

[bitseeker]

Glad you got it working. I never cleared those out when I used it, but it was some time ago. Enjoy your scope!

[Housedad]

Thank you to everyone that has contributed to the issues and unlocking of the DS1054Z.  I ordered from TEquipment, and received mine today.  I just got it unlocked without any problems at all.  One thing that seems odd about this one, though, is The build date, calibration date, and their relation to the versions of the board and software.  maybe I'm seing it wrong, but it seems like the unit was calibrated 11 months after the manufacture date.  go figure.

Software (firmware) 00.04.03.02.03
board ver   0.1.4
boot ver   0.0.1.4
build date Sept 11 2015

The factory calibration page date  is July 11, 2016.

It seems thats the usual result for most, (not clearing out) and it did generate code but the code was given "invalid code" msg on the scope.
I wonder if its simply a browser cache issue causing it?
Thanks all for your help and support!
