Hi,
Received my Rigol DS1052E from DealExtreme today (ordered 30 Dec.2010 - 14 days ago) among a bunch of other gadgets (how to resist all those useless great stuff they have overthere). Ugrading from my 35 years old/self-build/multi-repaired/5Mhz/mono-trace scope. geee - what a jump - was about time.
Just to let you guys know:
Original installed F/W: 00.02.05 SP1 (00.02.05.01.00)
* Installed UltraScope downloaded from first post (author: polossatik).
http://rapidshare.com/files/391131901/Ultrascope_for_DS1000E_Series.exe* Installed the visa462runtime.exe from first post (author: polossatik).
http://ftp.ni.com/support/softlib/visa/VISA%20Run-Time%20Engine/4.6.2/win/* Downloaded "Rigol Update" program from Shafri.
https://www.eevblog.com/forum/index.php?topic=553.msg19727#msg19727* Verified UltraScope working properly with my unmodified DS1052E - yes.
* Ran "Rigol Update" program and confirmed that it was reading my DS1052E - yes. NOTE - I (of course) DID *NOT* CLICKED THE "Upgrade Rigol" BUTTON.
* Downgrade my FW to 2.02SP2 using Killerwhale 2.05SP1_to2.02SP2 mod firmware by copying the file to the root of an USB flash drive (only file on drive) and putting it in the Rigol when turned "on" -https://www.eevblog.com/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=553.0;attach=5213
* Ran "Rigol Update" program, select "Check Rigol Model & Serial" and then "Upgrade Rigol" - wait for the beep+message.
* Turn off/on Rigol and confirm.
* Upgrade firmware to 2.04SP1 from dOss (

*Perform internal calibration.
The Ultrascope step don't seems necessary for the update but always nice to have.
All is nice so far.
Thank you.
Cheers.
