I've been away from this topc for some time but didn't realise for just how long until I caught up on all the interestimg firmware changes, my 815TG is still at 1.13:-)

I already had 1.14 and 1.15, and have now downloaded 1.18 and 1.19, but can't find 1.16 and 1.17.

If someone could supply copies of those it would be much appreciated.

Nigel, GM8PZR

The signed capture mode on version 1.19 behaves strangely, it always on MaxHold mode , even in real-time mode. Does it work correctly on 1.18? If so, can I downgrade from 1.19 to 1.18?
Anyone has similar problem?

Help. I got 3 old out of date trials on dsa832. Do any one know how I can purge em?  Stein

In the last firmware 00.01.19.00.02 for the DSA815, there is a new SCPI command with help text.


"Delete all Trial version option license key"

:SYSTem:LKEY:TDELete


The corresponding button is also available in the Maintenance Mode.

Peter

Careful with this command. It will wipe out all of the trial keys at once.  :scared:

Even when given a parameter for a specific key.

Anyone know how to recover or reapply trial keys?  :-//

I've tried through telnet and the menu, both give me "invalid key".

I even tried rolling back the date, that didn't work.

Current firmware is 1.19, the keys were issued for 1.18 so it's the new format. (no dashes).

Maybe I should try to roll back to 1.18 and try again??

The Signed Capture Mode works correctly with version 01.18. I also think that version 01.19 works wrong. With version 01.19 the LAN connection works much better.

You can press the "Preset" button directly when turning on the device to install older firmware.

Peter

I'll give it a try then. thanks for the confirmation.

All,

Regarding the DSA815, Rigol updated  it's licensing scheme a few years ago and many of you have implemented other ways to get to the SSC license.

But, AMOF, many of you still have the scope working with the old "riglol" licensing format. Most don't know this!

So, for those who still don't have that license or that are not sure if their DSA migrated to the new licensing scheme,  you can try to generate the SSC license using the old online riglol and using option AAAH.

If it doesnt work, it wont do any harm... If it does, then  :popcorn:.

Should be available here: http://int.rigol.com/Support/SoftDownload/3

Make sure to read the release notes!  May not be compatible with some older hardware revisions.

The following is some recent history of DSA705 - DSA815 Firmware changes with additional information (in bold Italics) that wasn't provided:
1. Updated Firmware 00.01.18.00.02, 2016-09-26
   -----Resolved Ultra Spectrum problem
   -----Perfected the SSC-DSA function   Not quite, see 2. below
2. Updated Firmware 00.01.19.00.02, 2018-04-11
   -----Solve the problem of LAN remote command timeout after opening 3 traces
   -----Modify the trace type for video average and power average
Included a change to the SSC-DSA 'SigCapture' mode to ensure always retaining Peak Level Storage for catching and displaying short/quick events.
   -----Some other bug(s) solved
Included solving the issue with USB Flash Drive storage of 'JPEG Screen Shots' being upside-down.
3. Updated Firmware 00.01.19.00.03, 2019-03-25
   -----Resolve SSC-DSA spelling of SigCapture
   -----Some other bug(s) solved

Comments related to the two previous Post Replies above:
 Re. Kean: All of the DSA815 Firmware updates are compatible with all hardware versions between 2011 through 2019 +.
 Re. sv1eia: If you install a newer Firmware update in your DSA705 - DSA815 you will have all of the current updates up to that point, without having to install previous updates before that point.  Although there were two individual exceptions to this that occurred between Firmware .08 and .12 that were caused by unique and individual anomalies from other unusual glitches.
 If previous DSA Firmware Updates are still required, please send me a PM request with a valid email address that will accept attachments (as PM's won't).

Hi,

Got firmware 00.01.18.00.02, tried to put the AAAH generated lic but it got rejected.
Can you please tell how did you do that or am I missing something?

<===>
Edit: It looks that my hardware version is later generation so it did not work..

Yes, have the older hardware here! It was one of the last HW / FW at that time the riglol deliberation was working.

