so that you just need to power up the pi as you power up the scope or before (and you don't need a screen or keyboard connected.)Attached is the python code for applying the code, using pyUSB.
Better not automatically i hope, like a button or something...
Because next FW release the code will not be available anymore, even worse Rigol
will brick your DSO on next FW release if you use the code, so you have to send it in for repair.
Then Rigol can still make some money out of it....
I was looking for visa drivers and found this, http://www.rigol.com/account/user.php?act=license
obviously not a key generator , but what , curious!

BTW, uninstalling DSA9 on a DS2202 leaves it as a DS2202 - meaning that future FW routines COULD differentiate between an "optioned" DS2202 - and an "official" DS2202.
Does this apply to the DS2072 as well? If you uninstall the DSA9 code will it then still show as a DS2202 model?
Thanks for replying so quick. is there any where to find documentation on using ultra sigma. I had a quick scan on google to no avail.
I tried this in the scpi box of ultra :SYSTem:SETup? and got a garbled response. scpi is all new to me.
although rigol obviously wont be happy about all this, but do you think if they would also consider the possible negative effects of delaying further support of there products like fw etc would put people off of buying there products.

Harvs - just wanted to say thanks for sharing this. I am a relatively new DS2102 user, and have a Raspberry Pi sitting in a drawer doing nothing, so this looks very interesting/useful to me!
Hope you enjoyed your beers, cheers.
Yesterday I was told by tequipment that they have an order coming in within 2-3 days and that 6 were still not sold from that older...
Again, I hope for your sake that's true, but just be aware: since this thread started (May 18th) there hasn't been a single new owner of a DS2072 posting from NA in the main Rigol thread. There have been many new owners posting from the EU (and elsewhere), but it appears even that stock has now dried up.
Edit: I'm very curious as to when this changes.
I was planning on ordering a DS later in the year, but with all the progress that's been made in this thread, I decided I should try to get one before any countermeasures are taken by Rigol. I placed an order with TEquipment on June 26th. I e-mailed them on the 27th regarding the status of a refund on shipping and when the scope would ship. According to their order status page, my scope shipped on June 21st - 5 days before I placed the order In the reply I received from Dawn she stated the scope was due to ship in 48 hours which should be this Monday. Time will tell but it appears that they have some stock in. Dawn has been on top of every issue I've had so far so I hoping she's accurate with this date. I'll follow up if/when I get the shipping notification.

IMO, no it won't put people off buying the DS2000/DS4000 because they can get stuff for free. Rigol already can't keep up with demand for the DSO as evidenced by the delays happening right now (which are from unanticipated over-demand). But I'm afraid, yes, it will delay FW updates, since Rigol will certainly try to counteract some of this. It's just history (DS1000E) repeating itself.
Early DS2000s came with FW#00.00.01.00.02 - although I've never seen anyone with a copy of that GEL.
FW#00.00.01.00.05 is here.
FW#00.01.00.00.03 is here.
The folks at Rigol have demonstrated that they aren't as daft as some. They will learn the error of their ways; they just need our help.
If you're buying or have bought their stuff because of the value added by hacked features, TELL THEM that's why they're getting your business. If we talk loud enough, the right person at Rigol will eventually cross reference and crunch some numbers, and they'll confirm what we're already suspecting - a small change in strategy could pay off big for them if they would only leave the hacks alone.
Rigol, you're making a lot of extra sales from these hacks. Stop fighting it and learn how to take better advantage of it.
