Did you use exactly same cable lenght (and not only physical lenght but with around same travel time lenght because it matter. And images looks like there is signal travel time differencies between cables - and impedance mismatches)?@rf-loop, Yes the DG4000 generator was set to 50ohm output and there was a 50 ohm feed-thru termination on the DS2000.

Instead of J-Tagging the bootloader and/or firmware, would it be possible to just put the parameters for extending the frequency range in the correct spot in memory?
maybe anoter option:
dump the flash, do manually what the cen-file used to do, and then uplaod the changed flash?
Re. DG4000 and the Hack for Rigol's 'unreleased' DG4202 (200MHZ) version:
As of DG4000 Firmware version 00.01.09.00 the DG4000 AWG is no longer compatible with the DG4202 (200MHz), a model version that had never been released by Rigol for the DG4000.
Therefore if you upgrade to FW i00.01.09.00 or 00.01.10.00 you will loose your previously Hacked in DG4202 (200MHz), and your unit will in general be set back to DG4062 (60MHz). And currently there is no way back. It's gone!
If on the other hand you installed a valid Hack, such as DG4162 (160MHz), or less, prior to installing FW 00.0.09, then your unit will retain DG4162 (160MHz), etc, after you upgrade the FW to 00.01.09.00 and/or 00.01.10.00.
A new firmware has been released for DG4000 series last month. It is v00.01.11.00.00 (and contains bootloader 00.06, which is the same as 01.10 DSP firmware).
Hi folks,
A new firmware has been released for DG4000 series last month. It is v00.01.11.00.00 (and contains bootloader 00.06, which is the same as 01.10 DSP firmware).
I have installed it on my DG4062 with "160MHz model patch" and all is well The boot time seems a little longer than previous, and --- if I'm recalling things correctly --- the LED indication at boot is a little different (the waveform button LEDs seem to light up in sequence, though quickly). I'm not sure what is new, fixed or broken in this release so...upgrade at your own risk
Cheers,
Sparky

Has someone installed it? Have you any link to load these firmwares?
Re: Where can I get the "160MHz model patch"? I would like to try in my new arrived one, thanks!
Regretfully I don't think you will be able to install the 160MHz BW software modification on units with the newer firmware. See -> https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/dg4000-a-firmware-investigation/msg581608/#msg581608 (Reply #270). But please don't be discouraged, as this is still an awesome Function / Arbitrary Waveform Generator. And (possibly) someone may figure out how to perform this software fix in the future.

And (possibly) someone may figure out how to perform this software fix in the future.Since I saw Sparky still can install the upgrade with v00.01.11.00.00 firmware. I think the new unit still have a chance to get a try.
But I am not sure what happens if it is failed to upgrade 160MHz.(maybe brick my DG4062?)
I read through the post and found the cengen.c but unfortunately I only have WIN PC. The online compiler seems doesn't work (can compile and execute but show no directly to save the .cen file)
I have to make more time to study on itSparky had 160MHz installed prior to Firmware 00.01.09. If you have firmware 00.01.09 or later it is too late for you to get 160MHz. Please read my DG4000 Post #270 again.
Free DG4062, DG4102, DG4162, DG4202 and a serial# of your choice ...

I'm unlucky ... I have a DG4102 with a serial number starting with DG4B1. cybernet's program requires DG4D1..
Guess I have to take the JTAG route.. Anyway, thanks for your work!!
change the strcmp in the code ....
Thanks!! It worked perfect!
By the way, I have version 01.02. I will upgrade to 01.07 now.
