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.

Well, it was fun while it lasted. I should learn to READ THE EEVBLOG FORUM before I go and do something stupid like upgrade the firmware on my hacked DG4062. :palm: Well at least it fixed the problem I was having where it would stop responding to SCPI commands over LXI when in counter mode. Think I'd rather have 200Mhz (or 160Mhz if I would have read the forum first) though.
I guess I'll keep my fingers crossed that someone figures out how to undo the damage I just did. Won't hold my breath though. |O

Hi all,
Just got my DG4062 today(16/6/2015) and the software and FPGA version is 00.01.11
Hard version 01.03
Keyboard version 06.02

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?

Hi Sparky,
where can I get the "160MHz model patch"? I would like to try in my new arrived one, thanks! :)
