DS2000A Upgrade Utility
bigone5500:
Is there going to be a way for the utility to work on 03 versions of the scope?

The DS2000A Upgrade Utility won't work on firmware 00.03, because it tries to downgrade it to 00.02 and the firmware doesn't allow downgrades. The utility is still useful as a SCPI console, if started in quick configuration mode (make sure it is connected to your scope). Here's how to do the upgrade in three simple steps:
* Make a memory dump with the SCPI command :SYST:UTIL:READ? 1,33554432
Make sure the input buffer is large enough to hold the reply. Set it to something like 100M to be on the safe side and note that the command takes a while to complete. At the end you will be asked to provide a file name for the memory dump, let's say dump.bin
* Use the program rigup (http://gotroot.ca/rigol/) to extract the correct license keys for the various upgrade options from your memory dump. When using one of these keys, remember to discard the dashes. Here's an example:
>rigup ds2072a dump.bin
rigup ds2072a - Version 0.4
Serial number: DS2DXXXXXXXXX
NSEH: Y79WUYX-LMN4SH4-4HSHLFE-F4GF6SM All options, no bandwidth upgrade
NSER: 7WS6DU3-XRFJ863-CYVJHUQ-XGN8J5M All options, bandwidth 100 MHz
NSEQ: 4788KWX-WWYZX42-SPSM4TY-ZH9YLSM All options, bandwidth 200 MHz
NS8H: LXX46YY-VB2A9KR-878KD4R-4H6JKSM All options, bandwidth 300 MHz
* Use the SCPI command :SYSTem:OPTion:INSTall option_key, e.g. for option NS8H:
:SYSTem:OPTion:INSTall LXX46YYVB2A9KR878KD4R4H6JKSM
That's all.

I have done the SCPI thing and received a reply from the interface. How do I get rigup to work with the results?

If your USB stick has an activity LED that doesn't show an awful lot when you first plug it in, just try unplugging it and putting it back in.
I use an SD card in an adapter to update my DS2000A. Pretty much every time it's a case of entering upgrade mode, plugging in the adapter, seeing no light on the adapter (not detected properly), unplugging the adapter and plugging back in again, at which point it sees it and the upgrade starts.

Yes, but if the firmware on the unit is newer than the one on the stick the 'upgrade' will not occur.

I have never had a problem downgrading or upgrading. I went from V3 to V2 and back several times when I first got the scope.
Did something change in the very latest firmware?
