content: Almost a one month wait from t-equipment but my 1054z is on the UPS truck as we speakThe first thing I'm gonna try is to " upgrade" it. I too have had no luck finding any luck on specifics as to can it be done. I am willing to help post experiment with mine for the benefit of all if somebody with more brains can guide me along

This gives you all 100% working options. There are some like 500uV range which should not be enabled since they are not official and working properly.Enjoy.Here you find more:https://www.eevblog.com/forum/beginners/upgrading-rigol-ds1074z-(1000z-series)-to-unlock-options/#1 answeredit:I am just reminding that the whole "hack" is done only via unlock code and no HW changes are necessary (at least for 1074z which I owe). You can revert your modified scope via PC in case you need to for some reason.

content: Yes, usehttp://gotroot.ca/rigol/riglol/.I just did this a few days ago. If it doesn't work the first time, close the page and clear your cache and try again. It didn't give me a valid code the first time.

content: 1. Download 'Source code' - located at bottom of the page (http://gotroot.ca/rigol/riglol/)2. Un-rar archive3. In the 'bin' directory you can find window, osx, linux and html(js) version4. If you are windows user: run riglol.exe in the CMD windowWorks perfect, much better then www on-line version.