Just forgot to deliberate the last function, tv84 mentioned and remember me to try that.

A totally free (MS PC and Mac.) 'Remote Control program' for the DSA705 - DSA875 Spectrum Analyzers.
A very nice basic control program is available from Peter Dreisiebner (EEVblog'er 'PeDre').  It is a portable program, meaning that you don't have to install it on your computer.  It can be run directly from a external USB Flash drive, etc.  The only requirement for installation is a 'Zadig' USB  driver.
The program is available at: https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=de&u=http://peter.dreisiebner.at/rigol-dsa815/index.htm (English language), or http://peter.dreisiebner.at/rigol-dsa815/index.htm (German language).
You can see sample ' Screen Shots here:  http://peter.dreisiebner.at/rigol-dsa815/screenshots.htm
I mentioned this program before (https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/spectrum-analyzer-rigol-dsa815/msg2130790/#msg2130790) in a previous post, and although it hasn't been fully completed, and may not be in this form, it is very useful, the price is right, and I feel it warrants additional exposure for new Rigol DSA users.  I'm not related or affiliated with Peter, it's just that I want to share my enthusiasm for his program.
Also see the following for more of Peter's contributions to our group:  https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=de&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fpeter.dreisiebner.at%2F&sandbox=1

The 'Signal Seamless Capture' (SSC-DSA option) mode for the Rigol DSA705, DSA710, and DSA815/TG Spectrum Analyzers provide Real Time Spectrum Measurements over a 1.5 MHz Span.

Information about the DSA815 SSC-DSA / Signal Capture (SigCapture) Mode that may not be appreciated, or understood:  Note: Currently the preferred firmware for the DSA815's SSC-DSA mode is version 00.01.19.00.03, or later.

In the Signal Capture (SSC) mode the 'Trace Type - Max Hold' is always active, and as such is mutually exclusive (per Rigol) for each of the following:

1.) 'RT Trace' is Real Time using FFT mode - RT Trace 'ON'.
This mode is intended to capture and display short transient signals that otherwise would be missed.
2.) 'MaxHold' does NOT use the Real Time FFT mode - RT Trace 'OFF'.
This mode is NOT intended to necessarily capture, or display short transient signals with Real Time FFT 'OFF'. Although it may by chance eventually get most over a extra long sample period.
3.) '2FSK' uses Real Time using FFT mode.
This mode will is intended to capture and display short transient signals that otherwise would be missed.
Note: The basic difference between '2FSK' and 'RT Trace' modes is that '2FSK' mode is configured to automatically display 2FSK Frequency and Amplitude values for up to 6 different Frequency Peaks (up to 3 FSK signal pairs).

Press 'MaxHold Rst' to reset and restart a new 'Trace type - Max Hold' for either 1.) 'RT Trace', 2.) 'MaxHold', or 3.) '2FSK'  as/if required.

Note: If you don't want Trace Type - Max Hold always active then exit SigCapture mode and use one of the normal (non SSC) modes.

Edit: Deleted redundant reference to Max Hold and the mode descriptions.
        Added definition of SSC-DSA mode from the following Post below.
Edit: The preferred firmware for this changed from '00.01.19.00.02' to '00.01.19.00.03'.

I should have included the following definition in the previous post of 'Information about the DSA815 SSC-DSA / Signal Capture (SigCapture) Mode':

The 'Signal Seamless Capture' (SSC-DSA option) mode for the Rigol DSA705, DSA710, and DSA815/TG Spectrum Analyzers provides Real Time Spectrum Measurements over 1.5 MHz.

Re. DSA815 SSC-DSA/Signal Capture (SigCapture) Mode -
DSA815 Firmware Update 00.01.19.00.03, 2019-03-25, corrected the SSC-DSA spelling of SigCapture (had been SigCpature).

