Was anyone successful in down grading from 03.03.02.06 to 03.03.01.00 firmware on a DS2000A? |
| Godzil:
I have one question about the DS2000 series, I've bought mine 2 month ago, and I thinking about getting something to travel with my DSO, but of course the original box is not something really interesting for that and Batronix (its where I bought it) have an official bag from Rigol for that, but I've found nearly no information about it. Does any of you own this bag, and what is your though about it? And does anyone have another reference that would work for the DS2000? Thanks :) |

On a DS2000 (non a) it is possible to down grade, I did this and works OK. Presumably the A models have a new boot loader installed. |

Now they're giving away all the advanced options (except bandwidth) on newly purchased scopes. To me, this removes all moral qualms about unlocking the bandwidth. Since memory and bandwidth are physically in the scope already it's not stealing to unlock them (few would think tearing the governor off of your car is stealing).. But getting the advanced decoding and triggers did seem like stealing, but now they're free! Which leaves the question: are they doing this to get rid of stock so they can come out with a new model? If so, will they start dropping the upfront price too? Anyone heard any whispers? |

Companies don't have a moral, so why should I have this towards a company. To me its all in the game, RIGOL could have easily closed the loop hole, but they did not. In fact I suspect that RIGOL helped the guys that needed to unlock the scopes with hints and private keys, all too boost the sales. For example the DS1000Z license system was also suddenly unleashed with the help of an anonymous source. That's now almost 2 years ago. You might be right that RIGOL is soon coming with a new series, perhaps a 3000, with 4ch, 500MHz, 4Gsa/s for the same price as an 70MHz DS2000 (Wishful thinking) It could also be that they want to make live touch for Siglent, and make this DS2000 as attractive as possible. |
