The group have managed to enable all the locked options without license keys. Over on the EEVBlog forums a group has been working on hacking another Rigol, the MSO5000, a 70 MHz oscilloscope which can be upgraded to 350 MHz via software licensing. Years ago the DS1022C oscillocope was hacked to increase bandwidth, and more recently the DS1054Z was hacked to unlock licensed features. Rigol’s test gear has something of a history of being hacked. Posted in Tool Hacks Tagged oscilloscope, python, rigol, Rigol 1054Z is looking for a few people to test it out, and of course pull requests are accepted. Yes, it’s a simple tool that does one job, but if you need that tool, you really need that tool. This work will plot whatever is being captured by the scope in a window, in Linux, but sometimes you just need a screencap of whatever is on the scope that’s why there were weird Polaroid adapters for HP scopes in the day. This work was inspired by the efforts of, who spent some time controlling the Rigol with Linux and Python. ![]() It’s a simple tool that does one job, glory and hallelujah, people are still designing tools this way. ![]() Testing has been done on OS X, and it probably works on Linux and Windows. A PNG of whatever is on the screen then appears on your drive. The usage of this python script is as simple as plugging the DS1054Z into your USB port and running the script. Now there’s a simple python script that grabs a screen cap from a Rigol scope. One small problem with the ‘Zed is the fact that capturing an image from the screen is overly complicated, and the official documentation requires dedicated software and a lot of rigolmarole. That means there’s a wealth of hardware hacks for this oscilloscope. If you don’t have an oscilloscope, this is the scope that has the power and features you need, it’s cheap, and the people who do hardware hacks already have one. The Rigol DS1054Zed is the oscilloscope you want. ![]()