Edit:  I added the referenced Firmware Update here.  Download the two files (Part 1 and 2) and then change the suffix (only) of each from '.pdf' to '.rar'.  Then run 'DSA815-TG Firmware 00.01.19.00.03 Update.part1.rar' to decompress the the two files into a folder named 'DSA815-TG Firmware 00.01.19.00.03 Update' with the Firmware update.  Note that this Firmware is also applicable to the DSA705, DSA710 as well as the DSA815.

Hello gm0otb:  You don't need to work up to the latest firmware (FW).  Just install the latest FW (00.01.19.00.03) now and be done with it.

Edit:  By the way PM's don't have a capability for sending attachments.  For this you could provide a email address for yourself that does allow attachments.  Of course the sender could use a Drop Box, if he/she has one, and provide the requester a link to it.

Hello,

I have an DSA815TG:
mainboard: 00.04
radioFPGA: 00.05
digitalboardFPGA: 00.04
firmware: 00.01.09
boot: 00.01.04

1) I still have time left for the trials
2) I would like to upgrade the SA firmware to get the 10Hz RBW but there is no other firmware available on the Rigol's website than 00.01.19.02 and after reading the Installation Instructions I realize that this latest firmware doesn't suit my FPGA and MOBO version (applicable model versions are 00.05 instead of my 00.04 for both MOBO and FPGA)

Could someone, please, message me copies of previous firmwares? (i hope they will be compatible with my mobo and digi boards)

I am not very skilled and I am not sure this is the best way to choose.
My idea is to upgrade first for the free 10Hz RBW and then if i wouldn't lose the TRIAL period go to perform the hardware MOD to keep this trial forever.

I will hightly apreciate any help,

Thank you very much in advance,

Toño,

Hello,  I have an DSA815TG:, mainboard: 00.04, radioFPGA: 00.05, digitalboardFPGA: 00.04, firmware: 00.01.09, . . . .   I will hightly apreciate any help, Thank you very much in advance,  Toño,
Hello Tono:
1. Go here to get the Rigol Keygen:
http://gotroot.ca/rigol/riglol-103d/
2. Go here to get DSA800 firmware 00.01.07: You are going to Down Grade to this.
http://gotroot.ca/rigol/DSA800_FW_00.01.07.zip
3. Go here to see what to do:
https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/rigol-dsa-815-tg-upgrade-hack/msg2789438/#msg2789438
Follow the Instructions I gave to VE7XDT for doing this:
  Down Grade your DSA800 Firmware (FW) to 00.01.07 as I instructed here.
  Do NOT install the Keygen Option License Code for !0 Hz RBW.
  Do NOT install the Keygen Option License Code for Tracking Generator.
  Install VSWR, EMI, and AMK Option License Codes.
3. After you have completed installation of the Options, verify that they are in your DSA800, and that your unit works Ok.
4. Install the latest FW available here: Don't Worry it Will Work Fine on your DSA800. Rigol's info that it won't is WRONG.  You will now have 10Hz RBW, VSWR, EMI, and AMK Official Options.
https://beyondmeasure.rigoltech.com/acton/formfd/1579/0025:d-000f/
If you have a problem downloading this FW send me a email address via a EEVblog PM (Personal Message) you have that allows attachments.
Note - EEVblog PM's DO NOT support Attachments!
If you have questions please ask me.  Ted

Edit: When you upgrade your FW to the latest use Rigol's FW Installation Procedure
(it comes with the FW when you download it). Do Not use the one I supplied for doing the FW Downgrade back to 00.01.07.
By the way even if your Options had timed out, I believe that this procedure would re-install them as Official.

Edit 11/20/2019:
I'm very sorry, I didn't notice before that you had Boot Loader .04. (Generally  with the Hardware you have, Boot Loader .02 or .03 is incorporated). Sorry you won't be able to go back to FW .07, and your only choice is to solder Pins 7 and 8 of IC  U1105 together (this should work fine).  Although you could install a secure/hidden toggle switch, but be WARNED! - Never change the switch's from OFF-ON or ON-OFF when the DSA800 is ON (turn the DSA800 'OFF' first).   The Data in U1105 can potentially get corrupted and you loose all the calibration data.
