Firmware update for ATTEN ADS1102CAL+ oscilloscope
darist:
Hello all
I have recently bought an ATTEN ADS1102CAL+ oscilloscope. During the short time I've been using it, I have noticed many bugs that are most probably related to the ancient firmware version (see attached screenshot). I have been trying to update to the latest firmware (5.01.02.13 according to www.atten.eu) without any success. Here is what I have done so far:
a) From a discussion in https://www.eevblog.com/forum/beginners/atten-oscilloscope-firmware/ I understood that my oscilloscope model shares the same firmware with the corresponding Siglent SDS 1000CNL oscilloscope. Thus I downloaded the firmware from http://www.siglent.com/en/product/detail.aspx?id=100000004399111&nodecode=119008001 and tried to install it. I formatted a USB drive (FAT32) and copied the update files in the root directory. When I connect the USB in the front panel port of the oscilloscope and try to update the firmware according to instructions, I get the message: "Firmware update failed, error 0xFE. No upgrade files detected on USB device!". BTW the "SINGLE" button did not respond while trying to update (contrary to the update instructions), I only got a 'Confirm' and 'Cancel' option. Furthermore, the USB drive works OK because I can successfully save and load waveform data using the oscilloscope.
b) I downloaded an older firmware (3.01.01.31R16) from a link in http://www.cube.co.za/~tva/workbench/atten-ads1102cml/atten-ads-1102cml-review.xhtml. I tried the same procedure as above with the exact same failed result.
c) I have written a mail to both info@atten.eu and sales@atten.com.cn but without any answer yet.
d) It seems that the oscilloscope expects exactly a filename format of the firmware update file. I have been trying to rename the file using various combinations (ex. ADS1000CNL*.ADS) but without any success.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you in advance

Atten.eu is a reseller. Did you buy from them? If yes, they are the party to contact. If not, try contacting the seller.

I bought the oscilloscope from ebay. I have already contacted the seller but I don't really expect much of a help from him. Maybe an email of a contact person in atten at the most.
I found out that the serial number of my device matches with some Hantek devices, as there are several references on the internet for Hantek oscilloscopes with s/n (T 1G /012...) . I figured out that maybe the real hardware of my oscilloscope is from Hantek, so I tried to use the latest firmware of Hantek DSO5102P that has common characteristics with my device. Unfortunately, during the firmware update process I bumped into this 0xFE error message once more.
I'm pretty sure that it is a filename format issue. Only God (and maybe a couple of atten engineers somewhere in China) knows what this filename needs to be...

Here is the format for current Siglent SDS1000 series firmware:
SDS1000CNL_SSP_V100R005B01D02P13.ADS
(exactly as copied from filename)
This is not the only file that comes in the downloaded firmware. (.rar package)
Also a .cfg file and a readme
Make sure they are all on the USB stick.

There is a lot of information in this forum! The more I dig in the more I find:

This screenshot matches exactly to the characteristics of my oscilloscope (sw & hw version, serial). It seems that my oscilloscope is a new model with Tekway/Hantek hardware inside. According to a post from tinhead, the firmware is from Hantek DSO5000P series specialized for ATTEN.
https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/new-atten-dso-discovered/msg264137/#msg264137
However, as I said before I tried to use the firmware for Hantek DSO5102P (dso5kp_func_dso5102p20140208.up) without success.
@tinhead: Do you have any update regarding this new model of ATTEN? I am willing to upload pictures if you are willing to take a look.
