I also prefer using a proper scope with a display, knobs, and buttons. Space 
on my workbench is at a premium. The only computers I have near my bench are 
a Pi 3 and a Pi Zero W. The monitor sits on a nearby shelf that.

I just checked and if you do have a nearby computer and you connect it to 
the Rigol you can set the date and time using SCPI commands.

BTW, I checked the other day and the web site for getting the keys to enable 
features in the Rigol is still up. Using it would probably void the 
warranty. Your best bet is to get the scope around Black Friday or Cyber 
Monday when the keys for all the features are provided by the seller.
