umm...yeah. that's for MDO4000B though but I guess they are very similar to DPO4kB at least they dont have official BW upgrade option in their datasheet just like DPO4kB.
But I wonder what he meant because I cannot find that method he is talking about

Sorry, my bad!

However, I want to enable the options and I had read all the MDO and DPO 3000/4000B/4000C hacking threads. Now that I have got the scope
I can see none of those methods and techniques are applicable really  :palm: |O

Let's say I generate the key with python script, then what? There is no place in this scope to enter any key  :palm: |O
Let's say I use the module programming, then what? there is no place to "transfer" the license to the scope  :palm: |O
so, unless there is a way to program a module (with a new larger EEPROM) with several options (similar to TDS3000) then I cannot see how these scopes can be hacked really.

Is there any way to do it through the SCPI commands? Telnet?

Wonder if you managed to enter the option code, I just scored a MDO4K and found no way to enter the option key  :palm:

On my MDO4000C, it's Utility -> Utility Page: Config -> Manage Modules & Options -> Install Option.

It's a little easier to key in if you have a USB keyboard handy that you can attach.

I am using a MDO4104-6, on the Install Option page, I can’t find any way for me to enter the key  :-//

Here is my MDO4000C.

I am wondering if the firmware needs updating?
