I have this scope and have been storing screenshots to my USB drive. However, the files that the Rigol creates has a date that is totally incorrect, by about 10 years. I have been looking for ways to correct a date setting in the scope but no luck. It seems that its TOD clock needs to be updated.

Has anyone else found a fix?
Thx

 

Probing and setting a battery operated date module could lead to smoke.
Call Rigol support should have that information. DSO with no circuit.
AAC did'nt know before, EE blog might.

I didn't see anything in the DS1000Z User Manual, so I asked Copilot and it returned the following (Keep in mind, this is AI-generated using an LLM, so it may bear no resemblance to reality. Let us know one way or the other if it was close).:


To set the date on a Rigol DS1202Z-E oscilloscope, follow these steps:

1. Power on the Oscilloscope: Ensure your oscilloscope is turned on and fully booted.
2. Access the Utility Menu: Press the Utility button on the front panel.
3. Navigate to System Settings: Use the navigation buttons to find the System option in the menu.
4. Select Date and Time: Within the System settings, look for the Date and Time option.
5. Set the Date: Use the navigation buttons to adjust the date settings. You can usually set the year, month, and day.
6. Confirm Changes: Once you've set the correct date, confirm the changes and exit the menu.

If you need more detailed instructions, you can refer to the user manual for the Rigol DS1202Z-E.

Is there anything else you'd like to know about using your oscilloscope?

Surely that's 11 types of people?

I have tried that but under System, there is no Date and Time sub-menu.

Doesn't surprise me -- another hallucination from an LLM.

Have you contacted Rigol? I think they have an online support page where you can ask questions.
