Unfortunately when I checked the data saved on a USB stick (CSV format) it was 8 bit quantized even when it had been taken in HiRes mode. I don't know about data transfered directly to the PC via USB or Ethernet (say using Marmad's program).
Unfortunately, I believe the HighRes mode is only used to generate the display
from the sample memory - I don't think it's ever actually saved anywhere as 12-bit. Originally, because the SCPI command set has a special command to transfer samples in WORD format, I thought that it would be possible to get the 12-bit data out of the DSO. But I did some testing transferring the sample memory in both Normal and HighRes modes (as BYTE and WORD) - and it was exactly the same.
BTW, I did pass on to Rigol (via Drieg) that it would be nice to use the WORD command in order to get the 12-bit data out of the DSO.
Hi
I think one has to do the hires in PC. Perhaps one can find a better algorithm as boxcar.
In PC you have more processing power and more time.
Hires is a kind of low-pass filter. Perhaps I have soon time to introduce me in digital filter.

Ha, ha
When I just sent my DS2000 a SCPI command to make the DSO enter Logic Analyzer (LA) mode, it responded with the following message:

Sorry, I misunderstood you. Yes you can post process via a boxcar averaging to get more resolution; I've done it successfully.

Yes, i have tried also lots of AWG variables, you can write to and read back...
fun, but nothing you can use for something....
Hang ups...
I had so far with the new software two hang ups, when i used the horizontal trigger
knob. To scroll left and right on 5 nSec timebase.
Could not reproduce it yet, turn it off and on again, everything was oke again.
Anyone who has same ...??
It's quite a few while ago that I had a test device of the Rigol, so I'm not up to date about the latest firmware. Is there a new firmware by the time available?

Yes!! I had EXACTLY the same thing - two hangups requiring reboot while using horizontal trigger knob at 5ns timebase - and I also couldn't repeat it. How strange! Also, the second time it hung, the frequency counter was running - and everything froze (all buttons - waveform display) EXCEPT the frequency counter, which continued to function normally.
Rigol DS2000 micro-bug:
1) If you scroll through Type on the Trigger Menu, you will see that three triggers (Pattern, Delay, Duration) cause the sample frequency to be cut in half (like turning on a second channel). This - by itself - may
not be a bug - since those triggers
can use a second channel as source (although they don't have to), so perhaps Rigol prepares the sample speed for two-channels. Anyway, select one of these triggers (e.g. in the images, I selected Pattern).
2) Go to Acquire Menu and select MemDepth -> 7kPoints.
3) Go back to Trigger Menu and select Type -> Edge.
4) Go back to Acquire Menu and select MemDepth -> an Easter Egg appears on the menu.
5) Select the Egg.
I think you need to be a button sniper or something to be able to select the *.trc

Really? You couldn't select it? I could, and it played the attached message. I just assumed it had something to do with Rigol or China's manufacturing industry and Western countries, etc.

No marmad, I couldn't select it. I did get the *.trc show up however once the curser approached it, it would disappear
Doesn't work on my DS2072 either (original FW). It does have an anomaly: where your's shows "*.trc" I get an up arrow, but it changes back into "14MPts" by itself before I can click it. After trying multiple times, with the scope in multiple states, it doesn't even do that anymore.
I don't understand what you mean by playing the mp3. I didn't realize it even had a speaker??

Play it and you'll understand.
It's Imperial March from Star Wars.
I don't know what's funny with that.
Probably empire strikes back symbolic stuff about future market domination. They also use Chinese warlords figures on online marketing.
Play it and you'll understand.
What FW are you using marmad?
I'm on v.01.00.00.03 and whilst I can get the *.trc to show up, selecting it is not possible as it just disappears once the cursor approaches it.
Yes, *.trc is there but it disappears, if I rotate the multipurpose knob.
Well, Korean cars were not good in 1980s. But today things changed. This Hyundai is quite popular in Czech Republic. And they even launched a car factory in Czech Republic.

'*.trc' is not an 'Easter Egg'-like symbol.
It's not selectable.
The DSO can't play mp3 files.
Rigol wouldn't use well-known, copyrighted music.
Joke, guys - joke. Sheesh.... although I have to say, I had a good laugh yesterday thinking of some of you frantically trying to select the unselectable.

Well, just comparing DS2000 to DSOX2000, Rigol is already a top-brand - since the DS2000 is a much better DSO.

Geez... And to think I trusted you. You little tinker

Well, OK.
If you need a long memory + segmented memory with about 65000 frames or so, you must choose Rigol. And 0,5mV/div might be also useful.
DS2000-S will be definitely better (hardware) than DSOX2000. But when will it appear at
