Yes, you can hack the Rigol not only to a higher base model, but
also unlock protocol analyzers, extra trigger modes etc, probably
nothing an analog synth kit builder desperately needs, though.<br>

DS1054Z and hack the firware making it identical to mine, since

<div>I now have the DSO Shell which I honestly think suits 90%
of synth DIY needs. Used to have the DSO 128 kit which was ok
too.<br>

<div>I have had a slew of cheap DMMs, just waiting to have the
cash to buy a better one. Timmy Churches of O&C fame has
recommended I buy this one: <br>

<div>Other than that I use a cable I made with some alligator
clips on one end and a 1/4šplug on the other, which I stick
into a fender pocket battery powered Bassman amp just to
hear signals when troubleshooting.<br>
<br>
That's it for test equipment here....</div>

Tek 2430A<br>

ABI Chipmaster for testing logic ICs (not terribly
comprehensive)<br>
<br>
Peak Electronics DCA75 for testing discrete components (nice
tool)<br>

Tek 7904 comprehensive system consisting of these modules:<br>
2x 7A26 vertical amplifiers<br>
7B53A horizontal amplifier<br>
7B92 horizontal amplifier<br>
7D15 universal counter<br>
7D01 logic analyzer w/ DF1 formatter<br>
7L5 frequency analyzer<br>
<br>
One of the power features of this system is I can configure
the logic<br>
analyzer to trigger on a microprocessor event, and then use
THAT to<br>
trigger the analog scope system to capture an aperiodic
signal. Saved<br>
my butt a few times...<br>
<br>
Tek TM515 portable system consisting of:<br>
DC503 universal counter<br>
FG502 function generator<br>
SC503 storage analog scope<br>
DM501A DMM<br>
<br>
I also have a Tek FG504 function generator, but it won't
plug into the<br>
TM515 chassis (not compatible).<br>
