Trying to hack the DSOX1204(A/G) firmware
pizzigri:
Sorry to resurrect an old thread like this, but I was looking at this Keysight scope, and wondering whether anyone managed to actually succeed in the hack.

All the features are now included in the base price, so no need for a SW hack. The only hacks are BW with requires hardware mods ranging from a quick resistor swap and more advanced if you are starting from the EDU models. If you start from the DSOX, then just a resistor swap can give you full BW

Hey TK, that was exactly what I was after, a BW increase... it's over 350 Euro and is actually presented as a SW package, hence the idea that it was some unlock sw key. But, if it's only a resistor swap - well, wow! do you happen to have the details? I have not found it in the forum, however I'm looking for the DSOX1202/4G, so maybe it's under some other name.
Thank you! It's really appreciated.

Sorry!!! You don't get full BW with the resistor swap!!! Not enough caffeine in the morning...

I believe that instead of focusing on the efforts on how to "hack" the scope without opening it, we should focus on how we can actually install the options (generate keys, yada yada)
Because :
1) Our friendly Keysight folks will probably be less concerned if the hack requires opening the scope. And to be honest (I know you are reading Keysight) they will also have less incentive to make the process more difficult, if the barrier to entry is higher. Whereas if it's too easy, we might end up with a super protected scope and we don't want that. I can even imagine that they will leave it open on purpose... for hobbyist use. No company will do that. But hobbyists will. Keysight will sell more scopes and people will want to buy, at work, the scope they are using at home. WIN WIN !
2) We have limited time/resources to find a hack so we should focus on what brings the most value
Just my opinion :)
As a matter of fact I am currently looking for a scope for home use and I am considering only hackable scopes (which is why I started reading this thread).
