summary: 'This note describes two methods to hack license features on Keysight oscilloscopes:
|
|
one via a link file installation through the scope''s front panel utility, and another
|
|
involving firmware updates, telnet access, and file patching. It warns that incorrect
|
|
steps could permanently damage the scope requiring factory repair.'

Yes, a wrong step or wrong link might lead to your scope being unusable, and you'd need to send it back to the factory for repair.
|
|
|
|
That being said... has anyone actually BRICKED their scope yet? I don't remember of one but eh... it's quite a long thread.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Also, I've attached the file all inside a zip. The steps are basically :
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1) Extract all files (including the .lnk) to the root of your usb drive
|
|
|
|
2) From the scope's front panel, press Utility ->File Explorer -> Press to go to: <USB Drive label>(usually "usb")
|
|
|
|
3) From the drop down, scroll to the v241_link_install.cab to select
|
|
|
|
4) Press Load file
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The scope will ask for your confirmation and then it will load/update and reboot.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
FYI, my link file is :
|
|
|
|
160#\Secure\infiniiVision\infiniivisionLauncher.exe -l DIS -l MSO --perf -l MEMUP -l SCPIPS -l CABLE -l SGMC -l FLEXC -l TOM -l BW20 -l ADVMATH -l EMBD -l EDK -l VID
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the other cab uninstall the link file and restores your previous setting.

Ok, so I assume the minimal steps are:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
0) Install correct Firmware version first (i.e. in this case 2.43)
|
|
|
|
1) Download Safar's patched_nk_bin.comp file and copy to a USB stick and plug in.
|
|
|
|
2) Telnet into the scope.
|
|
|
|
3) Login infiniivision / skywalker1977
|
|
|
|
4) processmgr kill infiniivisionlauncher.exe
|
|
|
|
5) \windows\loadP500Flash -u ceImage1 \usb\patched_nk.bin.comp
|
|
|
|
6) Create a file on the USB stick called infiniivision.lnk with contents (e.g.) "88#infiniivisionLauncher.exe -l MSO -l BW20 -l DIS -l PLUS -l SCPIPS -l VID -l CABLE --perf"
|
|
|
|
7a) delete (or rename) any other lnk in \secure\startup folder. Should be only one file with lnk extension here.
|
|
|
|
7b) copy \usb\infiniivision.lnk to \secure\startup
|
|
|
|
8 ) reboot and good to go
|
