Lecroy WaveSurfer 24Xs Disk Image?
« on: November 10, 2024, 03:52:01 am »
Hi all,

A couple of weeks ago I found an intact Lecroy Wavesurfer 24Xs in my university's ewaste area. I was able to turn it on and get it to post but it complained about a disk boot failure.
Upon cracking it open I discovered that it actually didn't have a hard drive.

So I bought one and I'm trying to reinstall the software on a brand new drive. I've read online that the hard drive contains calibration data on a separate partition from windows, and this data is mandatory for the Lecroy software to work. Everyone who's done an HDD -> SSD swap on these scopes stresses that its of utmost importance that you don't lose this data.

Problem is, I don't have the original hard drive. Am I screwed?  :-BROKE

If someone owns this scope can you make a disk image and send it to me?

Thank you so much.

If it's the same as the WP7k scopes (also using XStream), you can do a clean install with an extra partition for the cal data to save to, install XStream, open up the service options with the pin code, and tell it to run the calibration routines.  At least with those scopes, no external equipment required as the stored data is basically a lengthy self cal.

Thank you! It turns out you are correct and I was able to install Windows and XStream, and XStream was able to launch with an empty D partition. It just complains about being inaccurate when it launches without calibration data.

I would like to do the self cal, do you know how I can find the pin code?
