Chinese handheld scopemeter, 2 inputs 60MHz & DMM 6000 pts

Bought on this French e-shop (see also their blog)

Internal data:

• Module DSO1060
• Serial No. DSO0000855
• Firmware Version: 1.68
• Hardware version: 5.2.34.0.0

Other devices of the same serie: DSO1200, DSO1600, DSO1600H

USB memory stick

The device is USB-host capable but I had many troubles to get him accessing properly a memory stick.
On a 6Gb harddrive it hung when I tried to write a file, and on a 256Mb flash it was always claiming "Unknown Filesystem".
I finally managed to get it working by reformatting the 256Mb flash as FAT32 (FAT16 failed, or was it FAT12?)

Firmware upgrade

Once you have a working USB stick with FAT32 you can try upgrading the firmware.
I found the firmware version 1.70 here, follow simply the included pdf (the Chinese version is here).
If there is a newer version it should come via the same link I guess...

Note that there are also instructions in French here which confirm you need a FAT32 filesystem.

Issues

A known issue is in continuity test mode, it's rather slow to beep, which makes it much less usable than a cheap continuity tester...
Upgrade to v1.70 didn't improve the situation

Another issue: DON'T use both USB ports simultaneously (PC connection & flash memory), see notes in French here

OpenHantek STATUS: FAIL

Get it here as well as dsoextractfw

$ tar xjf openhantek-0.1.0.tar.bz2
$ cd OpenHantek
# aptitude install libqt4-dev libfftw3-dev
$ qmake
$ make
# make install

$ tar xjf dsoextractfw-0.6.0.tar.bz2
$ cd dsoextractfw
# aptitude install libbfd-dev   #(this actually installs binutils-dev)
$ ./configure
$ make

Get the DSO1060.sys from the windows drivers CD

Mmm visibly it doesn't know how to extract firmware from the 1060 model :-(

I also tried from SVN:

git svn clone https://openhantek.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/openhantek/trunk
sudo aptitude install  libusb-1.0-0-dev

But that one segfaults most of the time & dsoextractfw code is not present

kernel: [784901.198320] openhantek[12245]: segfault at 21 ip 0000000000431de7 sp 00007fff14741ba0 error 4 in openhantek[400000+64000]

When connecting the scopemeter via USB it gives: idVendor=4348, idProduct=5537, Product: DSO10, Manufacturer: Hantek

HantekDSO STATUS: FAIL

Get it here

$ tar xzf HantekDSO-0.5.3.tar.gz
$ cd HantekDSO
# aptitude install kdelibs-dev automake1.10
$ ./configure
$ make

dsoextractfw seems to be more or less the same as for OpenHantek, same models supported

Oscope2100 STATUS: FAIL

It relies on HantekDSO dsoextractfw and is only for model DSO2100
