Hi
I had no clear, install with DSER in DS1074Z, without enabling 500uV Vertical , then I can install the DSBA option to enable or must be disabled?
No, do not enable it, it doesn't work.

Hello,

I received my DS1054Z some weeks ago. I has to wait more than two months. Great device, I really like it.

What are your experince with "Multi-level intensity grading display"? Should it show less frequent signal paths with lower intensity like an analogue scope? I tested with pseudo-random signal but I think only two intensity levels are shown: normal and a darker. Not a big deal but I expected more.

64 intensity levels are present which is more than enough in most cases. With very simple signals all you get is few grades if you think about it.

For stable signals, intensity graded display has a little benefit. However, for unknown or unstable signals it is much better. And it really shines in situations where analog signal is modulated.

In short, I would have to be pressed hard to go back to non-intensity graded display.

Take a look at Dave's summary review (EEVBlog #703) where he demonstrates the feature, describing it as one of the best on the market.

Yes, intensity grading mimics the intensity control of an analogue scope. See Dave's review on it - https://youtu.be/W2qdtQkBKhc?t=1921 (EEVBlog #704).

Hmmm. Made some tests. It seems that the behaviour depends on the horizontal time base and the memory depth settings. The higher refresh rate of the signal the more grades of intensity levels.
On low frequency signals (like audio) I can differentiate only two levels. The display persistency time settings has no effect on it except 0.

Thanks for the responses. Now I understand better. This is an amazing DSO for its price.

The waveform update rate drops at long time bases, so I suppose intensity grading will not make sense without persistence. I should try this out with a low frequency signal.

Model DS1054Z. I can confirm that the trick to unlock all features still works for Software version: 00.04.02.sp4

Firstly, i used the  DSFR option, then i re-entered new codes with the DSER on. I do not have spotted any problems so far. I think it works fine, all options are available.

Now, it Works as if i have a DS1104Z.

Btw. are there any discount codes for European resellers like Batterfly or Batronix?

Get through the checkout process, and on the second-to last step, there is a box for a coupon code. If you're having to enter your payment information, you've gone too far.

This has taken me out of lurker land.  Would it possible for me to get a code too?  About to pull the trigger and pick one of these up!

This is probably a FAQ by now, but I can't readily find an answer: Any suggestions for "must have" accessories to a DS1054Z scope? A better probe?

The probes are good enough for me. Some of them have issues with the 1x/10x switch in the 1x position, which are measurable with a resistance meter, but don't seem to affect scope measurements under normal circumstances. Of course, if you have special requirements (differential probes, HV, current measurement or whatever), those might imply the need for additional probes.

A couple of good 50 Ohm pass-through terminators are important in my view, since the scope does not have built-in 50 Ohm termination at its inputs.

I am super confident this won't happen as the DS1xxxz scopes don't even have an RTC. Maybe on the DS2xxx series :-D

So the DS1054Z is going up by from 299 to 339 euros. Given that US dollars and euros are almost at parity at the moment it will be interesting to see if this will affect the rather higher $399 list price in the States.

Remember that those Euro prices are without VAT.
Considering that the DS1054Z appeals to hobbyists/private buyers, for many the effective price difference will be larger than EUR40 (depending on national VAT rates...)
