DS2000A Upgrade Utility
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.

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.
