DSOX2000 and 3000 series - licence , have anyone tried to hack that scope ?

[Alanme]

That is the original patch, look by yourself

[analogRF]

That is the good filename, i have not make mistake

NO it is not. Look, they are telling you change the filename to INFINIIVISION.LNK (with lower case letters)
Your file is not named correctly

[Alanme]

Sorry, perhaps i have not understand.
Do you wan't to say that the original name of the patch is wrong

[analogRF]

Sorry, perhaps i have not understand.
Do you wan't to say that the original name of the patch is wrong

as far as I know it has always been infiniivision.LNK.

Just search this thread/topic for this filename and you will see

[Mr. Scram]

Sorry

You wrote "infiniivision.ink". This is wrong. It should be "infiniivision.lnk" It's different. I don't know where you got "ink" from but I just downloaded the original file and it has the correct extension. See the screenshot attached to this post. The procedure isn't going to work if you don't follow the instructions precisely and are using the wrong file names.

• infiniivision.ink > WRONG
• infiniivision.lnk > correct

[Alanme]

Thank you a lot, i will try and i'll say if thats' work

[Alanme]

Glad to hear it worked out. I'm not sure what causes that message. Maybe reapplying the procedure after your job is done would improve the situation, but maybe others here have an idea why the issue arises.

If keysight released the FRA option for the DSOX3000A series that would be an instant-buy for me. As keysight is active on this forum, maybe they can clarify if they will roll out this option in the future?

I'm thinking of selling my scope and switch to R&S as they provide a really nice FRA option.

The 3000T seems to have the option.

Keysight ebay store promo on now, MSOX3104T fully loaded as far as I can see, US $6,848.28. Four now available (It was five, I just bought one!).

Keysight Used MSOX3104T Oscilloscope, mixed signal, 4+16 channel, 1GHz - e-Promo Incl. Probes, Application Bundle and 1 year warranty

I had to purchase it from my local ebay.co.uk site as from ebay.com it wouldn't let me pay or request invoice. Note that Keysight use DDP Incoterms so you pay taxes to them through an ebay invoice, so it arrives customs cleared.

That is a good deal.
And you don't need to hack it! 
I bought the MSOX3104A a few years the same way for a similar discount and I am still happy with that scope.

Absolutely the best deal they have ever had on the scope. It has been that price in the past but did not have the app bundle or probes/MSO cable.

Yeah, that is incredible deal!  I have MSOX3054A (only MSO and BW options I applied from here; others I got in app bundle) and I love it.  The -T series definitely has more (& better?) software/apps but not something I could justify upgrading to at the moment.

There's also this MSOX4154A on eBay (no probes; limited apps) for $9,116.40 .  I don't have money to buy it but (for future reference) is it an exceptional deal?  Or there's better to be had?

[Sparky]

This might be a little old but looks like Keysight have new app bundles. Here is links related to 3000 A/T X-Series:

OLD: DSOXT3APPBNDL $3600

NEW: D3000BDLA $2530

I compared the app/software packages contained in each (listed in the brochure on each page) and didn't notice any difference.  Are they the same and this is just a revised SKU?  The new one is significantly cheaper -- is it missing something?

Or have the apps been revamped with new capability and you can only get it with purchasing the NEW app bundle?  I hope not!!

Anyone know details of this?

Similar situation for the 4000A series.

The 4000 series is more or less the same as the 3000A series with a larger screen.
If you are looking for an upgrade, look at the 6000 X series, that is a real upgrade from the 3000 series.

The sample rate and bandwidth of the 6000 X series is impressive, but max memory depth is 4Mpts (same as 3000/4000 X series), and the waveform update rate is 450k/sec (< half of 3000/4000 X series), which seem a bit limiting.  I'm isolating those things...maybe unfairly...

The apps/software for 4000A are just a bit more extensive than 3000T.  I'm not sure if there's any difference in probe support between 3000T and 4000A series...

It is actually the other way around. All the options for the 3000T and 4000A are identical. On the other hand, 4000A has full Autoprobe interface, while 3000T has limited current, so you cannot use all the probes and cannot use some combinations because you run out of current budget. It is explained in  detail in interface and accessories datasheet.

Also 3000A and 2000 series are based on same software base. That is why 3000A doesn't have same options as 3000T.
3000T and 4000A are based on same software base, hence all the same software options..

There is still not much details about new software bundle policy, but it seems that Keysight will , in addition to current options, offer an subscription based, and floating licenses for Infiniivision series.
Hence the new option codes. I have yet to see Keysight new official explanation how it will work.

Maybe Daniel will come up with a little explanation/presentation.....

[Mr. Scram]

Subscription based oscilloscope software? 

[2N3055]

Subscription based oscilloscope software? 

Not basic scope. Options and decodes. It might make sense for large companies.
Imagine you have 10 3000T scopes. You get them with some basic functions and protocols, and get few floating licenses for stuff you don't use every day, and shuffle them around as needed.
It is same as renting scopes for a project.

I don't have use for it, but I can see it being useful to some.
Keysight did this great: you can still buy perpetual license, or a temporary one that will expire. Your choice.

It seems that we will be able to get an maintenance license too for bundle. That would take care of upgrading bundle when they add new features that didn't exist when you bought bundle. If the price is right, I'll get that one for sure..

[BillB]

Subscription based oscilloscope software? 

It's the way of things these days.  Manufacturers have realized that they can make things only so cheap, with only so much planned obsolescence.  They'd love for people to throw away their perfectly good hardware and buy this year's model (not every company can be Apple). 

So, the next best thing is a continuous revenue stream through software subscription licensing.

I envision a world where you'll be effectively renting everything.  Your TV, refrigerator, car, and pacemaker will all require annual software licensing to continue to work.

It could make sense but as BillB points out correctly it tends to end up as some kind of horror show where you end up leasing the equipment you pay for. I was hoping the embedded world would escape this madness but it seems I may have been too optimistic.

Is this for real that we will have to update our software bundle license to upgrade the 'scopes internal apps to get new features?  Like the scope is going to have the old serial decode options as part of DSOXT3APPBNDL , and if you buy the new bundle D3000BDLA , then you get some new features?  It's like the scope could potentially have two versions of each software app...  it sounds kinda nuts...
