I had a couple of spontaneous reboots when I had a DS1054Z so perhaps it’s semi normal crashing (crappy software triggering the WDT). If it’s doing it constantly though I’d be suspicious.

Weird that nobody else's DS1054Z is rebooting from that exact same software, don't you think?
1. Lets propose 100% of devices crash occasionally.
2. 10% of people report that, which is a realistic figure.

This thread alone has 4500 posts. How many of them report on spontaneous crashes of the DS1000Z?
If you have a problem with 20% of your product base crashing, then that rounds down to very little data other than usually one pissed off and fuming customer who will tear you a new asshole the moment you say "weird that nobody else's DS1054Z is rebooting from that exact same software, don't you think?

the traces seems thicker to me, and brighter, much brighter. It's a sunny summer day outside but still had to dial down the intensity.
Anybody else seeing thicker and brighter traces with the latest firmware?
Not sure yet, but I'll look for some older screen captures from former projects, redo the same settings and capture the same waveforms again, to compare the old and new captures on the PC. Probably not gonna do this today, but if I'll do it sometimes in the weekend, I'll post here the results, either the same or not the same.
So far I've tested the jitter/phase noise (because the change log is mentioning something about "trigger problem fix").
- jitter/phase noise seems about the same, maybe smaller than I measured a couple of years ago
- I see some strange trace wiggling on the smallest time base and strong clean signal, when I synchronize from the signal generator
I don't recall seeing that before. Again, need to find some old screen captures made in similar conditions for a fair comparison. Not sure if I have any, but the wiggling around the trigger point goes away when the sampling rate goes to 1GSa/s (by disabling all channels except the first)
By wiggling I mean the trace thickens and widens before and after the trigger point, in an X shape. Need to measure more careful and find some older captures before calling that a bug. Will add some screen captures later.
I'm not sure if the upgrade was justified for me, because it was working just fine before the upgrade, but now I'm not so sure and need to spend time for extra checking to decide if it's just an illusion or it really is worst than before.
...I noticed a new Rigol logo (blue) on the DS1054Z in De-Os his post...
It won't allow me to reinstall an older firmware, is there a way to do it?
