SOLD (UK) Tek DPO2014B 100MHz 4 channel scope

[TopLoser]

Not had a Tek scope for ages, this seems like a decent enough one (at the right price!)...

Tektronix DPO2014B, 4 channel 100MHz 1GS/s on all 4 channels, 1Mpnt memory, nice big screen.

Customer return, just back from Tek after being repaired/calibrated. Warranty till May 2021. Looks like new but it's had 300 hours use.

Easy to enable the serial decode options on this scope, Google away and be amazed just how easy it is...

List price £1950+VAT, cheapest I can find that sold on ebay was about £900. That one had probes, this one doesn't so you'll have to use your own.

Anybody want it for £575+shipping (£10 UK, £20 sensible EU countries, elsewhere please ask).

SOLD

My google-fu must be weak, all I can find is a redacted article following a DMCA take-down and a long thread on Hackaday about the morals of the original hack

Looks a nice enough 'scope though.

Looks like modules that are pushed in like USB sticks DPO2EMBD, DPO2AUTO, DPO2COMP ... which cost enough push it right out of my budget range but I'm sorely tempted

I know you told me to go buy a Rigol - if I had any sense I would ...

I just buy old unwanted TDSFFT modules off eBay and reprogram them. Nobody wants the FFT modules now because FFT is no longer an option, it's standard in latest firmware on TDS scopes.

Example file to enable COMP option attached. easy to see from the contents of the BIN file how to enable other options...

As I already mentioned in this thread: https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/mso2000-application-module-hack/ the original page can still be found using archive.org:

Yes, tried archive.org but got an error and, while the above URL gets you the page, the binary image files and jpegs are not there.

So a little work to recreate the hack will be required (probably just a valid key to see where the contents need to go within the 8k eprom),
