Hi All,
Does anyone know if the secure calibration passsword has been found? If so, would anyone mind sharing? I looked through the thread and didn't see anything.

Thank you

As per the calibration manual (see attachment) it should be "2010". Not sure if that's still valid for the current F/W Rev.

@TurboTom
Thank you sir. Ugh. :palm: It was right in front of my face. I looked further back in the cal manual and didn't any specific reference other than referencing the "Secure Code." I assumed it wasn't public at that point. 

Thanks again

I have a DG4062 that I 'upgraded' to a DG4202 back in Aug 2014 and made no changes since, it reports the following under system info...

Device Model: DG4202
Serial Number: DG4Exxxxxxxxxx
Software Vn: 00.01.07
FPGA Vn: 00.01.08
Hard Vn: 01.03
KeyBrd Vn: 05.01

Anyway, I tried to use the frequency counter (32,768 Hz signal) yesterday and it was useless, locked up even. That made me revisit this thread. 

I thought I'd try to downgrade from DG4202 to DG4162 and then apply a software version upgrade. I was able to run the cengen code in the MinGW environment (I couldn't figure out the online generator) and generate a new .GEL file but when I tried to apply that .GEL file to my DG4000, it seemed to make no difference and still reported the above data including DG4202.

Today I bricked it  :-BROKE here's what I did...
- Applied the Rigol bootloader update, it took maybe a minute and rebooted to the standard screen but I did not check system info that it was actually at bootloadler vn06.
- Tried to load official vn 1.12, it didn't take (no LEDs lit under Waveform section) and now it won't boot at all - I get a blank screen
- Tried to reload the 06 bootloader but I'm told that may have been a mistake
- Tried to load the 08 firmware (in case the bootloader was still at 05), nothing

Just to check, when I power up, as soon as the lights flash I press [Help] and then insert the USB drive, the [Utility] LED flashes and so does the USB access LED (on the drive itself) - then it just sits there with [Mod],[Utility], and [Store] LEDs lit.  Am I doing something wrong? I have tried 2 different USB drives and I'm almost certain they are good with the Rigols.

Any ideas?
[EDIT] It's fixed, I used a different (older) USB drive, that is the problem 99.9999999999999999999% of the time with these updates in my experience.  So the original drives must have allowed the bootloader to update but then, the same drive, wouldn't do the firmware update!  It kept the Model at DG4202...

Device Model: DG4202
Serial Number: DG4Exxxxxxxxxx
Software Vn: 00.01.12
FPGA Vn: 00.01.11
Hard Vn: 01.03
KeyBrd Vn: 06.01

Bold stuff is what's changed.
