For deeper questions like:
- does the bandwidth hack actually do anything other than show a placebo number on the display? or
- what is the meaning to life, the universe, and everything

the answer is 42.

actually 42 is the Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything. no one knows what was the question, just the answer.

and for the 100MHz hack wouldn't calibrating the scope solve it?

I measure the bandwidth using this example
TheNewLab:
Just to put it out there. I have just bought a Rigol 1054 because of the posts on this site to hack.
Mine arrived with everything activated EXCEPT the 100MHz feature.

I was really hesitant to go ahead and do the hack because of the pre-activation and upon careful inspection the firmware version was more recent than anything i could find.
After a time I just said WTF, let's see. I used the links on this forum.  entered the the code and it worked fine. Did not lose the other pre-activated features and it did add the 100MHz feature.
By-the-by, I actually used an iPhone 4s to get to this forum, followed the link to the Keygen site. carefully read the activation code generated. (made some screenshots) and then did the hack...

There has been discussion that Rigol has intentionally allowed people to hack this model..I think I have also mentioned it. It seems that Rigol is now selling them all pre-activated for all except the 100MHz because I carefully inspected the packaging. it was clear, that the it was still originally shipped from Rigol.

However don't blame me if your effort gets screwed up...it is always at your own risk,

Cheers!!

alsetalokin4017:
It has been confirmed that the 100MHz unlocking does increase the bandwidth of the scopes sold since the beginning, that only included the other options for the trial period.

I'm wondering if that still holds true for the current releases that come with all the options unlocked except for the 100MHz hack. Does the bandwidth hack still have the same effect on the new scopes as it did on the older ones?
