DS2000A Upgrade Utility

<< < (48/52) > >>

rodelco54:
I just wanted to thank everyone who participates in this forum, especially MadCrow for his DS2000 Upgrade Utility and the "Short Post" from BTO.  I just purchased a used DS2072A (had about 17 hours on it) for less than $400 locally.  After reading through all of the "hacking" information I could find, I followed the instructions for using the Upgrade Utility from "BTO". 

I had trouble the first time that I plugged the flash drive in to the scope for the DS2000Update.gel update in that the CH1 LED was flashing very slowly for a long time (I let it go for 25 minutes!), but all of the other lights never did come on.  I finally just pulled out the flash drive, and then all of the other lights came on.  I turned off the machine and then repeated the procedure, and this time all of the lights came on within about 5 minutes.  I completed the rest of the procedure and was successful in unlocking the 300MHz bandwidth and all of the other features. 

I am very happy!  Thank you all again.

Hi all !

My DS2202A made the small jump to the 2302A model.
Note the "Never Expires" statements in the installed option folder.
Pic 3 shows a 500 MHz -10 dBm signal on channel 1 50 ohm input
Pic 4 is a 800 MHz @-10 dBm try; this seems to be the limit with a
RG316 U 3' cable.

Thank you much.

Regards

It's two years since the introduction of this upgrade utility. Does it still work with the latest Rigol DS2000A hardware and firmware? Or Rigol have taken anti-tamper measures since then?

I upgraded mine 3 weeks ago.... utilizing memorydump (with RigolBildschirmkpopie) and keygen rigup 0.4 and then entering the key with Rigol Ultra Sigma utility. No problem. I have done a firmware upgrade since with no problem either..

I just did mine too, hardware 2.2, firmware 00.03.04.SP2.

I lost a lot of time trying the upgrade utility, replacing the firmware didn't work on my scope, I finally just dumped the memory over the network from a linux computer with:
echo :SYST:UTIL:READ? 1,33554432 | ncat -i 1 192.168.0.74 5555 > DS2072A_sdram.bin (adjust the ip address)
Then I used the rigup utility to generate the options keys and the 300MHz one worked.

Dumping all the memory is actually quite fast using the network, I read somewhere else it takes 5 minutes, but it was way faster for me, maybe it's slower if you dump over USB.
