Hello Tony: This video may be the most interesting I've seen from all who have done, it has everything, well explained with a beginning and a final, and also a lot of content and the best thing is that the grandmothers understand it, so congratulations . Greetings.

[@TonyAlbus]

Thank you Manuel! that is very nice of you.

@hardstyle905 i used coax and ternimators, the items are in the link, the pulsgenerator is from LeoBodnar.

Hello Tony, I just upgraded a friend's Hantek 5072p and I found out that if you have a PC (NTB) connected to the internet, then after connecting the USB cable you can choose to have the system automatically search for software (driver) and I see that the driver was automatically installed from the Microsoft upgrade site, where companies store current drivers. It was under WIN10(64) and it works without any problems. You don't even have to have a CD drive in your PC (like me). Thanks for your good work.

[@TonyAlbus]

Thanks! , yes getting the latest USB drivers is more an more easy.

[@TheDefpom]

I found the sampling nyqist to be too low on the Hantek scope I reviewed, it caused a lot of aliasing, put it in dot mode and check what you see above 100MHz, you can see the sample rate issue @23:00 where the signal is wobbling around.

[@TonyAlbus]

Yes we should not expect it to work as well as 2 or 3 times prizes scopes like Siglent, HP and other good brands. but for its price you get more then you pay for after this patch

[@SoddingaboutSi]

I bought a Hp54610b thats a 500 Meg scope with a sample rate of 250 MS/Sec lol! Really useful!

[@TonyAlbus]

LOL :))) Still very nice to have a 500 MHz one...

[@ZenElektronika]

Today finally I've did the same as you in the video as well, so when I connect my DSO5072p to a PC, it is recognized as a DSO200MB. I do not have a Schmitt Trigger Oscillator to test it but anyway, good job, Tony, Thank you!

[@TonyAlbus]

Welcome, glad the video helped.

[@andreasl4320]

I can confirm this hack still works. Hacked my 5102P back in 2018 and flashed the 5202P firmware afterwards. Now after watching your video just for curiosity I reverted the hack, then changed the bandwith back to 200MHz and flashed the latest 5202P firmware over it.

[@TonyAlbus]

Thanks

[@renepost1977]

So you flash with the 5202 firmware and not the 5102? interesting..

[@andreasl4320]

@@renepost1977 exactly. The 5102P hardware is identical to 5202P, so only the firmware limits it to 100MHz. Once you set the bandwith to 200MHz you can also flash the 5202 firmware. The flash display still will tell you it´s a 5102P because thats an other procedure to change it, but the 200MHz will remain unlocked.

Hello Toni, thank you for your video about the oscilloscope DSO5072P My DSO4254C ran error-free for two years; but now suddenly an error appeared. An adjustment to the zero line is not possible. It jumps immediately to an offset of minus 8 volts. Do you perhaps have an idea what can be done?

[@TonyAlbus]

Hi Hans, i did not have this model here, first and only thing thing that comes to mind is: can you do a self calibration somewhere in the menu, most scopes have that. it fixed my Siglent when it went all weird on me when i switched to much firmwares...

Hello Tony, Ik zie dat je daar ook een Keithly multimeter hebt staan, eenzelfde die ik ook heb gehad maar het display wat na een jaar of 6 niet meer leesbaar, compleet zwart. Wat ik mij afvraag heb jij daar geen last van? Overigens, ik heb dezelfde Hantek DS05072 en ben er zeer tevreden over, naast de Tektronix 2205-40, maar de Hantek is veel makkelijker in gebruik.

[@TonyAlbus]

Hi Patrick, ja ik heb meerdere keithleys, maar ik denk dat jij de 128 of 129 bedoelt. ik heb er zelf geen last van, maar 1 van mijn kijkers had het zelf gerepareerd door de display uit elkaar de halen en nieuw polarisatie folie te plaatsen en dan zilverpapier op de achterkabd. ik heb er zelf geen ervaring mee Ja de Hantek is best goed ding. Echter ik had de Siglent al, en die is net ff een klasse beter, atthans ik vindt het erg fijn werken. is wel een andere prijs natuurlijk.

