DS2000A Upgrade Utility
BTO:
ok. SO...
@ Kappes Buur
I've failed to get the Passed the USB recognition stage
with the Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit system
another thing i discovered was that i had the USB cable plugged into a 3.0 Port (not sure if that's relevant or not)
either way
with the New installation of Win 7 Pro OEM 32bit on my laptop
the laptop has a USB 2.0
i did only the following
- Installed the O/S
- Installed only Necessary Drivers for the laptop
- Installed Flash Player 13 Active X
- Installed Shockwave Player 12.1
- Installed Java 7 Update 51
the Applilcation you wrote installed
- Bonjour
-Microsoft NET Framework 4.5.1
- National Instruments Software
- Visa Shared Components
i ran all that, and that only
Same issue at the stage where the DSO needs to be connected to the USB Port on the computer, it doesn't detect in the software
However, in Device Manger IT DOES SHOW UP as
PORTABLE DEVICES
DS2072A
F:\
G:\
as well as the fact that it always Detects in Windows Automatically
NOTE: this occurs because your application of course, installs the drivers (i didn't install drivers seperately)
after this Failure
i installed Microsoft Silverlight and did the whole thing all over again,
Still no luck
same issue
i then Disabled Windows Firewall and Windows Defender (the system currently has no other antivirus or malware applications installed.
i then attempted the procedure...
still no luck
i then went to the extreme of adding DS2000A Utility in the menu of
Windows Firewall / Add Another program though the firewall
I'm connected Via Ethernet to my router
the current network is NOT HOMEGROUP and the current network is HOME NETWORK private.
Permissions have been granted to the application and it still doesn't run
Any ideas...
THANKS
BTO:
OK... GOT IT
[Let me now contain my excitement Just long enough to explain how i fixed the issue]
SO..
After doing all of the above i got to thinking as follows
- My PC works without issues
- MY PC is 64 bit win 7 but then again, others have had the application work on 64 bit as well
and.. on top of that, the 64 bit thing shouldn't be a factor anyway.
- after the reformat of the Laptop and retry several times unsuccessfully, i started to think
that perhaps the download was at fault
BUT.. That' Can't be right either, Because others have used the same download and confirmed success of Upgrade
- i Then started to explore the idea that perhaps My RIGOL Supplied USB Cable (USB A - USB B) May be faulty, but that was sort of dumb, considering that windows Flawlessly recognizes the device.
- i then thought it may be the actual USB B Port on the Scope that may be faulty or Loose
so, i jiggled the cable around slightly , but then again, it occured to me
that can't be the case either, because . IT DETECTED IN WINDOWS
- FINALLY WE GET TO THIS POINT
i decide to have a look through all the options in the scope (Keeping in mind that i'm new to this piece of hardware.
after a bit of fiddling around, ...
I DISCOVERED THE SOLUTION
in UTILITY\IO SETUP\USB DEVICE it was set to PictBridge
as opposed to AUTO or COMPUTER
I SET IT TO "COMPUTER"
and re ran the software, with all fingers and toes crossed
and YES... SUCCESS
it detected right away
i changed the setting back and was able to duplicate the problem
i then went back to my original PC and was able to duplicate the problem and rectify the problem there as well,
and performed the Upgrade without a Hitch
I'M NOW HAPPY AS A KID IN A CANDY STORE.
guys, i want to sincerely thank everyone for helping me on this
I want to especially thank the following people
- DAVE JONES For actually creating this super cool forum where you can actually interact with Intelligent people who actually know something, and can actually teach me a thing or two.
And for keeping the Legend of Marty McFly Alive in today's day.
- CYBERNET, Mate, thanks a million for reverse engineering this and saving everyone thousands of dollars in upgrades, and thanks for doing all this Free of Charge
(i'm the same way , i help people in this way as well, when i can)

- KAPPES BUUR - Thanks mate for your patience with me, i appreciate everything
AND LASTLY, I'd like to say this to everyone and extent this offer to anyone on this forum.

Does it work on the AUTO setting too? Would be nice to know if it should be included in a user's guide.
BTO:
OK, i can easily test that for you without the need to reflash the Firmware
give me 5 mins, i'll test all the options for you.
STANDBY....

Hi Mate
Now.. what i found out was this
When you run the DS2000A Upgrade Utility
and you get past the screen where is loads the Custom Firmware onto USB
and then you required to plug in your DSO, but it doesn't detect
HERE'S THE DEAL
You need to go to UTILITY\USB DEVICE
You have 3 visible Items
Auto Detect
Computer
PictBridge
Now (AT LEAST ON MY SCOPE) it seems that only the last 2 are selectable
I guess (and it is just a guess) that it's always in Auto Detect Mode
I did some further reserach
i downloaded the Manual which is available here
http://www.rigolna.com/download/501G00000001PKXIA2/
and the relevant page is ........ 14-6
it reads as follows:
============================================================
USB Device
This oscilloscope can communicate with PC or PictBridge printer via the USB Device interface at the rear panel. You need to set the oscilloscope to make it match with different device types.
Press Utility - IO Setting - USB Device and use (Intesity Knob) to select the desired device type.
- Computer: in this type, the oscilloscope can communicate with the PC.
- PictBridge: in this type, the oscilloscope can communicate with the PictBridge printer.
===============================================================
Going off that
i would guess to say that the Manufacturer has it in AutoDetect Mode always, but you can force it to Communicate with a Port at will
Mine was in PictBridge Mode when i had the problem
that was most likely as a result of my other Engineer freind who came over the evening and who owns an Old 7 Year old Tektronix Digital Scope
He must have changed the setting without me realizing it.
But.. I'm unable to actually manually select Auto Detect
and i've tried going through the scope to find other relevant settings that may Cause this item to NOT BE GREYED OUT
have not had any luck finding such an item
will continue to tinker with my scope, and if i happen to find a way to do it, i'll post it,
but, going off the manual i'm guessing that won't happen.
Hope this has helped you
let me know if you need any further assistance
BE COOL
