Funfact: ENET kinda is a valid option but not really at the same time.
The code for Ethernet analysis and triggering is in the firmware. I still need to figure out how to actually enable it, because the license key alone is not sufficient.
Didn't have the time to look closer at this yet.

I've noticed that a new firmware was released a couple of months ago.
http://www.tek.com/oscilloscope/mdo3012-software-4
I've installed it and all works as always...
v1.24 10/19/2016
New Features:
- CAN FD support added to MDO3AUTO
Enhancements:
- Expanded decode event table from 800 to 4000 maximum entries
Defects Fixed:
- Fix issue with file download in e*Scope
- Fix issue with CAN number of data bytes not being limited to actual
number of supported bytes based on selected Trigger When condition
- Fixed an issue where old waveform data is not cleared after
a Default Setup
- Fixed an issue where histogram on math is reset when stopped
- Fix a case where CAN Missing Ack at end of frame with an end of frame
error will trigger but does not decode or search
- Fix .CSV timestamp resolution for large records
- Fix case where changes to horizontal scale when stopped and using
large records would result in the waveform being cleared on screen
- Fix a case where scope would transition to PreVu when entering zoom
mode after running for a long period of time
- Fix a case where loading setups with screen cursors on may result
in an error reported from processing the setup file
- Fix a case where, in some settings, waveforms would appear in dots only
- Fix an issue with USB bus CRC calculation for a zero length data packet

Is it possible to upgrade a 100MHz MDO3014 to 1GHz with software upgrade or do you need to send it back to Tektronix for a hardware mod ?

You can goto 500 Mhz via software, for the last step it needs to be send back (replacing some h/w). -
Hi
for 500 to 1GHz Tek remplace the ATTENUATOR Board and re-calibrate the whole thing , since ADC was on main board
whit luck if you enable the 1Ghz it work but out of calibration for all over 500mhz
what make me very curious is that if you look the late model of MDO4000 the RF section of attenuator board now look very similar to one in MDO3000
and if you peek a view into v1.24 firmware it have nice find
aSpectrumAnal_2 DCB "Spectrum analyzer 3GHz maximum input frequency",0
aSpectrumAnal_3 DCB "Spectrum analyzer 6GHz maximum input frequency",0definitively something to trysame for a2ghzBandwidth DCB "2GHz bandwidth",0
ok seem that scope read attenuator PN and not let you put 1GHZ on a 500MHz unit
start to look how software read board ID ?
also the new DPO like "FastAcq" was bit a joke
,in that mode all signal > 100mhz start to look like a collection of Dot
even on 20 year OLD TDS754D was able to see a perfect clean signal in DPO mode whit 1GHZ sinus on it input

What does it look like on the TDS754D in DPO mode ?

The scope is sampling at 2.5Gsps giving one sample each 0.4 ns, as seen in the screenshot. Turning on FastAcq/Persistence disable the Sinc interpolation, that's why the dots are disconnected horizontally. -

Hi,
Is this hack still relevant. I want to buy MDO3014 and enable 500mhz bandwith spectrum analyzer and mso options if possible (too much to ask ?)
Yes it still works. On my desk I have a new MDO3024 that has all options plus 500MHz enabled and includes a digital pod and 4 x Tek 500MHz probes. -

Bro you made my day. I downloaded the src file in the first page of this post and attached to this reply(is this enough or need another version). I have python 2.7 intalled and added to path. I cannot download PyCrypto.
Could you help me please with the steps. I really need it
Can’t remember what I downloaded and installed, I first did this maybe 2 years ago, don’t remember any problems downloading or installing anything and I had never used Python before.
PM me with your scope serial and model number and I’ll give you the licence code for all options enabled -
to install pycrypto you have only to digit (once) the following command*:Code: [Select]
pip install pycrypto
and the library module will be installed.
And PLEASE do not call me 'Bro/mate/...' or whatever else!!!

a while ago, there was a helpdesk joke going around...
A guy who just bought a PC called the helpdesk because he couldn't get it to work, and after an hour or so doing his best, the helpdesk employee told the guy: "you're totally right, there's definitely something wrong here..., put it back in its packaging and bring it back to the shop"...
And the guy asked: "OK, but what should I tell them ??"...
... you guessed it... the guy from the helpdesk said "tell them you're just too stupid to use it..."
No... jokes aside, developers love to say "it was hard to write, it should be hard to read/use !"... -

Gives code. Do not know if works since i do not buy the scope yet. Hope it does
It works.... very well -
Worked with latest firmware 2 months ago

I have done lots of c, java coding 2d game development with swift and plus python coding in embedded linux designs which i developed my self with uboot buildroot bootstrap plus linux kernels plus hardware and pcb design but have never used python shell with external library that was seeing another version in my library as its source and i sorted it out anyway. You learn new things everyday. I do not see how this is not knowing the pc usage. I might not described it well but sorry kid i am not the guy go put jokes on idiots like yourself.
You surely can be proud of all that, there's just one thing missing: some sense of humor...
And btw, I'm nor your kid, nor your brother...

I got one question left,
When i am first time activating mdo3014 from 100mhz to 500mhz with every possible options will i write 500MHz or BW1T5
python gen.py MDO3014 C123456 500MHz AERO AFG AUDIO AUTOMAX COMP DVM EMBD ENET FLEX LMT MSO PWR SA TRIG USB VID AUTO SEC
python gen.py MDO3014 C123456 BW1T5 AERO AFG AUDIO AUTOMAX COMP DVM EMBD ENET FLEX LMT MSO PWR SA TRIG USB VID AUTO SEC -
500MHz

Do NOT include TRIG!
This causes your scope to crash on trigger selection.
Only really enable the options for which a real one is available. -

Is it still causing that problem. Could you list the ones i should enable if not problem for you like in below
python gen.py MDO3014 C123456 500MHz AERO AFG AUDIO AUTOMAX COMP DVM EMBD ENET FLEX LMT MSO PWR SA TRIG USB VID AUTO SEC -
Remove TRIG and ENET.
TRIG causes crashes
ENET doesn't do anything
Unsure about AUTOMAX. Seems to exist only for the 4000 series
Just check Tek's docs about the buyable options and try it by yourself. -

Thank you. I want to ask one last thing.
I do not have experience with oscilloscope base logic analysis. Without trigger, how does it work. Do i have to capture with single capture or is it capturing for some amount of time so i will zoom and pan to those captured let say 20 separate transmissions. If so, then i can easily debug without triggering function right since as far as i know trigger is capturing for specific events' occurrence.
-
You can trigger on digital channels.
The TRIG *option* doesn't exist. It has nothing to do with how you trigger. Maybe there was something planned by Tek and abandoned, maybe it's left over from the porting effort of the software. -
FWIW:
I did the FW-update from 1.10 to 1.26 some days ago, all options - enabled via script @ FW1.10 - are still enabled
