I have read all the posts and threads about it, if I understand it, since the modification for the DS2072 seems to work also on the DS2072A,
I've seen no confirmation of that anywhere. Precisely the opposite, in fact.
I want an oscilloscope for small home projects, and I would also buy a simple function generator (if possible also arbitrary), the DS2072A-S has them both.. But the thing that interests me most of all is the possibility to decode serial signals.
In that case, get the DS1074Z-S... it's a no-brainer. Cheaper than the DS2072A-S will be, available immediately, and known to work with the keygens. Way more than enough capability for "small home projects". The only constraint I'd mention there would be that if CAN protocol decoding is important to you, the 1074Z-S won't have it, and the 2072A-S will.
You are right, I read it quickly and I understood what I wanted to understand .. my fault!
The DS1074Z-S might be sufficient for my needs, 1 GSa / s instead of 2GSa / s are not a problem, as the 24Mpts instead of 56Mpts.
The CAN decoding currently does not interest me at all.
The features that interest me most are instead the Real-time Waveform Record / Replay and RS232/UART, I2C, SPI Trigger and Decoding function.
The function of signal generator would allow me just to avoid the purchase of an additional device.
Another obstacle may be the occasional need to work with signals greater than 70MHz.. On rigloldot3owldotcom I do not see listed a code to bring it to 100MHz.. Should I perhaps consider directly the DS1104Z-S?
Reading the posts, however, I am not able to figure out if for the DS1104Z-S it's also possible to generate valid codes for the various optional features, or if they only work on the DS1074Z/DS1074Z-S as for the DS2072 where is not yet known whether they can operate on the DS2072A-S.
Now I do not know really what to buy. -.- '
Probably the DS1074Z-S or the DS1104Z-S if the functions were certainly unlockable otherwise the DS2072 (not A) and a separate function generator..
All suggestions are welcome!
