New Zoyi multimeter+oscilloscopes - ZT-70xS, up to 50MHz/250MSps (nov 2022)

[naiclub]

Has anyone tried the newest v1.28 FW update available on Zotek's website? http://www.szzotek.com/h-col-159.html

When I went to this site my antivirus program gave a virus warning.

So I'm not going to try it out...

 

According to this
I'd like you to try and see how different it is from the previous version. Please help me explain.

[lchao]

Sorry for that. I have CrowdStrike Falcon on my PC and there was no alert for me, so I've downloaded the file and uploaded it to Virustotal. There's no harmful code detected, see attached picture. Unfortunately I cannot attach a .ztk file here, so I cannot share it.

Here are the checksums.

You can attach a zipped version of the ztk file.

[wedgehog]

There you go mate

[wasedadoc]

You can attach a zipped version of the ztk file.

I put a Zip up for you mate.

Not for me as I don't have one of those Zoyis but I see that already at least someone else might be grateful.

It's because of the bad website. of the company has not been updated It's older than Google Chrome. Makes the user enter the website and get an error. The only way you can enter is with Brave or Fire Fox.
Or whoever enters for the first time, a pop-up will ask you to choose a language. Please don't choose English. Leave it like that.

I don't know because I don't have this model. I'd like to know as well.

According to this

[Randy222]

Well be aware, Avast is giving me: (Attachment Link)

But user attached the 128 as a zip, so just grab that (a zip on eevb).
I was able to download from site, I also grabbed the zip. Same hash for ztk file. Did not install it yet.

Btw, if your own machine has malware software that blocks url's, you can always try to grab stuff from online tools, like reqbin site.

That szzotek.com link looks highly suspicious to me. Zotek's official website is zotektools.com. And whois shows they've anonymized their domain registration -- not that that alone is red flag, many legit business use a private registrar, as do I, but in light of all the other red flags it doesn't help with credibility. I'd suggest caution.

You still don't address the fact that these are non-TLS links pointing to what appears to be a non-official Zotek website that trips people's malware software left and right.

EDIT: I see that if you choose the English site at the top of the home page, it does take you to zotektools.com. That alone doesn't guarantee legitimacy, but looks better. BTW the links you posted don't work for me.

szzotek.com is suspicious, to say the least.
Now the webpage shows the 703s, that's odd.

Also, the fqdn has no 'A' records in DNS, just a CNAME to a host at faipod.com

ICANN has santioned that registrar Xin Net Technologies many times.

Why szzotek.com loads a ton of javascript from various "fai" urls is red flag for sure, for just posting links for some downloads.

You can see all this using the DIG online tool, lookup CNAME for the szzotek site, and, use Cloudflare Radar Scan to get all the details of the full URL's (webpage URI's) the user here posted.

[wedgehog]

I haven't installed the new software yet but I was using the 703S yesterday and I noticed that no matter what I set on the display menu tab, even if I set it to off, the display switches off at what appears to be the same period of time, I don't want it to switch off at all! most annoying when I am working on the bench, just in the middle of a measurement and the damn thing goes off!

As a rule for forums, please always list the FW #, because "new" changes day by day.
Was it the v128 from the suspect website, or v127 from official site?

I have 703 on v127. Goto scope, change output signal to sine (should just default to 5kHz), exit out and hit Auto, it basically crashes.

I not even sure why, when you turn off ch2 and you have signal on ch1, pressing Auto activates ch2 while it combs the freq to find best volt & time scales.

v127 seems to be problematic on the scope side of the code.

I cannot tell which menu item you are claiming to be changing. The two that I know of are the "BL time" setting in the oscilloscope menus and the "auto off" time in either set of menus. If those are all set the way you want them, I would probably do a "format" then a "default" and see if it behaves correctly after that.

[kevbry]

If anyone orders the kit with the 703 plus two probes, take care when unpacking. For mine they just taped the bag with the extra probe to the front of the box containing the instrument, then coated the whole thing in tape and bubble wrap. One snip of the scissors and I now own a 6 piece oscilloscope probe cable.

In conclusion, what is it? Or are the scissors cutting the cable damaged?

[kevbry]

> In conclusion, what is it? Or are the scissors cutting the cable damaged?

I cut the cable in several places while removing the bubble wrap. Not their fault, I should have been more careful. Though the second probe being outside of the box was unexpected.

I cut the cable in several places while removing the bubble wrap. Not their fault, I should have been more careful. Though the second probe being outside of the box was unexpected.

I would like to express my condolences. Next time please use just a knife.
