--- 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.

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.

Same here, received the same email with the "old" firmware.

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

Cheers.

I've just done a quick and dirt upgrade (+ FRAM, default settings, autocal). It looks like I can't lockup my scope anymore.

Cheers.
