I keep one USB drive apart for the DG4000 with a label "DG4000 UPGRADE" on it. I think I tried close to 10 different sticks before I found one that worked.

So... how is you counter now? And your square wave?

I've tried the counter and it seems 'better' 1) it hasn't crashed yet 2) it actually counts.  I looked at some 'square' waves which were like slightly squared sine waves by the time I got up to 25 MHz, at 50 MHz they were sine waves.  I'll come up with pictures if you want.

I'm on version 1.12 which was the highest offered to by by Rigol's website, is 13 or 14 better?

Has anyone here done an automated calibration app for the DG4000?

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.

Mine was a DG4102, now upgraded to DG4202.  I've used the frequency counter before and after the upgrade, and it worked.  The only thing is on speed "Normal" might miss some counts and ruin the statistics (looks like it would be imprecise).  If this happens, change the statistics speed from Normal to Full.
Counter -> Down Arrow -> Statist Set -> Speed Full

Also, not all the displayed digits are measured, some are fake/computed.  The resolution is of only 7 digits/s, if there are more, those are not measured, the extra resolution is the results of arithmetic calculations.

Used the same USB drive that worked before and all went smoothly.
