100x probe support

Just got my Red Pitaya and found it lacks 100x probe support. I tried to hack it in; I thought I got it right but it caused a communication failure whenever the Oscilloscope app was launched.

Is is possible to hack this feature in?

To avoid going off topic, some preemptive answers:
Connecting such an affordable device to a differential probe that costs as much or more than it does seems wrong. Also a 100x probe is fine for my project needs. :)

Hi,
You can implement 100x option in C part of code.
If you are using 100 osc probe then your input range is on LV jumper settings +- 100V.
What you need is to multiply acquired signal times 100.
If you have differential probe you can use it also.
