not even needed. if you buy a quad size one the pages sit on consecutive i2c addresses...

essentially a 24c16 is eight 24c02's on consecutive addresses.
simply program the strings on the page offsets. probably will work perfectly fine.

there is a page adressing change once you hit the 24c32

I don't think this would work. Also, with MSO2024B, oscilloscope will read EEPROM only two times, but where is 3 functions to unlock.

miguelvp:
I just have to LOL at using the sku string to unlock the feature what where they thinking?  |O

Tothwolf:
After speaking with one of my clients, I'm expanding my boycott to all test gear and tools made by companies currently owned by Danaher.

Some of these include (not yet a complete list):

Fluke
Fluke Networks (which is mostly just made up of what used to be Harris test gear and tools...well, what's left of them anyway.)
Pomona
Tektronix
Keithley
Amprobe
Raytek
Hart Scientific
Datapaq
DH Instruments (DHI)
Ircon
Matco Tools

Another pro tip for Danaher / Tektronix... Do NOT piss off those who -sell- potential clients on using your crap in their labs and factories.



Btw, for those with older unsupported Tektronix gear who aren't already aware that they can freely copy and redistribute manuals...

A bit of an overreaction perhaps....
Given a choice between a bit of test gear that is known to be hackable and one that isn't, the former has to be preferable.
I don't think a bogus DMCA notice  from a legal dept to a site publishing info that was widely known  is reason to influence a purchasing decision.
Compared to things like patent trolling to stifle competition, or adding cumbersome DRM to products, this is really nothing to get upset about. All it has done is make the info more widely known.
