No need for a code. Just use the online chat with them.

What Bitseeker said.

Last week, after reading the blog site here, I used the online chat with TEquipment, told the chat person about the high marks about TEquipment from here, and about the scope, and he gave me a discount from the posted price. Shipped UPS ground. The amazing thing was that the scope (I purchased the the DS1074z) arrived to my door step in less than 48 hours. Thumbs up!

Already 'talking' with the scope using TCP - nice unit!

It is not limited by hardware. (depends how want think)
Highest true sensitivity in DS1000Z is 5mV/div.
After then 2mV and 1mV/div is only digitally vertically "zoomed".
What you get more if you zoom more.

ADC have 8 bit. 256 theoretical levels. (if look more deeply not really even this, ENOB, analog front end noise etc)

2mV/div (simplification) 128 levels.
1mV/div (simplification) 64 levels

do you want zoom more.
If you look this scope quite noisy front end (analog front end + ADC) noise, do you get something more if you zoom more.

It is totally other case IF there is good low noise amplifier before ADC so that with 5mV pp signal it use ADC full scale. (around 10 div vertically on the display)

Finally: Lowest true sensitivity in DS1000Z is 5mV/div.

This is truth least in my DS1074Z.

Hi RF-Loop,
where you have this info from?

The reality is that 2mV/div is the lowest TRUE vertical sensitivity on DS1000Z!
ONLY 1mV/div is magification

But I already have latest one 00.04.03
One you've linked: DS1ZUpdate_00.04.02.04.07.ZIP

Edit: I've checked linked firmware header. It shows: DS1000Z.........00.04.03.01.05......
Hmmm...let me find my USB stick

After the update, when you check system info, you'll see software version 00.04.03.SP1.

How hard would it be to restore a hacked DS1054Z to the factory setting and what would you need

You'll need a computer and USB cable in order to feed SCPI commands.

The command to uninstall the upgrades is ... :SYSTem:OPTion:UNINSTall (alternatively, you can also use :SYST:OPT:UNINST, as it's the letters in CAPS that = the actual command).

That will only remove the options. In order to set it (partly) back to the factory settings, you have to send the command *RST.

However, I don't know a way to get the time limited trial options back.

And by the way, easiest way to manually send SCPI commands is via LAN.
Open a console and enter the command telnet 192.168.1.7 5555
Change the ip-address to the actual address of the scope.
You can test it by sending the command *IDN?
The scope will respond with an identification string that contains brand, model, serialnumber and software version.

I have a DS1054z that I hacked using DSFR, and so have the 500uV option installed. I didn't know about the problems with it at the time. I'm downloading Ultra Sigma now to do the SCPI commands to reset it, but I had a few questions.

Even though I have the 500uV option installed, the smallest volts/div I can go down to is 5mV/div. Did Rigol eliminate the 500uV/div with SP4, since the 1054z hardware doesn't support it? I have 00.04.02.SP4 installed. Is this the latest?

How is the 500uV problem affecting the performance of the scope? If I never go down to 500uV/div would the problem affect higher volts/div? Is the scope not performing well at 2V/div or 10V/div because of the 500uV/div issue?

Also, I just went to download the latest firmware on the Rigol site. Am I looking at the "DS/MSO1000Z/-S: 00.04.03.01.05" for my scope? Is this new firmware still hackable? I think I need to put in the correct hack of DSER, and upgrade the firmware, and I'm not sure in what order to do that.

You probably have the probe scale factor set to 10X

No.

Doesn't matter.

You have the 10x option activated for the 10x probe.

Set it to 1x and it will go down to 500uV.

The newest version is 00.04.03.SP1, which is the version you downloaded from the Rigol site. Yes it is still hackable e.g. you keep all the installed options when you upgrade it.

Did anyone ever figure out how to get into what Rigol calls "project mode". On the DS2K/4K series you press the trigger menu button (set to edge) and then the buttons in the lower right followed by system. Then system info shows more detail and version info. I recall seeing a screenshot where someone got a DS1xx4Z in this mode once, but could never reproduce the keys to do it.

ThirtyThirtyWin · « **Reply #1722 on:** October 12, 2015, 10:59:46 pm »

Awesome, thank you edavid and hayatepilot. This forum is very active!

Oh, of course the probe is in 10x...

Switching it to 1x does indeed get the scope to a funky looking 500uV.

I'm working on resetting the scope now. Getting timeout errors when I try to send *RST and :SYST:OPT:UNINST. Going to try sending the commands over telnet/LXI when I get back from class tonight.

Then I just need to wait to hear back from Rigol about the firmware upgrade. Only company I've ever seen that doesn't just post the firmware as a download on their site, and instead makes you email them to request it.

I don't remember seeing such a screenshot, but if you ask the scope to save "Param" to a .txt file on the USB stick, then look at the text file, you'll see a lot of information on the scope's "software" which is what we are calling firmware, the actual "firmware" and "Boot" versions, and the scope's current settings.

Storage>Storage>Param, then Save, etc.

Selecting Storage>Default resets the scope's user settings to the factory defaults, except for the Language (and installed Options). This is useful for clearing out a complicated multichannel setup, for example.

Pressing the 5th-from-top grey left menu button repeatedly during bootup resets everything including language (but not the Options) back to factory default. This is useful if the scope is frozen and won't respond to buttons or knobs.

The link to the Rigol "firmware" update has been posted several times in the thread. Most recently on the previous page of this thread. You don't need to email them or wait for it.
