Need help hacking DP832 for multicolour option.

<< < (42/91) > >>

TurboTom:
I doubt that the hack will work on DS/MSO 2000 and 4000 platforms since these are based on Blackfin DSPs (just like the DG4000) and not the iMX SOCs that are used in the machines that are apparantly/proven to be hackable with the described approach. Yet, turning the DS1000Z into an MSO may appear attractive to some, especially since there is this parallel thread approaching a "DIY" probe adapter for the MSO1000Z and MSO5000 platforms.

Cheers,
Thomas

on the ds1000z series, it may be usefull in the future to switch it to the MSO variant.
also, although i'm not sure, it was the case that Riglol didnt work on the 2000 and 4000 series.

It's almost guaranteed that you can convert a DS1000Z into a MSO but, in the end, you need the additional HW.

They use the same FW, although each one uses a licensing scheme/functions different. But both methods are present in the FW.

Of course you would have to flash a key_block into the DS in order for it to behave as a MSO. Remember all the "rigup machines" take their private keys from a block that's in their flash.

As the DS doesnt have that block, you would have to create it besides "changing model".

It could be that the simple insertion of the key_block (in the flash) is the trigger to a model change!

Out of curiosity, what does the :PROJ:STAT MCALTIMES,QUERY command do?   I searched the net and all I could find was something from this thread on page 7 that has been edited or is missing from some other reason.   Google Cache was no help.

Does it query calibration times?   What's the M for I wonder?  Also, why would that command be a bad idea to run?

I bet it's the last post on page 6 has been moved from page 7 by someone deleting post somwhere in the thread.
Compare it's contents: cat: /dev/usbtmc1: Connection timed out ~$ echo ":PROJ:STAT MCALTIMES,QUERY" vs https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/need-help-hacking-dp832-for-multicolour-option/msg2324442/#msg2324442

It just prints the values of two variables. I'd guess it's counting how many times a manual calibration is done. I don't see why running the command would break anything but it would be completely unnecessary. People had problems upgrading their DG1000Z's, so I wanted to see if the :PROJ:STAT command would work at all. That post was by no means intented to be a guide.
