--- Quote from: CustomEngineerer on October 17, 2015, 04:30:02 am ---Received an email from rigoltech.com email address today with a link to the new firmware and release notes for the DS2 Series. When I click the link for the release notes it downloads a file named "Release Notes DS2v3_3_2_6 6-17-15.pdf" which is the previous firmware and only contains the release notes for up to that revision. So no release notes for the new version. I downloaded the firmware linked in the email and get a zip file named DS2000Update.zip. When I unzip this file I get another zipped file named DS2000FWUpdate.zip. When I unzip this one it creates a directory/file named DS2000(DSP)Update_00.03.04.01.00/DS2000Update.GEL. At least it appears to contain the correct firmware, though not sure why its double zipped. I haven't bothered installing it yet because I haven't seen anyone else report that they have installed it and I am currently not having any problems with v00.03.03SP2. --- End quote --- There firmware update system seems a little odd. Today, out of the blue, I got a firmware update email for the DP800 (DP832) power supply. I reviewed the release notes, and looked at the firmware, and if it's labeled correctly it's firmware version 00.01.14.00.03 released on 4/24/2015. Note sure why they decided to send that to me today. Of course, it's possible it's a different firmware, and the release notes weren't updated correctly. I didn't bother to compare the files, and quite frankly I'm not going to bother. Not looking to risk bricking my equipment without good reason. |

EDIT: just done an md5sum of this one and the original 1.14 archives, they are identical. Cheers. --- Daniel |

It looks like I can't lockup my scope anymore. Cheers. --- Daniel |
