Is there a known software code that can restore my scope to its configuration before I applied the 'DSER' upgrade?
Or is UltraSigma the only way to do it?

You don't have to use UltraSigma, you can use any method that will send SCPI commands to the scope. I use telnet over the LAN connection. Several people have developed and posted software that will talk to the scope and send the SCPI commands, using USB or LAN. Check back in the thread.
But for me, just sending commands, telnet over the LAN connection is the easiest way.
You need to send:
:SYSTem:OPTion:UNINSTall
just exactly as written there, caps and lowercase and colons. This will reset the Options and bandwidth back to stock, but if you've used the scope more than 30 hours, the Trial Options will still be timed out.
lower case characters are optional so partial names will work:
UNIN
UNINS
UNINST
UNINSTA
UNINSTAL
UNINSTALL
should all do the same thing.
Perhaps those abbreviations "should" all work the same, but perhaps they don't actually. Have you actually tested them?
Several people have reported that using the abbreviations doesn't work for them. Of course they may be making typing mistakes...
I've made a text file with the commands that I use most often (the full commands, upper and lower case as given in the manual) and when I want to send a command to the scope I just copy-paste from the text file into the telnet or other program that sends the command to the scope. That way I know I'm not making mistakes, and it always works for me.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled the options at least a dozen times, while testing for various bugs, and haven't had a failure yet, using the full text as I indicated in my post above. YMMV of course.

I always thought that the SCPI commands had to be completely spelled out or abbreviated to the capitol letters.
So only
:SYSTem:OPTion:UNINSTall and
:SYST:OPT:UNINST are acceptable.
I have just noticed in the beginners section by IE 4 under oscilloscope heading that Rigol have released a new F/W for the DS1054 etc. see below:
Rigol just made an announcement about improving the FFT on the MSO/DSO1000Z series scopes
"With the latest firmware for the MSO/DS1000Z Series (00.04.03 SP2) we have improved our FFT functionality.
From now on your can choose the whether you want to have FFT calculation on display point or if you want to have done the FFT calculation on 16k points"
Does anyone have further information, release note, or know where it can be downloaded from?
John
Thanks for the response however the new f/w referred to stated that it was 00.04.03 SP2. The previous f/w update was 00.04.03 SP1 from last month. It may of course be a mistake and there is no later f/w update this month!
John
Oh, an SP2!! It seems unlikely, but I'd like to know more too if there is one. Especially as a further release that soon would suggest that they messed something up badly in 04.03 SP1.

It would be really nice if they improved the serial decode such that it worked on more than the screen memory. I can dream...

After reading the entire internet (twice) in my lunch break, I've decided it must be a typo. For a start the FFT improvement happened in 04.03 SP1 (I tested it last night on my scope). One month between releases just sounds too quick too and I can't find any other mention of 04.03 SP2 on the interwebs.

This document (found by another member here) seems to be Rigol's definitive list of versions:

Yes, that's right, and the one at the top of the list has a date of 26 May 2015 (inside the zipfile), and when installed to the scope, the System Info screen calls it "00.04.03.SP1" .
This is what you get from the link that McBryce posted up above.
ya, but's not the latest one form 2015-06-16 / 00.04.03.01.05
00.04.03.SP1 seems to be this one 00.04.03.SP1 ( 00.04.03.00.01 Date 2015-05-05 )
I installed the version from
here which is 00.04.03.01.05 dated 2015-05-26. The System Info page on the scope says 00.04.03.SP1 afterwards. The SPx has always corresponded to the 4th digit (i.e. 01). If the 4th digit is zero, the scope doesn't display SP0.

Ak, ok thank u. Works fine.

Yes, it is, as you have now evidently found out.
00.04.03.SP1 seems to be this one 00.04.03.SP1 ( 00.04.03.00.01 Date 2015-05-05 )
No, it's not.
The links in McBryce's post and in MarkF's post wind up at the same zipfile.
Maybe already answered, but is 00.04.03.SP1 hackable?
They added the digital filter back into the math function.
Super !
Regards, Dana.
Can someone clear up something for me. Why does the Rigol DS1054Z not allow measurements on its
math waveform ? Its just another waveform in memory.
For example I was trying to verify the filter function 3 db point after filtering a channel with LPF and
cannot make any measurements, cursor, or left hand column standard measurements, like Pk-Pk
on the math waveform, etc..
I tried cursor measurement, it only works on the 4 primary channels. You can do a pk-pk thru a contortion
of setting source channel to same scaling as math channel, then move the cursors around. But what you really
are doing is measuring the source channel screen plot.
Another suggestion for Left hand standard measurements, a db Pk-Pk, Vavg, Vrms measurement referenced to 1 V.
Regards, Dana.
I have a DS2000 so it might be different:
If you are referring to cursors then in the menu under source it should display math.
If you are referring to the menu on the left after pressing the upper left menu button, if you press the math button it changes to the match channel.
Edit: If you are referring to the measure button, then there is a source that can be changed to math.
But I don't know how different the DS1000 series are on that aspect.
Edit: manual for your scope, look at chapter 6:
http://www.tequipment.net/assets/1/26/MSO1000Z_DS1000Z_UserGuide.pdfEven on the display all measurements picture in page 138 (6-28) it shows all 4 channels plus the math channel
