I started another thread in the Test Equipment forum. In summary, my advice is:
Do not install the beta firmware!
It can cause your keyboard to stop working or act as if keys are being pressed randomly.
Does anybody have access to the orginal firmware for the DS1054Z, that is,
the version prior to the beta?
I would like to try to use this to fix the keyboard/knob zero response problem if possible.

My keys do that occasionally, but it isn't random for me. It just waits a minute or two and then the presses that were queued up are executed at once.
I'm curious what their fix was. This seems like a bug in the GUI or Linux side (this thing runs Linux right??) and unrelated to the 5 us bug.
I wouldn't say don't install it, just be "patient" with your knob twists. The scope is off getting a cup of coffee.

This is why I asked this question to Chris @ Rigol right after the beta firmware post. I would not install any beta software unless we could go back to the working firmware. Hopefully they will have this fixed soon as they promised but until then I think the original latest working firmware should be posted for download so the ones who tested can get back to where they were.
I think they should open all or most of the firmware and let the community fix it and improve it, they would sell many more units and mostly get rid of software support, supporting only an official simple version which noone would use anyway. I would pay more for such an "open" unit.
sawmilkd,
Does yours self calibrate ?

#2: Perceived random button press issue. This is a variant of #1. I have seen this as well. As soon as I adjust anything on the scope after power up, it acts as though I am pressing buttons randomly in rapid succession. My scope usually ends up on the help display, and then no longer responds to input. Power cycling resolves the issue.
So the "fix" worked for some, did not work for others and made it worse for the rest of people.
Seems the possible hardware issue may not be off the table yet. I have my guess why this fix did not work but I need MarkL to please do couple tests for me next week when he returns from holidays.

Actually I think it worked for most with a flawed keyboard. I think two did not fix or moved the 5us jitter issue. I did not even try it as they have not posted the current working firmware for restoring back. I make it a habit of not ever updating anything unless it is possible to go back or guaranteed to be a positive upgrade.
right now, the DSO is unusable thanks to the increased jitter.

Has anyone tried downgrading?

Do you mean specifically from this beta version - or the thousands of times people have been up and downgrading on the Rigol UltraVision scopes in general?
I just got my scope (DS2072) back from Rigol and it has a new firmware: 00.03.02.SP3Well that sure looks like 2 bugs are fixed on a DS2000
you just Beta Tested for Rigol!
Are there any problems with Buttons?, Startup??
Can you look at the full FW version number (F7-F6-F7-Util) , format '00.03.??.??.??'
Pix of my DS2072 today
Full FW version number is: 00.03.02.03.00
HW version: 1.0.2.0.2I'm Envious, why did you get the Beta Verson first.
Well, you've seen my other thread, so you know I've been doing a lot of testing for them lately
Software version: 00.03.02.03.00
Hardware version: 1.0.2.0.2
FPGA Version:
SPU: 04.01.02
WPU: 01.01.03
CCU: 12.29.00
MCU: 00.05
