DS1054Z X-Y mode slow - SOLVED

[idecable]

On latest firmware 00.04.04.SP3 the X-Y mode at scale of 1ms makes the screen refresh about twice per second.

Older firmware worked better in that mode, after seeing youtube videos of others using DS1054Z with X-Y mode with scale at 1ms at descend speed. I think latest update added the fullscreen mode..

The device is not allowing downgrade.

I am fully aware that I can take a previous firmware release, open a hex editor and carefully increment the end of the version by a single digit at the top header, making the scope believe it is truly getting an upgrade.. But I feel like that's playing with fire (even with doing factory reset beforehand), and would break warranty.

I'd like to hear what you guys think! Should I refund and find another scope? Or should I really attempt force downgrade with higher firmware version at the header?

I don't think there's a unbrick tutorial for this scope

I never heard that trick before.

But there doesn't seem to be any danger, all the code and data will be the same.

and would break warranty.

I doubt anybody would even bother to check the firmware version if there's an obvious, visible hardware fault.

It is brand new.

Is there another 4 channel at 100mhz that would be a step up from this one. I don't mind putting an extra $100 or $200 on something that works.

I just checked on mine and the refresh speed in XY mode depends directly on memory depth.

Go to the "Acquire" menu and set memory depth to something faster. 

nb. This happens in other modes as well, whenever you see very slow screen refresh you probably need to look at the memory depth.

SOLVED    thank you!! Yes 100% working now! Awesome!
