I tried it, got an error about using the code in combination with other offers (I had only the scope in my cart), and then it messed up the pricing on my order (added $250 to the previous total). I had to abandon the cart. I'm waiting for Friday after Thanksgiving to contact Tequipment sales.

I just spent the last 20 minutes attenuating the probes, and am now using it to track PWM from a MSP430 and temperature output from a LM35. Using them together to make a closed loop temperature control system for an academic project.The 1054z is working wonderfully.

content: I like the idea of having the software upgrades legit, but if you want the 100Mhz you are going to hack it anyway. This kind of negates the "bonus" of getting the software for free. I have seen a thread in the For Sale section about this sale where someone used the code and got the price to $326 with free shipping. Hard to pass up, but I still have to wonder if they are not reducing stock ahead of the release of a new model. That would seem a logical counter to the 4 channel Siglent scope that it to be released Monday. Dave

I would think a phone call or email tomorrow, along with your paid order confirmation number, would produce the unlock code(s) needed. With the almost universal knowledge of the hack I can't imagine these software upgrades have any monetary value to Rigol anymore. I would think that even in the corporate or educational markets where hacking just does not work, that Rigol passes along these upgrades at no charge as a sales incentive, though I have no actual knowledge of this.

content: I think the advantage of getting the "legitimate" options package from Rigol during this free promotion versus the "riglol hack" activation, to me is that the entire scope and all the options are warranted by Rigol. You get full tech support from Rigol and the seller and full warranty claim support too because the unlocked options "came with it". Because unlocking it yourself you are in a gray area.Looks like TEquipment fixed the shopping cart glitch it is taking the discount! Was not yesterday!!Happy Black Friday

content: I just wish they'd update the kit so the free trial time only burns off while your using the actual upgrade and not the entire time the scope is powered up. Seems like it would be a more fair implementation of the free trial. At any rate, I got my reply from the sales staff via eBay and they very politely informed me that it was a no-go. Let that be a lesson for other less experienced blog members like myself; use the TE website directly and go to the discount thread to request the code before you shop. A $50 mistake that I wont make again. Thanks again to TE and Rigol for taking care of the forum members.Cheers.

content: The DS1054Z doesn't have a real-time clock like higher-grade scopes. So, the trials count down anytime the scope is powered on. It doesn't matter if you use the features or not.They probably could've stored an accumulated runtime count based on a timer tick, but any extra work adds to the cost. Ah, well. Caveat emptor or use the riglol codegen.

content: Quote from: Old Printer on February 08, 2018, 04:12:56 amSorry, should have clarified it a more bit. I compared the scopes because they are in the same price field - even if they got other features.4 channels is not mandatory for me, 2 are enough. I was interested in the overall quality, since the unlocks for the DS1054Z are free at the retailer I'm going to buy either scope,that means no need for hacks, since it's coming installed already.The other answers also helped me a lot, I'm going to buy the Siglent. Thanks guys.
