New Rigol DS1054Z oscilloscope

[Crow]

Good News for me

i used the Tool and the first Code Successfully worked 

Thanks for all the Tips and Hints and of Course for the Amazing work 

[Bzzz]

It already has the Newest Firmware 4.02.SP4 factory installed and the Board Version jumps from 0.2.2 to 0.1.1 
as you can see on the Screenshot

Interesting. I got mine the same day from Batronix, but it has SP3 installed. Haven't tried much yet, I lack cables and adapters at home, and a (already shipped) function generator for jitter bug testing. And, guess what, my university chair of physics (where I left it for the moment) doesn't even have a function generator at all. But µA meters and Lock-In amps that are for sure much older than I am and must have cost a fortune...yeah, priorities 
Anyways, I hope I have more time next week, so that I can assemble the FG085 and try some stuff at home. Hope that's enough for jitter testing - if not, I don't care for the moment, I have no plans for projects in the MHz+ regime yet. Same goes for the Riglol upgrades, I don't need pirated keys for stuff that I'm not even using. Not even sure if I unlock the 100 MHz one day, even if that's not an upgrade that Rigol offers for cash.

Hi all,
Maybe interesting for those living (or working) in Germany: I received my DS1054z yesterday (10 days for the delivery). I bought it at innet24.de through meinpaket.de with a 7% discount. I checked today and it's now 5% (5SPAREN code)

http://www.meinpaket.de/de/rigol-ds1054z--digital-speicheroszilloskop-50-mhz-4-kanaele-1-gs-s-abtastrate-30-000-wfms-s/p682293255/?traffic_source=5SPAREN&showTellaFriend=false

A strange thing I noticed is the frequency counter that was oscillating around 500 - 700Hz on the probe adjustment signal ...
I updated the firmware from SP3 to SP4 and don't see the problem anymore. It is now locked to 1.00001 kHz ... Did someone else see this?

Edit: my first impressions:
- the screen does not look as clear as my Hnntek MSO (kind of blury) but still OK
- the fan definitely needs a replacement
- I find the auto adjustement quite slow
- New fonts in SP4 are perfects!
- A lot of options and functionnalities.. but that was not a surprise

>Was Dave just having a bad PC day with the software or is this nightmare for real ?

The software works fine for me.  And fellow eevblog forum member Alessandro's software he is writing for the Rigol is just fantastic.

I think the problem is Dave already had a conflicting set of drivers etc.. from the Agilent scope.  Probably needed to do a total uninstall of the other scopes software/drivers/etc before starting.

Anyone know if the 100 MHz hack is reversible? From what I recall, it changes the model type and doesn't uninstall using the uninstall all command.

Yes there are some commands you can execute from the ultravision software command interface that will delete the key.

Any clue as to which command will remove it? There had been earlier comments that "uninstall all" didn't remove it, as it changed the model to 1104.

I am reluctant to try it without a way back -in case it needs returning under warranty...

Thanks

For God's sake 

Search -> scpi command uninstall

Or download the pdf manual and use the search funktion there, please.

Except it has been previously reported that the 100 MHz mod changed the model number and wasn't reversible by "uninstall". Do you know if that is the case, or not?

Argh- Tequipment just re-updated the ship date on my 1054Z from the 20th to the 26th.

I wish there was a 4 channel scope in the DS2XXX series for < $1k. The low price on the 1054Z is making it hard for Rigol to keep up with demand.

Yeah I got the same email today, sucks.  I actually got excited at first, thought they might have shipped it out today.

Its probably only a slight delay as I am sure the scopes have been in transit now for some time.

Hello, I am wondering if anyone tested 500uV after SP4.
Maybe Rigol fixed this problem.

Could anyone test it if it is possible?

I'm getting a DS1054z at the end of the month, what Windows tool are you referring to? Ultra Sigma?

I am on that list too, delayed till 26th.  Are the Rigols purchased from TEquipment  shipped from Rigol in Beaverton, OR or NJ?

My DS2072 was shipped from NJ.

My DS2072 was shipped from NJ.

But you may have to request tracking # once you see complete order status at TE, 7 days NJ to WA

 500uV is for another Rigol scope, the 1054z does not have that capability.

Well it looks like I was very lucky to get the last one from Batronix, their website is now showing "end of March / beginning of April".  Ordered  on Sunday and received on Thursday, excellent service!  So far I'm blown away with the whole feel of the scope, for the price it is unbeatable.    The unlock code worked a like a charm first time, so I'm even happier. 
eevblog has cost me a small fortune!

Same here. Ordered Sunday (22:53) and received it on Thursday in The Netherlands

They finalized the pre-auth on my credit card yesterday, so I have been fully charged now. I hope this means that the date will not get pushed out again.

We got 383 units in yesterday.  They started shipping today but most will ship monday.  We will have 110 left for stock after everything ships!  This is the 1st time we have had stock since it was launched.

Amazing numbers for an oscilloscope!  Plus, I ordered one today (before reading this) so that I could get in the queue.  Sounds like I may not have to wait too long ...

[Spyke]

Mine shipped today too, my first ever scope (unless a crappy dso-quad counts ).
Can anyone that gets theirs post the firmware ver/board rev of these freshly made scopes? Wonder if the code generators to unlock all features still work...

[BlackLabelSix]

Ordered one last night, hopefully I can get in on this batch, but if not from what I am reading it will be worth the wait
