On 1000Z, they could add option to save a screen capture on fail, like Keysight and MSO5000/7000 do.
You could do this with SCPI commands from a PC connected to the DS1054Z.
Of course you can save screen shot from PC. I was talking about that when you are in mask testing, when mask test fails, scope automatically saves screenshot of failed capture to USAD disk and than proceeds with testing.
Keysight 3000 (and 4000) has that, and MSO5000/7000 have it too..
R&S 2000/3000/4000 have an option to save mask failed acquisitions into segmented memory, like OP asked.
Later you can process it, search measure it..Very nice.
They are the only ones that do it that way ATM AFAIK.
I am trying to telnet to my 1054.
I have telnet enabled on Windows 10.
I am connected to the scope via ethernet with verified IP.
I can open the IP and see the scope welcome screen.
I open PowerShell enter "telnet" and telnet opens
I enter "o 192.168.1.60 5555" and I get "Connecting To 192.168.1.60..."
and there it sits forever. I cannot enter anything more on the screen and must close the powershell.
It does the same thing with CMD.
what am I missing?
If I enter the wrong port number i get an error message that it can't open that port, so it must be opening the 5555 port.
Why can't I enter any commands?
If I start in powershell by entering "telnet 192.168.1.60 5555" it opens a window with a telnet banner and sits there as before. I can't enter any commands.
I just tried it with putty, on port 5555, and it works for me:
SCPI is a non-echoing protocol, so you don't see what you type unless you turn on local echo in your terminal software.
Ok newbie at DSOs using DS1054Z connected using UltraSigma and UltraScope over LAN ok.....its clunky but crappy.
I know its been discussed but wanted to ask...what other software to does it better? Things like I can screen capture but images are crappy and are trace colours and background. So asking before I tear my hair out.....thanks

My favorite for screen captures is Peter Dreisiebner's "Bildschirmkopie". Lightweight, convenient and quick; available for Windows, Mac OS and Linux. The web page is in German only, but the software GUI can be switched to English:

Thanks downloading now.....I'm so frustrated with Ultrascope...only took a day! Hahaha
edit:
Ahhhh much easier.....many thanks
....already connected running....whooooSimple does what I want .
Are then any others like Sigrok? Also looking for more advanced. Bildschirmkopie looks great for simple screen grabs but also need ....more options.

Ew! Delete it, now!
I think Sigrok works with DS1054Z.

There is also DSRemote, which allows you to control the scope and get a real-time display. Linux only, I believe, and you have to compile it yourself. I do not have personal experience with it.

Like what? I can't read minds at this distance.

Ahhh just to control basic functions over lan. For screen grabs. I need to write a report include screen grabs pulses widths freq’s amplitude and some SPI decode. But basic things.
Most grabs I can get away with basic screen grabs but as said many others will need measurements.
It’s just ultrascope is so clunky ......and crashes a lot already. 500mb of badness....sigh.
I’ll try sigrok
Many thanks gents

For screen grabs you can also put in a USB stick and press the "Print" button.

What.....I was using the storage button then selecting the USB then naming it....which is a real pain using the multi mode rotary knob .....I’m doing it wrong!
Grrrrr maybe I need to watch some videos or find a cheat sheet. I’ve figured it out mostly myself....press enough buttons you’ll get it working
Also moving the USB stick across is a real pain.....

Thanks RoGeorge...downloading now
edit:
yep up an running EEZ studio...appears easier to use than sigrok.....funny I got the "grok" bit straight away..."Robert Heinlein".....his works were sometimes...odd.
Anywayz thanks gents I have much to play with now...many thanks
Manual is last resort.
DS1054Z is intuitive enough not to need it really though.
New user of this scope (and electronics noob) and wanted to ask a simple question...
I have a 100Mhz signal connected (from an Si5351 clock generator). It reads the signal fine, and identifies it as 100Mhz. Should this be possible without having installed the hack that enables the 100Mhz bandwidth option? Screen grabs are attached of this 100Mhz signal, and a 50Mhz signal from the same test board.
EDIT: Sorry - edited pics to mask the serial number.
EDIT: One more comment: The signal on the screen looks like a double image - 2 sine waves overlaid with slight differences. My screen grabs don't replicate this detail, but the peaks are at slightly different levels. My assumption is that this is a side effect of the fact that the bandwidth is just 50Mhz?
I am not an EE - actually an ME who is dabbling in electronics!
That is correct. You will notice that the amplitude is lower however for the 100MHz signal.
On the second one it may be because your measurement set up isn’t terminated properly.
Welcome to the forum, spiff! ME's can have fun with electronics, too.
The maximum analog bandwidth of a scope just means that the amplitude will be a certain amount (usually 3 dB) lower than actual for a signal whose frequency is at the limit. It won't suddenly stop working. Beyond that point, the amplitude measured by the scope will continue to appear lower until it's lost in the noise.
So, you can definitely see signals faster than the bandwidth limit. Just keep in mind that the amplitude will be lower than actual.
The sampling rate limit will also affect the maximum frequency that a digital scope can measure and display correctly. If the signal's frequency becomes too high for the sampling rate, then the waveform reproduction will no longer be correct due to
aliasing. Without enough samples per period, more than one possible waveform could fit the samples and the scope may show you the wrong thing. See also:
Nyquist frequency.

Yes. Signals don't vanish in a puff of smoke if they're too high, they gradually fade away. What you'll see if you look closely is that the voltage is lower than it should be.
There's a menu option for each channel (press the channel button) to set a 20Mhz bandwidth limit. Try turning that on/off and watch what happens on screen.
new (last month) 1054Z with all upgrades and SP4 firmware.
When viewing the cal signal - as I change the time base, the displayed rise time changes.
The signal does not change so why does the displayed rise time change?
single channel, AC coupled, triggered @ ~ 50%, Vert = 100mv/, waveform centered, full rise of waveform on screen, using cursors.
Time Base (µs/) Rise Time µs
1........................3.00
2........................3.10
5........................3.15
10.......................3.50
20.......................3.40
50...................... 3.50
100......................5.00
200......................8.00
500.....................10.00
If this is a function of the sampling, what settings will show the correct rise time? I understand that there will be (and is) a variation at any setting because of the sampling and a longer time base will eliminate that. But going from 3µs to 10µs for different time base settings doesn't seems good.
