Title: Rigol DS5202CA USB
Post by: altmangf on February 25, 2022, 12:34:25 am

I have a Rigol DS5202CA oscilloscope. It has a USB port but Rigol hasn’t updated the driver since 2006 and the available driver is 32 bit. I have been unable to install the driver on Windows 10. The scope had an optional GPIB and/or RS-232 port, but I do not have that hardware.

Short of finding an old Windows XP machine, does anyone here know of a way of getting the USB to work so I can connect to Labview or Ultrascope?

Also, the scope has a 50 pin connector on the back (Centronix I think). Does anyone know what it is for?

Thanks!

This is why I insist on Ethernet. Drivers suck. Hard. Every time.

Have you tried a 32 bit VM in Virtualbox (do those even run anymore)?
