new killer scope in town - a true game changer from R&S - RTB2002 & RTB2004

Thanks, I used the HCOP:DATA? command.

I suspect the Fan model has been changed from early RTB to more recent. My unit arrived after 6 months on order in Jan 2023 and it is very quiet. Peaking inside the fan is also rubber mounted, but sorry no idea of the brand.

Hi,
After more than 6 years in service I'd like to check if the button battery on the rtb2004 front board would need a replacement. No messages nor any problem arised by now.

The cell is easy to access once retired the back cover, but I'm not sure if removing it may delete any important record (like calibration or so) or it's just a RTC battery that in the worst case will reset the system date and time.
Of course the user manual doesn't even mention it.

Has anyone gone into this? Thanks!!

Changing the battery is not a problem. When the oscilloscope is switched on, a message appears if the date is invalid, indicating that some options have been deactivated. But everything still worked for me, and after setting the current date and restarting, everything works as usual.

Thank you Peter, I swapped the battery and all went smooth exactly as you said. Just for reference the battery was a Renata lithium 3V CR2032. It was still holding 2.95V, but replaced anyway to avoid leakage risks.
