Just to confirm this series can also be hacked using Peter's DSO-USB-tool http://peter.dreisiebner.at/dso-usb-tool/ via the shell. Hantek made a small change to the location of the files they are now stored in /dso/apps/ the command is:
mv /dso/apps/dst1072b /dso/apps/dst1202b
then reboot the scope using the power switch and keep your fingers crossed good luck.
Thank you to Tinhead and all the other contributors.
This worked on my unit. It still states "1072E" on sysinfo, but now it has 2ns sweep.
From what I can see for now (got my 1072e today), firmware has some things to be fixed, especially self calibration. My unit has offset of both channels depending on the vertical setting. And on 20mV (10x probe), it is pretty huge (several vertical divisions).
There is a LED on the back side. I don't know if there is a camera there. The camera window seems empty. The LED is turned on for a moment during startup.
Pretty strange.
Also, as far as I can see there is not any new functionalities compared to my old 1062B. The interface and the menus looks the same, more or less.
P.S.: On the self calibration it goes to step 11 and then exits with "complete" message. There is definitely something wrong with self calibration routine. The offsets are also still there. The offset at 20mV setting is around 120mV which is clearly unacceptable.
