Hi
Hi, I’ll swap you an IConnect CD copy, described below, for a code of your IConnect dongle.
I have a CD image of the disk pictured in the attachment, IConnect 80SSPAR Tek# 063-3897-04. The disk is supposed to work on all Tek TDS8000 family scopes including DSA8300. I have a DSA8200 and installed it. I can adjust differential signal alignment with the installation, but I need the dongle for TDR Line analyzes.
I don't have the Sentinel Superpro dongle for IConnect. My knowledge of the dongle is: and image can be read from it and the written into another Superpro dongle. There is a company called SakeKey International (
https://www.safe-key.com/software.html ), and others like them, that provide dongle copying service. I think Sentinel's parent company tries to prevent this. They required a dongle driver and dongle protector to be installed with the IConnect installation. I assume this means the image read is altered. I also assume SakeKey figured out a way around if. There is an article about hacking the driver to eliminate the dongle, see Sentinel_Dongle attachment.
My opinion is all Sentinel parallel port dongles are made from 93C46 EEPROMs (or there die) with some digital logic (programmed PLD) to interface with the parallel port. I have software that reads and writes parallel port Sentinel dongles with source code. It uses x86 I/O read and write instructions to read and write the three registers in PC’s parallel port hardware. I believe an exact image of the dongle's EEPROM contents can be read with this software with no drivers or protectors install and written back to a second one. With luck it will work.
