Hi. This is my MSO 5072. (firmware 00.01.03.00.01) Can I use the instructions from the first page of this thread? Will the DS5000Update.GEL file work?
Please, can you help me? Write a manual with backup and update options...
Hi. This is my MSO 5072. (firmware 00.01.03.00.01)
OK, so it's a little old.... NO PROBLEM
Can I use the instructions from the first page of this thread?
YES YOU CAN
This specific thread was created (Not for Licensing and Hacking) but for scope understanding and it's features.
But i have however done you guys the courtesy of including and updating the hacking progress
Here is what you need to do
On the first page of this thread there is a link.
HERE IT IS

TO UPGRADE, YOU ONLY NEED THESE 3 FILES
MSO5000 DrMefistoLicensing Method.pdf THE INSTRUCTIONS
MSO_Rigol_LicensingUtility_2.10b.py THE PYTHON SCRIPT
UPGRADING TO 350MHZ (1.3.3.0) THE GEL FILE
Now, Just briefly the 1.3.2.2 file is still there JUST IN CASE anyone needs it, But you don't really need it anymore
YOU WANT TO DO THIS
- You are on 1.3.0.1 YOU WANT TO IMMEDIATELY (Before any hacking) Upgrade legitamtely to 1.3.3.0
so Use the GEL file, put it on USB, go into your scope, Select LOCAL UPGRADE and let it run and restart
- After that, it'd be a good idea if you did a SELF CAL
- Then Crack out the instructions and read them, Do your backups as instructed
- And finally you're gonna install python as instructed and then you're gonna License your scope and see FOREVER,
it'll be easy , don't worry
if you have any problem, don't hesitate to reach out and if it's still hard, and we need to do a 1 on 1 session, that's no problem.
The script has come a long way since it started, it's now really easy to do and you don't need to really worry about restarts or hanging
or starting on a certain version or if you are on a version that is too low or whatever.
the only thing is, that VNC Viewer isn't supported until version 1.3.2.2 so you should upgrade to 1.3.3.0 to get all the supported versions.
You see, when the script looks at your scope (at the time is tries to license it) it gives you ALL AVAILABLE options,
Now if your version is lower there are some stuff that won't be available because of that. so STEP 1 - Upgrade to the latest version
Do that, Tell me how you go with it
Now, i didn't really want to make this post about Activating, but i'll make an exception this one time so that others can briefly read it.
but all future stuff like this, I'm going to redirect to here
https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/solutions-and-troubleshooting-hacking-the-rigol-mso5000-series-oscilloscopes/Which is also why i haven't given you detailed information here and i just put it in bullet point form.
but feel free to PM me if you like or email me
