Siglent SDS2000X Plus Hack

[BillyO]

Hmm my probes are only rated for 100 and 200MHz, and I seem to remember 500MHz probes and actives probes costing a fortune. I forgot about that part.

This solution works really well and does not cost a fortune:

Same process, same script. 

Could SDS6204 uses the same script?

Hi,
No.

I'm running the latest software (5.0.1.5.2R3) and would like to get telnet access to try changing some of the logo files in the scope.

From what I have read I will need to access the hardware UART inside the scope to get terminal access, then enable telnetd. Is there any other way besides opening the scope? For those of you who have done it, do you just run an external cable to maintain access if needed?

Thanks for a great thread.

Please don't open the scope and please just continue reading.

I tried creating the siglent_device_startup.sh script on a FAT formatted USB drive with the following:

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/bash
/usr/sbin/telnetd -l /bin/sh -p 2323 &

Inserted drive, rebooted a few times but nothing happens, no telnet on port 2323.

Some other magic potion I should be looking for?

That feature has been disabled. There are no public ways of getting a shell with the newest firmware.

Thanks, I read a bit more and changed the little logo in the top right.

And what is that good for?

It makes him happy. 🤷

He wrote recessim.
Latin for "backward" with the meaning of reverse engineering.

Still better than logir ;-)

The new firmware has a new sw option (ARINC). Can someone tell me which keyword of this function is used in the script?

[maxspb69]

Add the 'A429' option name to the Python code and generate a key for the option. I just did this.
It works fine!

Hi all, just got a 2104 plus , I think the replit link that most people refer to for instructions to connect to scope, keygen, script, is down or expired. 

apologies in advance if i missed it, if someone can give me the word to search in this or any post to get the most valid and up to date information to hack the scope i'd appreciate it.

also, it seems to be in contention whether bandwidth upgrade should go in increments, or all in one go.  I'm going to err on the side of incrementing, also the explanation seemed the more plausible. has the question of one time bw vs increment upgrade bw settled?

Welcome to the forum.

FYI, a 500 MHz BW upgrade is only possible from a preexisting 350 MHz model/license.

thanks tautech, I should have joined a long time ago.

I'm going to have a go with the cheap active probe method in the youtube above, I'll share my findings.  Found the 1103 PSU on ebay from a liquidator not far from me.  Still waiting for a more complete probe (with tip and gnd clip) to show up.

Hi,

what about script compatibility with SDS2000X HD?
or maybe other solution for HD series?
