JUST ran the hack STANDING ON THE SHOULDERS OF GIANTS. It was simple and successful.
THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR ALL THE HARD WORK MAKING THIS AVAILABLE. Not your day jobs, but GREATLY appreciated!
Folowing was copied from another post. I added the numbers to the steps since being in my 70's I'm easily confused. Yes folks, I worked for Tektronix when the 465 475 were introduced...
Begin Copied Material:Roughly this is what worked for me,
Get a new, brand name usb stick.
1) Go to the Rigol site and download the latest firmware. version: 01.03.00.01
Download the .GEL flie from the zip file to your usb stick, then do a local upgrade.
once complete, clear the data off the usb stick
2) Go here:
https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/hacking-the-rigol-mso5000-series-oscilloscopes/msg3024342/#msg3024342download the zip file in that post. unzip the contents, (2 files) to your USB stick
3) Go here:
https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/hacking-the-rigol-mso5000-series-oscilloscopes/msg3025330/#msg3025330download the file. rename it, removing the .DOC, copy that to your usb stick.
4) Your usb stick's contents should look like the file listing here,
https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/hacking-the-rigol-mso5000-series-oscilloscopes/msg3077233/#msg30772335) So, now you have a freshly upgraded scope that has been rebooted.
Insert your usb stick.
6) Select local upgrade.
. The screen should turn white with black text. It should ask you to press a button on the scope to upgrade.
After this completes, i think you have to press any button twice.
End Copied material May you all remain well during the trying times we're experiencing!
