I’d guess that Rigol and Siglent have a much larger market share and likely get better component pricing as a result. Their manufacturing costs are probably also lower. That said, they likely are able to manage lower profit margins on much of their product line as a result. Another consideration is that Pico needs to sustain the software development that makes their products so valuable. A hardware BOM cost comparison probably doesn’t provide the whole picture. I think that Pico’s software environment would suit my scope needs better than stand alone desktop products - it seems very handy for observing and finding issues with longer acquisitions. Too bad they are out of my financial budget. |

Worked a treat for me too! (Attachment Link) --- End quote --- My serial is ending with zero J****/**30 , if I change it to J****/**29 - hack does not work, if I decrease last digit in number J****/**30 by 1 so it will be last digit hex 29 so not a number anymore ( 0 is hex 30). Is there any way for such case? |

Hi all, I very new to this side of tech. I think I have libusb and fx2tool setup properly on my macbook. When I connect my picoscope 2405a, I see in my system information that it has pid 1016. Now when I sent the command: fx2tool -B -d 0CE9:1016 read_eeprom -W 1 0 256 -f eeprom.hex I get the response: Command not acknowledged (wrong address width?) fx2tool -B -d 0CE9:1016 read_eeprom -W 2 0 256 -f eeprom.hex this works and writes the file. After a bit of puzzeling and reading through all the posts again I figured out which numbers to change (I used a straight text editor) and uploaded the new file with: fx2tool -B -d 0CE9:1016 write_eeprom -W 2 -f eeprom_hack32.hex Did a readback and found the new numbers in place. Next I started picoscope 7 and it finds a 2406B, with the serial 1 lower than before, but it also shows a red X and says failed. So I hope that the great folks on this forum can nudge me in the right direction. I just want to see what is possible. Even upgrading it 1 step from 25 to 50 Mhz would be welcome. At least loading the original backup back, did restore the scope to the factory settings and it works in picoscope 7. |

We do know that some of the 2204A models can be upgraded to the 2205A, however I do believe that 2406B model is a totaly different species (different size and hardware) so no upgrade will be possible ... |
