Does anyone know the meaning of the "Unsealed Instrument" warning? Does it affect operation of the scope in any way? What is it about the hack that makes the scope display this message, and is there any way to eliminate it?
Keysight protects the system by enabling a "seal flag" which prevents changes to the licensing, command line and other settings.
The hack that is public overrides that "seal" setting in a global way. By doing so, when the scope reads the status of the "seal" for any kind of operation, you get an unsealed setting and the change is allowed.
IMHO Keysight wanted to be sure that the config is "sealed" before shipping and, as such, developed that msg warning.
That state shouldn't create any harm unless people (or a bug) do operations that shouldn't be done that, in normal circumstances, would be barred by the "sealing".
BTW, all this talk about the X-models is OT in this thread!
