Title: Keysight DSO9000A - anyone hacked it with the new 6.10 software?
Post by: rhythmp on February 27, 2018, 03:48:49 pm

My DSO9254A is on the way. Wanna see if it is hackable with the new 6.10 software ;)
The license patch for 4.20 was applied to agScope.exe, which is no longer there in the new 6.10 software.
Anyone can help?

BTW, it seems that the MSO probe for 9000A is different from the old models. How can I get a cheap eBay/DIY one?

Many thanks

These seem like kind of silly questions for a $30,000 scope, but I suppose some of the fun is in the hunt.

You probably won’t want to go through the trouble of DIY the cable and its Samtec connector.
eBay sometimes has the cable for around $250

Or just buy a Saleae :)

$250 is not bad. Could you let me know the model of the cable (or even the link)?
I may need to do some analog+digital timing measurement, thus MSO is still preferred.
Thanks a lot!

I think this has the item numbers, some older infiniium use the same cable.
