DS2000A Upgrade Utility

(1/52) > >>

Hello Everyone!

I created a little application which will help you upgrade and manage your DS2000A series DSOs. (Only for DS2000A models! The older DS2000 product line is not supported.)

It has a wizard-like user interface, and it guides you through all the steps of the option-upgrade process. The steps are in fact the same as explained many times in  our favourite Rigol monster-thread ;) but the process is now fully automated. The only thing you need to do manually is upload the special FW on the device (the Utility will also explain to you how to do that). No Hex-editing, no SCPI commands in Ultra Sigma is necessary any more, all you need is the Utility itself and a USB flash drive.

OS compatibility:
Vista x32 / x64 or newer

Features:
Wen you successfully completed the wizard for at least one DS2000A device, the Utility will swich its GUI to "Quick configuration mode", where all the upgrade related features are within a reach of one mouse-click. This mode also offers you some cool additional features like device discovery via LAN, screenshot saving, DSO settings backup / restore, date & time syncronization, self test, and an SCPI terminal.
In this mode, most controls (buttons, list boxes, etc.) have tooltips, which inform you about their purpose and correct use.

Installation:
The Utility comes with an "Installer" (a pimped SFX archive, really) which also installs all dependencies if necessary (i.e. not already installed).

Credits:
The Utility utilizes Zombie28's modified FW, and (a slightly modified version of) Tirulerbach's Rigup key decryption tool. It is them, who did the really heavy lifting, without them this application could not exist. All I did was wrap these compontents in a nice and easy-to-use package.

Bugs:
If you find any, please send me the error log and explain how to reproduce the issue. I will do my best to fix critical errors, but you must understand that my time and resources are limited, so no guarantees, no ETA.

Questions:
Please always read the instructions of the wizard carefully. In "Quick configuration" mode, check out the tooltips. If there is something that is still not clear, take a look at the help file. At this point, if you still have questions, drop me a line, and I will try to shed some light on the issue.

Disclaimer:
I refuse to take any kind of responsibility if you damage / brick your DSO while using the Utility.
That being said, I tested it on my DS2072A multiple times, and it is still alive and kicking :)
As long as you follow the instructions of the wizard, and minimize the possibility of a power outage during the FW update, you will be fine.

Latest release: 1.0.0.1 (11.04.2014)

If you're able to get the link posted for download today, I'll give'er a try this evening.  The screenshots look fantastic!

Rigby:
Hey, that's pretty slick.  Though it is definitely biting the hand that feeds you in terms of hacking.  If people didn't make it so damned easy to upgrade their scopes for free, I doubt Rigol wouldn't be so hell-bent on fixing their exploits like they are.

I do appreciate the skill in your UI creation, though.  It looks very, very good.

Could you design a UI for me, since I'm on the topic?
