MSO1000Z series software licensing

[DMKitsch]

Hi,

I've been debating whether to buy a MSO1000Z series scope which seems to be the same as the DS1000 Plus series with a common firmware? I was wondering if I can enable a higher bandwidth on these scopes, like you can on the non plus models from 50MHz up to 100MHz.

From what I understand I can enable all software options once I have dumped the internal keys, but it seems like it may not be a software option to increase the bandwidth available? I've been looking at link 1 as a basis for doing this hack. I guess the main question is whether it does exist as a key that may not be showing in the GUI or whether anyone has released a custom firmware that can enable the higher bandwidth options on the scope? I guess it's not really a deal breaker either way, just looking into my options available

I appreciate all the help that's given,
Dave

I bought a MSO1074Z when Arrow had a ridiculous sale (I bought it about $350, with logic probes).  I was able to enable all options. It is reporting that it is an MSO1104Z.  So, I assume that it is a 100Mhz model now.

Beauty, thanks so much for the info. I must say I'm a little envious of your deal, I've just paid double that in the UK

Was your change to 100MHz official, JTAG memory dump, or were you able to load the firmware which allows the memory dump over LAN? I am stuck not being able to load a down-level firmware, and none of the SCPI interface programs yield any joy on that front either (bildschirmkopie, UltraSigma, etc).