I'm a little confused about the backup listing, where there are only 4 system partitions, but these new Hantek DSO5072P have 8 system partitions. Somewhere in that thread, this is solved by another xxx.up file and writing an 8x partition to the backup. The above backup would probably not be enough to restore a faulty oscilloscope system.

Hello Tony, Very nice presentation, Comparison and Upgrading. I would like to your opinion : weather Sigilent is better than Hantek ? My area of work : SMPS , Microcontrollers (Arduino, ESP32, PIC, STM32 ) , RF. Which scope is best suitable for the work. Some suggest I need a 4 channel scope. Is it absolute must ? I am from India.

[@ivandrimal5783]

Hi Toni, how is it going with the Hantek 5072P hack. Does your the simple guide to extend the band up to 200MHz really apply? Did you manage to make a backup of the system, i.e. 8 files, or if only 4 files are stored, would it be possible to restore the system? Have you tried reading 200MHz with a good probe? And if the band extension was successful and works, does it only have a 3dB drop at 200MHz? Sorry for the many questions, but I could use the upgrade to 200MHz just now. Thank you very much for your willingness and for the very nice videos. Good luck.

[@TonyAlbus]

Hi Ivan, The scope i have already sold, but it was working good, in the video description you find files also for the 8 partition backup. i have never tried to restore it, it was not needed, it just worked.

Hi, i still have the DSO2D10 that i need to hack to 2D15 .. looks cool with Generator in side... still need to read more, but i have the scope now.

[@Nelson484]

What kind of probe do you use? Your waveform looks very nice. I have a 200Mhz scope with a stock probe but even a 16Mhz square wave looks much worse with lots of rough edges.

[@TonyAlbus]

I think i was using coax with a 50 Ohm inline-terminator, so you i minimize reflections in the cables.

[@ТимурГилемханов-ш4х]

Hello! What is better to buy a digital oscilloscope Hantek DSO2D15 or Hantek DSO5102p?

[@TonyAlbus]

had both, the 5000 seems less a toy

[@OLDSCHOOLNEVERDIES]

Bought the DSO2D15 model, later I discovered it has Trigger Level problems with signals below 300 mVpp. I did all the firmware updates, still the traces run on the display, no way to stop them. Things get worse if you keep the oscilloscope on for more than ten minutes. Then, if you select a 50 mVpp sine wave with the internal signal generator, the image is strongly distorted. I contacted Hantek several times, they wanted a video of mine showing the issue. Sent the video twice in a month, then Hantek disappeared. I re-sent a final e-mail today, I am waiting for a sign of life from them. At this moment no help at all, their after sale sucks. I did a BIG mistake, I should have bought a Tektronix instead but you only learn these things later...

[@TonyAlbus]

Sorry the hear that, did you contact your seller directly? he should deal with this, not you directly. i have the feeling too that de DSO2D15 is less good then the DSO5072P serie, i have then both. But my Siglent SDS1202X-E beats both of them easely .. no need to go to Tektronix although they are one of the best for sure if you can affort. Hope your seller can help you.

[@OLDSCHOOLNEVERDIES]

@@TonyAlbus Thanks for your prompt reply. Yes I contacted Banggood and they offered me a refund of $ 100, they don't take the scope back because it's been 6 months since the purchase date. What do I do with a $ 100 refund if the DSO5072P is handicapped for my measurements? I have noticed only recently the Triggel level problem, unfortunately when their warranty has expired. I will have used the oscilloscope three times, max four, I keep it at home as a back up instrument as I have two loyal CRTs by National and Tektronix. The Hantek as an after sales company is doing very bad to me, unprofessional. I have twice sent the video showing the defect, to date there has been a useless, non-constructive exchange of e-mails. Given my experience, which is not positive, I do not recommend purchasing Hantek products.
