Here is listed that the latest firmware is 00.01.12:

Has someone installed it? Have you any link to load these firmwares?

Looks like version 01.12 just came out!  I haven't tried it yet.

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.

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 it ;D

Sparky 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.

I got it.
So it is a hacked 160MHz with 1.09 -> 1.11 firmware without losing hack, right?
If 200MHz hack with 1.09 -> 1.11 firmware probably losing all the hack
Correct me if it is wrong

Thanks for the links!

OK... I still get a try to hack my new arrived DG4062 with software and FPGA  00.01.11 but it popup a message "please select a valid file type" when I press the read button with the .CEN file......

What I can do is learn how to operate the machine now, and wait for folks to hack the new version :)
