Possible GW Instek GDS-1000B hack

<< < (8/52) > >>

tonywood:
I got my unit today GDS-1054b, it came with firmware 1.19 so I downgraded to 1.18 and installed the *.lis files and verified they were working. I then upgraded to firmware 1.22 and all the options were still installed and work. Thanks to all for the help on this. Looks like you keep the added features with a firmware update.

I bought a Rigol DS1102E some years ago for $400.  It is quite satisfactory for many things.  Even if you spend $20K there will still be limitations.

The DS1054Z is a good 4 channel 50 MHz DSO at a very good price.  In 3- 4 channel mode the 125 MHz Nyquist limit doesn't really support going much higher, though in 1-2 channel mode with 500 MSa/S it can do a decent job at 100 MHz if hacked.

I had the good luck to pick up a GDS-2072E from Amazon for $244 delivered.  They were selling off old stock which they do periodically.  I jumped on it as a test bed for developing  FOSS FW for Zynq based DSOs.  I'd already bought the MSO-2204EA.  But there is no way I was going to risk bricking an $1800 scope.  Yesterday I tried the GDS-2000B BW hack and it worked and now gives me 200 MHz just like the 2204EA.

If your budget is tight, get the Rigol DS1054Z. It will serve you well and you'll have no trouble selling it if you buy a better scope.  It's popular and well established.  At a 25% discount someone like you will buy it in a heartbeat.  You don't often see used Rigol DS1054Zs offered for sale.  I suspect most people selling one sell it to a friend who is looking for a scope.

When I was in grad school in geophysics at Austin all I had was a 5 MHz recurrent sweep Heathkit IO-18.  It didn't even have BNC inputs.  I bought it at a yard sale for $75 and even that was a stretch for my budget.  I learned a great deal using that scope.
