REVIEW - Rigol DS2072 - First Impressions of the DS2000 series from Rigol
flash2b:
Does anybody know if Rigol will built in the nice 16K based FFT option that was introduced in the DS1000Z series to offer better resolution than the current screen based version ?
CustomEngineerer:
Doesn't seem like it. They released a new firmware for the DS2000 series a month ago with no changes to the FFT. The enhancement on the DS1000Z was sometime end of last year or beginning of this year so Rigol would have had plenty of time to try and get it in the DS2000 firmware they released last month if they were going to.

guys, I'm having an issue here. I bought a ds2072, a long time ago, and I remember doing the "change the trial timeout dates to never expire" for the features hack in the early days. I since almost forgot I even had this scope because of other options available to me, but just recently found it and pulled it out and blew the dust off and checked the latest states of hacks and saw there was a super keygen out. I just used the keygen tool and entered the key and got the "option installed!" just fine. Went to reboot and it is stuck on the Rigol boot splash with the squares with the blue "working" square that shows progress and the blue dot stops at some point and it just sits....
Did I do something bad here? Was there conflict with these methods that casued me a problem? Below is the a screenshot I took back when I did the trial date hack, I never updated the firmware or anything since then. so it should have all been the same.
broke out into a cold sweat when this happened, but thought I'd jump on here and ask the experts, since I have a big gap of time missing on all the steps that happened from the trial hack to now the keygen....
any tips on next steps to take? :-\ :'(

I'll carefully read over your great info. thanks for all your hard work, tried out your software really quick and it looks awesome so far.

You definitely should upgrade the FW to v3 or later - there are many new features and fixed bugs, and it's even possible the keys were changed since the first version of the FW (which is what your DSO is running in the image). I'd upgrade the FW and clear the FRAM on the first boot-up (instructions on page 1 of this thread), and then reuse the keygen, if needed.
But don't worry - the DSO has a boot-loader and it's virtually impossible to brick it. :)
bonanz:
ok, so I did the factory reset grey button during boot up and it booted back up. the version info is all the same except now it's showing model 2202 and my serial num is showing DS2A0000000001. When I go to look at installed options its greyed out.
so the best course of action would be to just upgrade to v3 firmware and then if needed reapply the keygen? Does the serial being 0'd out matter?
edit: uh hate to ask tihs noob question, but is the 2000a fimrware compatible with the 2000 (non-a)? also, I just went to rigol's site to look for the firmware options, am I taking crazy pills, it keeps pushing me to a form to enter all my contact info to request firmware...?
edit 2: found this one off page searching google, http://beyondmeasure.rigoltech.com/acton/fs/blocks/showLandingPage/a/1579/p/p-001a/t/page/fm/0 has ver 00.03.03.01, I assume this is legit?
edit 3: okay, i guess I learned digging around there's no difference between the ds2000/ds2000a in terms of firmware, updated with the firmware at that link and it is actually showing 3.05. Re-did the keygen with my now defaulted serial number, and I'm right as rain.
Thanks
