Old FW version - there have been 2 releases since the one you have. You can find download links and instructions for upgrading on the first page of this thread.
Carrington:
Anyone know how many versions of HW exist until today's date?
1.0 -> 1.0.1.0.0 -> 2.0 :-//
Thanks.
Okay I think I have the answer, just two HW version: 1.0.1.0.0 -> 2.0.
And I have the feeling that in the 2.0 Ver. they have improved the PSU and DC/DC parts.
Electro Fan:
Just checking to see if you could feed a string such as 01000001 which represents “A” in ASCII (by simply turning on and off voltage at some level (maybe 3.3V or 5V) over periodically uniform time intervals and have the 2072 decode the 1s and 0s string into the letter A? Thanks!

Hi Carrington,
Sorry, that probably wasn't fully clear (and I'm sure it was off topic from the current page in this 100+ page thread, but I generally look at it as this thread as "the Encylopedia of Rigol 2072" thread), and EEV + marmad et al as Guttenberg.
What I was asking about was focused on the capabilities of the Rigol decoder option.
I understand that if you probe, for example, a I2C signal with a 2072 that has the decoder option (SD-DS2) turned on, that you can decode the I2C signal into hex, ascii, decimal, and binary.
So, my question was simply if you could deocode an ascii string that wasn't derived specifically from an I2C signal, but was in fact a legitimate ascii character (such as the letter A).
To test this, one could conceivably generate a signal by driving voltage high and low at intervals that would correspond to a given character and then probe the signal with a 2072 with the SD-DS2 option. Whether the Decoding Table or Event Table would decode and display such a string is the question.

- I think this is the manual for the SD-DS2 and I think it applies to the DS2000 series and the DS4000 series, but I'm not 100% sure.
