Activations keys and jitter fix firmware DS1054Z.
For those interested. A few people have updated the firmware with the keys already installed. I did it as well and have had no issues all the keys are still there. The firmware 00.04.02.SP4 is the current one that in theory fixes the jitter issue. It did fix mine, so far I haven't seen any fails in this regard but it's early days.
My original firmware:
Software 00.04.02.SP3
Board 0.1.1
I used the activation code DSER and it worked on the first go.
http://gotroot.ca/rigol/riglol/ A google search for "riglol" should find the key maker if the link dies. You will see others keys listed on the web page, the correct key is not listed you need to use DSER. You may want to download the source and store it in a safe place for future use.
Note that after the keys are activated your Model Number will change to DS1104Z this is normal.
I do not know if the keys will install correctly after the firmware update. I expect that it would but I did not do it that way.
Just a quick note about the firmware install.
- Use a good quality USB stick freshly formatted.
- Install time varies 2-5 minutes is typical but I did read a post that one that was close to 10 minutes. You need to allow the install to finish. Removing power or the stick during the update could cause issues.
- I ran the cal routine after the update. I don't know if that's a recommended procedure but as a general rule I do after a firmware update. Make sure the scope is up to temp so the cal is correct.
