Upgraded/jailbreaked(?) Rigol scope - updating software/firmware safe?...

(1/5) > >>

Rax:
I've just been handed an upgraded Rigol 1052E which effectively became a 1102E. There's tons of posts and videos on this, including one from Dave.

I'm positive this has been discussed at length, but what's the situation with the scope at this point? Can I use the Rigol software freely (I'm apprehensive about some sort of reports back to Rigol this was hacked), can I mess with the firmware (such as upgrading it), can I take this online and hook up my computer to it and all that good stuff? Will I get in any trouble, and secondly, will anything get disabled on the scope?

Thank you very much for your input.

If it'd only be so easy...  :scared:

But seriously, I am concerned about hooking up the scope to their software to maybe find it disables something, or won't communicate or whatnot. Probably still paranoid to ask these questions, but I guess my overall question is if there's any limitations at all with running an "upgraded" scope with all available software and also online.

* Can I freely upgrade the firmware?
* Can I run selfcalibration with not concern it bricks or whatever?Etc.

1. Take it to Cheyenne Mountain together with an UPS and turn it on only at night. Don't say nothing to anybody!
2. Use it galore.

Your choice.

Humbly, I don't think you understand how different the countries we live in (you and I) truly are.

Regardless, my question is of a more practical nature than that.
