Hacking the DSO2X1X

[Aldo22]

Should I follow the same instructions to convert to 2D15 like it was a xxCxx model?

You can do that, but I don't think you'll notice any benefit.

Should I update to the latest version? It came with SW 1.0.3.0.0 230327.00 and FW 3205.

You can do that. Read the FAQ.

I have a question about the probe. On x10 attenuation it mentions max input voltage<600V DC+Peak AC. Does it mean 1200 Vpp or 600 Vpp? 230V(rms) is 650Vpp. Can I probe that?

I think the limiting factor is the scope, not the probe.
Maximum Input Voltage: 300VRMS (10X)

Hello everyone,
I bought the Hantek DSO2C10. After I came across this forum on YouTube, I "read through" it first.
After I saw that the device can also be hacked, I unscrewed it, of course. To my delight, I saw that all the necessary components were already installed on the circuit board. I then made a backup of the software and then set the oscilloscope to 2D15. As you can see, it worked. I also stuck heat sinks on the two large ICs and installed a fan. Now I'm creating a fan controller.

Thanks to everyone who made this possible.

Thanks DavidAlfa again for making this Hantek model more shining.
But I wonder why all you from the top country of the world of technology (Germany, Switzerland, Canada...) bought this model after lots of "warning", instead of Rigol or Siglent, at least.

It's simple: it's cheap (I paid $130 including shipping), it has an AWG and it does the job for me. I would buy it again.

There are products in every price range.
If you buy a cheap small car, you can be perfectly happy with it if you don't expect it to run 250km/h, have 6 massage seats, go as quiet as an RR, etc.
What I never understand is why people for whom it is not suitable have to make negative comments about it. Does that give you something?

Nope, I don't have any idea.
You got what you paid for.
You are happy with it, that's enough! Don't care about my comment.
Maybe this Hantek is not suited for my work. Lag and noise, I tried many ways in 2 months then gave up. I even didn't believe in its measurement results
Got it 2 years ago, been a user for 6 months then I gave it to my friend as a gift. He quite like you, enjoyed with the first digital oscilloscope.
I don't want to pay more, but I had to change to Siglent.

What measuring range/type are you talking about?
I actually find it quite accurate wherever I can check it.
E.g. here a few days ago.

Up to 20MHz I think it's quite OK.
Above that I don't really have a reference.
I wouldn't believe the amplitude at 100MHz either, but I'm not interested in that anyway.
