Is there a chance to configure the GwInstek? Like you can do with other scope?
Would like to configure it individually.
The offers in the store have features I do not need and are missing features I do want.

It was reported one month or so ago, but I don't know what was the outcome

"don't know what was the outcome" <- that was the reason why I didn't pay attention

I can confirm that firmware 1.23 does not like the latest codes.   

Downgrading to 1.12, apply desired licenses and upgrading works fine.

Hmmm... that proves that GW Instek is monitoring EEVblog  ;D
There are small lies, big lies and then there is what is on the screen of your oscilloscope.

The new codes were released after 1.23 release date...

Edit: But it seems I overlooked another code combination...

Well then it seems people are doing things wrong. I was assuming 1.23 was a new firmware version but appearantly it is not.

It's possible I overlooked something of course.

I just replaced the four numbers in lis.txt (reply #3) with the ones given in reply #47

Reasonably sure I had the serial number correct both times (no homoglyphs in it)

It did not work on my GDS-1054B with firmware 1.23 

I had to downgrade it to 1.12, apply the hack and upgrade to 1.23

And upgrade does not work when executed from the utility menu, it only works when using SAFE MODE.

But fortunately using SAFE MODE you can downgrade and upgrade from any version to any other version.

I also tested SSH on 1.12 to remove the options file and it works OK.

Sorry guys, maybe I overlooked something and there is another combination...   ::)

uint[] ClearCode = { 0x3D1B58BA, 0x74B0DC51, 0x19495CFF, 0x257130A3 };

Can anyone test this with a v1.23 ?

Edit1:

Thanks wgoeo for the test. It seems i mixed the order...  :palm:  Endianess stuff...

So the correct order is:

uint[] ClearCode = { 0x19495CFF, 0x257130A3, 0x3D1B58BA, 0x74B0DC51 };

It doesn't work.  I downgraded to 1.12, connected using ssh, removed OptionsConf file to remove previous licenses, upgraded to 1.23 using SAFE MODE, tried applying new license code but it gives the same error.

TK....  what's the latest with your GDS-1054B?   Is the hack working, and if so, what is your BW?

The last time I checked, I was able to measure frequency up to 300-350MHz, highly attenuated.  I don't have it anymore to continue the tests.

{0x19495cff, 0x257130a3, 0x3d1b58ba, 0x74b0dc51}

I checked with 1.24 (but not with a real scope), maybe it also works with 1.23.

It seems you can get SSH back. Rename the attached file to debug.dbg, copy to a USB drive then do the same procedure. The password may have changed but you can probably add a command in the script to change it.

Edit: It's a startup script so you should reboot.

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.

@tonywood ... after modding your GDS-1054B...  is it still a 50Mhz scope?

 :wtf: :-//
I successfully generated the .lic files... but when I select each .lic file I get:

"To install this option you must use the GW USB key."

  Anyone have any ideas?  Help greatly appreciated.


(Both with 1.12 and 1.23.   I'd previously used the wrong ClearCode={xx} for my fw version...  which gave me a different error (something re: "check license!" or some such).   But I corrected the ClearCodes so I get past the "check license!".)

New Frimware v1.26 and a new Fixed 4 Measurement Function Module license for GDS-1000B.

On 2000E there's also the Function Module "Fixed 4 Measurement"
The firmware version installed on 2000E is 1.40 but I think this option came from a previous firmware version, I just haven't acknowledge his existence back then.
 
Anyone has this unlocked, or even know what does this do?
Thanks for any enlightenment.

Try to unlock it using the KG. The only thing the KG uses is the option_index not it's name. So you can try different indexes even if the name doesn't seem to be related.
