Warning: Playing with hex settings on your oscilloscope can turn it into a brick. Make sure that you have adequate knowledge of oscilloscope functions and computer knowledge before you attempt this. Although steps have been taken to ensure the accuracy of this video, I cannot be held responsible for any damages of any kind. Good luck!
In the process of activating my options, I noted the following:
1) You definitely have to roll back the firmware. The SCPI for the later version will *LOOK* like it accepted the memory dump command, but it will not generate the MEMDUMP.BIN file. Also, for easy copy and paste, here's the command:
SHELLCMD cat /dev/mem > /usr/bin/siglent/usr/mass_storage/U-disk0/memdump.bin
2) In my version of the SDS1204X-E (purchased 01/20/2023) , the license keys were actually split up into two different memory locations:
The first location was at 0xB2B9FE8 for 0x18 bytes (1st full key and the first half of the 2nd Key).
The second location was at 0xB6B9000 for 0x28 bytes (second half of the 2nd Key, and then keys 3 and 4).
When you find the first key, enter it into the search bar of your Hex Editor and locate the second and you will find the second part of the Key Block.
Just copy both segments into a text editor as 4 rows of 16 characters. Note that the 4th key is again the same as the 1st key and can be disregarded.
Other than this little hiccup, the process worked like a charm! Thank you for posting this. Great information!
Thanks for this clip!
Nice video clip, keep it up, thank you for sharing :)
You da Man!
does this activation method also work for the Sbus multi IO pod?
The only thing I am interested in was the ability to control the scope on the computer, and it appears you already can do that without paying or hacking it as long as you’re ok with running an Ethernet cable.
That can cause issues with the scope's readings (and possibly even safety!) unless you want to spend $$$ to opto-isolate the ethernet cable. Using this hack to unlock their absurd-ass $75 """license""" you can use a $10 wifi dongle in the rear USB port. 👍
@@Bakamoichigei what do you mean… the thing has an Ethernet port built in. I’m saying I’m fine with using it un-hacked because the features I need are already included.
@@SHUTUPYAFACE Hooking an un-isolated ethernet cable up to an oscilloscope can introduce unwanted interference. I honestly don't know why they have ethernet ports on these inexpensive scopes, because at that price point they're obviously not isolated as-manufactured, and it'd cost the end user at least 1/4 the price of the scope to add an isolator in-line on the ethernet cable... 😬
Great video! Could you share a screenshot of the hacked scope showing a 200Mhz signal? Before doing it I want to be sure the front end can handle it. thanks!!
I was able to read a 315MHz signal without issue. Your front end won't be negatively affected by any signal so long as the voltage doesn't exceed the rated spec.
Anyone know how to fully factory reset, including the Startup Times counter?
Hi I followed exact but couldn’t find the 4 lines of serial number what am I doing wrong
SAME HERE. iT APPEARS THIS NO LONGER WORKS
I only have 1 line with part of the code. The hack doesn't work
Read other thread, the key is split into 2 sections in different locations.
Thanks for the help!!! SHELLCMD function doesnt work on 6.1.37R10 , you need to downgrade scope software first to 6.1.26 and follow the instructions and it works
"alpha numeric strinh" lol
ty for the video!
What good are these paid options? I'm not going to use WiFi and don't have the logic probe attachment so I can't see them being of any use.
cool !!
What about oscilloscope measurements? They work just as well, do you need to send the device for calibration?
Yes, the oscilloscope needs to be sent in to calibration every year since the first calibration at the factory.
@@rickyao2468 Why?:C Do you use it in your company or private?
@@bodzio_stawski187 i use it as a hobby
@@rickyao2468 Ok, so no calibration required:)
@@rickyao2468 Nobody does that. Today's scopes perform self calibration.
Yolo!
Nice Video, but 480p in 2020? Ufffff
You need to enable the 1080p hack on your computer.
Isn't this scope also software upgradable to 200 mhz?
Yes it is!
@@Lissica1 could you also tell us wich part is needed for the 200 mhz upgrade ?
If you hack it to the 200 MHz, would you then need to use the firmware for the 1204 when you update it?
@@Myis300t I have no idea, I never did this.
👍
does this upgrade it to be a 200mhz scope?
No, sorry
Way outta date this method when you can instead use an online python script that generates the 'official' licenses that can be installed manually or via the webserver SCPI command page. Works for several Siglent models and instrument types.
Why not make a video to show how you did this using python??
Can you email this to me please. I have the sds2202x-e and I'm not paying 300cad for a sla key
@@jstro-hobbytech Ask Mr Google exactly this and start following your nose: Siglent hack python script
Is it possible to hack my Siglent SDS1202X-E to Siglent SDS1204X-E?
What did you end up finding out? I have the same scope.
You mean, add two more channels? I mean it's physically missing the 2 BNC ports.
