My new toy :) Agilent DSOX2002A - Sex on a stick!

Well, the "*" probably means a demo mode... But I wonder why there is no expire date shown.

Thanks!

Did you have to reinstall your licenses after you updated the firmware?

[Hydrawerk]

Probably not.

Many thanks to KBElek for his discovery of another Agilent easter egg called TREK.

I had to try it on my DSOX2002A scope. It works.

So cool!

I found a cool PC software that allows you to convert a SVG picture to WAV file. Then you can set your scope to XY mode, connect it to your PC audio output and you should see a picture on your scope. http://dalpix.com/rabiscoscopio/

Some hints for your drawings:

    Make a single line. The oscilloscope needs a continuos signal wave, so you need to make sure your drawing contains only one line
    Use only straigth lines in SVG files. At this time, Rabiscoscopio cannot read SVG with splines, circles or Bezier curves
    If the oscilloscope starts showing a diagonal line, try hitting the XY button a few times until it syncs with the audio signal.
    It just supports straight lines. That means that you can't use curves/circles/splines/bezzier on the final drawing, yet. But you can use them on Inkscape and convert them to straight lines when you've finished your drawing. Just hit the button and then select the curve. Then you hit the 11th button on your toolbar, called "Make selected segment lines", and your curve will be converted into a series of connected lines.

This game is wonderful, too. Video was not made by me!!

Yes, I had to try it, of course.

[Hydrawerk]

Yes, it is similar to this built-in game.

So I tried the game and the Star Trek screensaver.

Look what I have found. http://servicenotes.literature.keysight.com/litapp/SearchSN.do?method=openExternalSNSearch&prodNum=dsox2002A

I think that I can hear a subtle hiss noise in my scope. Agilent recommends to replace two inductors and to remove three resistors.
But is this crucial? I think that I am not going to send my scope to a warranty repair. I hope this little fault cannot kill my scope.
