It means, the scope recognizes the GEL file's version info. Of course, you have the latest and it is why you see that message. All newly manufactured scopes are protected against a firmware downgrade, it is why you see nothing (as hacking GEL files is version 2.0).

It is time to JTAG dump ...

Hi all:

Brand new at scopes, just received my DS2072A-S.  I'm very interested in this upgrade but a bit scared.  My unit arrived with Firmware 00.02.01.00.03 installed, and from this thread I get the feeling I should be glad it does not have the newer version.  I have a few questions.

1. Since mine is the -S version, does this present any difficulties?  I imagine the firmware is the same but I'd like to know if anyone has done this with the -S version successfully.

2. I am running on an iMac 27" system.  I do have Parallels installed and can run Windows 8.  Any reason this won't work?  I do have an old PC I could resort to, but haven't fired it up in about a year.

3. Is there anything illegal about this?  I don't recall approving any user licenses when I started up my scope, but I'm curious about the legalities.

Thanks for any encouragement you all can offer.


Edited to add:

OK, I got brave and gave it a try...  everything seemed to work fine, up to the point where you plug the scope into the computer.  The scope does not show up on the select screen.  And yes, I did make sure USB Devices is set to "Computer" on the scope's Utility menu.

I feel like I am so close, yet so far...  Any ideas, anyone?


Second update:  I fired up my old PC and tried the update there.  Again, the update utility does not see the scope when I plug it in.  Please help!

RLSprouse:
BTO, in his "Short Post" suggested plugging the scope into the computer using the FRONT USB port on the scope...  but, is that possible?  It is a USB - A port, and all the USB cables I have are USB - A to USB - B.  Can I get an A-A USB cable, and will that work?

You can connect either through the USB port on the back of the scope or via the Ethernet port connected to a network.

Did you install the National Instruments IVI/VISA driver?
Are you able to see the scope with the Rigol Ultra Sigma utility?
