--- Quote from: marmad on June 25, 2014, 01:47:29 am ---I've been using my DS2000 heavily the last few weeks, and about a week and a half ago it just started to hang constantly - requiring reboot after reboot (some combination of settings - I think I was using Roll mode). It got so bad, I was starting to think that I'd had some kind of failure - but first I downgraded to FW v.2 and uninstalled 300MHz, and since then, it's been absolutely fine - not a single crash. I still haven't re-installed v.3 again to check if it was specifically that or the 300MHz option causing the problem, but I can certainly report that FW v.3 with the 300MHz option installed is definitely NOT stable.

That may very well be the case, but I just finished playing around with the scope and I found two interesting codes: NS89 does all options +100 +200 +300 MHz, and NS8N does all options - 56M + 300MHz.  Is there some kind of rhyme or reason to the codes?  Maybe there is another code for all options +300MHz.  The other question is, would the NS89 code work just as well?

Where can I get a copy of the updated manual?

Thanks,

wow, so much to read since last time ^^

thanks guys, that helped me a lot!
I have some noise, yes, unplugging the probe shows a clean line on screen
(oh and I also use the bw/ limit, too)

I didn't try the new fw yet, but I'll look for "what's new" postings 1st :)

Pinkus:
Somewhere hidden in this large thread there was the information that the DS2000 should better not be pimped to more than 200 Mhz; thus 300 Mhz should be avoided.

Maybe that has changed in the meantime.
Is this still true with the DS2000A? Should 200Mhz be maximum or is 300Mhz now save (newer hardware, newer firmware)?

Thanks
