Title: Isotech IDS-1102b firmware info
Post by: Gazmon on March 07, 2019, 07:19:29 pm

hi all,

is there a firmware upgrade for this scope currently thats worth doing , mine has version  1.22 , will the GW instek firmware work from there website with an Isotech branded scope? (there the same product ive read)


Would there be any serial decoding etc available with any potential hack for this scope?

just seeking clarification, apologies for repeat questions? and thanks

Gazmon

Supposedly it's the same scope: ISO-TECH IDS-1102B <=> INSTEK GDS-1102B

thanks for you reply

Seems like thats a lot of coding chat there , can i just flash the firmware from GW?

Seems to refer to the 2000E model firmware being suitable for the 1000B is this correct in what i say

Is this a USB Flash? , thanks again

No!  No mixing with the 2000E!

The firmware should be the one from 1000B. But I can't guarantee because I've never seen those scopes.

ISO-TECH is just a rebrand of GW-Instek from RS

So, you can find what you need for your IDS-1000B at GW-Instek website, in the download area (hacks apart  ::))

I just noticed there is a Function module` app on there website for the 1000b

Anyone knows what this does as there is no information anywhere about its use??
