Once again,
the  options code are stored in a 1-wire eeprom,  with the same code xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx give by well descripted above procedure...

now the question is:

if i store manually  the code into the 1-wire eeprom :-/O, the  software 8.x.x.x could accept the options?

Could be true for this reason, if i've an instrument with the 7.2.0.5 software version (for example...) i buy an option, that software store this option into the 1-wire eeprom and everythings run
Now i upgrade the software with a 8.x.x.x version, my option must work again maybe with the same code  :-+

which eeprom? on the pci card? or on the acquisition board below?

Fresh news about 8.x.x.x and options...
Online i've found an WS24MXs with 4 option keys , LBW (is WS24..) ATP,HDTV,MSURF and software version 8.1.2.0.

i run for each keys the command  "validate", it return the correct scope id and option name!! :scared:

for example the key "67f2-9132-b9fd-247g" is MSURF option and it works on 8.1.2.0  !! :-DD

now the question is: maybe, with 8.x.x.x they change how the options are accepted and stored but the options keys are the same. Is true?? :o

The point is that 'old' options are not 're-encoded' by default when upgrading (as far as I know)... it's not even known whether old options are affected at all by the new encoding scheme(s)...
It's not 100% clear neither from what exact version things changed... ever tried the latest one (8.6) ?

But it would be interesting to see if you could wipe one of these 'old' options, and re-install it with the same key ?
If you have 8.x, could you try installing some (recent) decoding option (like CAN-FD) generated with the pre-8.x keygen ?

And for sure all post-8.x options are unusable, as the options file (i.e. the database with all possible options) is encrypted with a new scheme.

Hey,
can anyone confirm that the DEV key can be deleted?
I have to delete an grayed out key!
What function does the DEV key/option provide furthermore?

Thanks in advance!

what is covered in this thread... some i think already mentioned, some tried by others are WavePro 7000 series, WaveMaster 8000 series... and i believe, anything that uses XStream SW. maybe people can share whats supported by what model? its being ask and i have no real answer for that, i only know what i tried and its been a while a go so i need to gather up unfortunately i'm in the middle of something that need me to be away frequently.

I used it this weekend for a Waverunner 64Xi with 8.1.2, I couldnt decode the options.cfg so I had to dig through online documentation to find out which ones I could install. Basic list for Xi series so far:

STAT
XMAP
XWAV
XVAP
XDEV
XWEB
JTA1
DFP2
DDM2
PMA2
SDM
AORM
EMC
I2C
SPI
UART
USART
SPECTRUM
CAN01
CAN02
QPHY-ENET*
USB2bus D
FlexRaybus TDP
FlexRaybus TD
PROTObus MAG
1553
Audiobus TDG
Audiobus TD
DPHYbus D
DigRF3Gbus D
DigRFv4bus D
ENETbus D
FCbus D
ProtoSync
HSICbus D
SASbus D
SATAbus D
10-100M-ENET-BUS
8B210B-BUS
ARINC429
CAN01i
CAN02i
CAN_FD_TDM
DDM2
DECODE_MEASURE
64B67B-BUS
CONFIG-BUS
DIGRF_V4_
EMMC-BUS
ET
FLX
FLX_PHY
HDTV
12S_TD
12S_TDG
IRTEST
LA
LIN
MANCHESTER-BUS
MPHY-DECODE
NRZ-BUS
PCIE_D
QPHY-MIPI-MPHY
QPHY-USB
SENT
SRIO-BUS
TDR
USB2
USB2_TD
VBA
VBAi
VRPOBE
VSA
WIMAX
WSCAN

Generally it seems that most of the options for Xi-A work with Xi.

It works with 8.1.2.0 on the Wavemaster 8000 non A series. The available options and cfg keys are:


Options Mapping for Wavemaster Series
XMAP -- 00000008
XWEB -- 08000000
DFP2 -- 00000040
PMA2 -- 00001000
JTA2 -- 00000010
ENET -- 00004000
USB2 -- 00002000
DDM2 -- 00000002
AORM -- 04000000



Not officially supported but seem at least not to cause problems:
02-10000000 SPECTRUM (seems fully working)
00000004 XWAV
00000400 SDM
00010000 TDR
80000000 USB3_TD
10000000 DMOD
00400000 CAN02 (seems fully working)
00008000 SPI (seems fully working)
00004000 I2C (seems fully working)



DO NOT INSTALL:
42-00000008 AFG (Will throw startup exception)

I get the Error:

"Cannot install possibly due to the lack of storage space"

... which I'm guessing concerns the EEPROM. Did they save a few pennys on the DDA variants perhaps since they have so few offical options? I mean I haven't yet installed twenty options yet :-DD
Could I ask where that memory chip is located?  :-/O

i experienced this. the trick is to combine 2 or more licenses (same mask) into one key using OR... study this post...
https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/lecroy-options-recovery/msg1515814/#msg1515814
and use verify tool to make sure you ORed/generate the correct key...
(remove the previous keys in service menu first to free up eeprom space for the new combined key)

PMA1

This option (Power Measurement Analysis 1) is not for XStream scopes like the WRXi, it's for older 9300/LC/WRLT/WR2LT/WP900 (and the DDA counterparts).

Quote
SPECTRUM

Was never offered for the WRXi, I think this was introduced with the WRXi-A. Still works on the WRXi and older XStream scopes.

Quote
FlexRaybus TDP
FlexRaybus TD
[...]
Audiobus TDG
Audiobus TD
[...]
12S_TD
12S_TDG

These are mostly redundant pairs. This is how it works:

<Serial Protocol>_TDGP

T = Trigger
D = Decode
G = Graphing
P = Physical

Which means audio-bus_tdg already contains audio-bus td. The different variants exist to segregate models, i.e. the WaveSurfer might only have "T" or "TD" while WaveRunner and higher also have "G".

Quote
JITKIT

This was never for the WRXi, it was introduced later with the HDO Series. And this isn't the only one in your list.

Quote
USB3_TD

This one only became available with the WR6zi, as the previous WRs lacked the BW.

Quote
EFABUS

Not an official option sold to the open market. EFAbus is the bus used in the Eurofighter Typhoon combat aircraft. Unless you work with Typhoon avionics it's no use as the bus isn't used anywhere else. This option was/is only available to eligible customers in Europe.

Yep, it shoould have been PMA2, not PMA1

This data sheet here shows SPECTRUM available for WRXi

https://www.globaltestsupply.com/pdfs/cache/www.globaltestsupply.com/ws10-spectrum/datasheet/ws10-spectrum-datasheet.pdf

I removed the other ones.

Thanks!

I pulled these off of images of other WRxi showing options installed. I am guessing someone was installing stuff not compatible.

I got a dead Wavepro 7200A which I brought back to life (I will post the repair on the other thread). It still has the stock Intel board, hard drive, 2.8GHz Pentium, and 512MB DDR2

The scope has XSTREAM 7.2 and it only came with option -M (medium memory: 8MB 2Ch and 4MB/ch) such option does not even exist in the 7200A datasheet!
I simply upgraded to option -XL (48MB 2CH, 24MB/ch) and it seems to be working and I can set the memory up to that amount and there is no complain from the scope. I didnt dare to use -XXL option, maybe I should?

However, my question is, the -M option key is still there. Should I remove it? I assume it is overridden by the -XL option anyways, right?

I also enabled other useful options like SPECTRUM ANALYZER, DMOD, DFP2, PMA2, I2C, UART, SPI, XMAP, and DEV.

With the DEV option, the service section is always open right in there!!? no need for password

My second question is: has anybody tried VSA (Vector Spectrum analyzer) and POWER_ANA (New power analysis package)? Do they work on 7200A?
I tried the TDR option and it enabled some stuff in the Math menu but it didnt work, it didnt complain but scope kept "Processing..." and eventually hanged. I removed that key but the menus that it created are still in there!! what gives?

EDIT: by the way I didnt even bother to find the options.cfg from my scope. I simply used the cfg file that was posted by Mechatrommer a few post above.

I really cannot see why the generated codes should not work on 8.x software. If I upgrade my software right now from 7.2 to 8.x, no doubt it will have the options available (they are written to that EEPROM). Maybe the Python script cannot use the new .cfg file that comes with 8.x but if you use the old .cfg file you can still unlock the options you want on V8.x . Like I said I just used a generic .cfg file that was posted by Mechatrommer and I dont remember what his scope model was but I am sure it was not wavepro 7000a

It is up to you (not the .cfg file) to know which options will work on your scope model. That .cfg file lists a zillion options that cover all lecroy scopes of several generations. On a wavepro 7000a maybe 15-20-25 of them work perhaps

I just added a couple options to my Waverunner 6030A running the latest 32 bit 8.whatever using my old options.cfg and it worked like a champ. My first real scope, I love it so far.
