--- Quote from: ted572 on August 03, 2016, 07:45:48 pm ---There is new DS/MSO2000/A/-S Firmware available: 00.03.05.00.01 {July 25, 2016}. Edit: Request a download link for this from http://www.rigolna.com (Rigol U.S.A.), etc. You will find the new Firmware for the DS2K series O'Scope here as of today. --- End quote --- Thanks ted572! I received the latest firmware (00.03.05.00.01) from Rigol support within a few hours of submitting the firmware request form. Looks good so far. The reported bugs in the last firmware version appear to be fixed (https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/new-firmware-(00-03-04-02-01)-bug-of-rigol-ds2000a-oscilloscope/msg830091/#msg830091). They also included a text file of release notes/change log for each firmware version to date (attached). |

In many of the EEVBlog videos Dave uses his Rigol DS2000 when he has to do measurements! |

--- Quote from: nctnico on August 04, 2016, 01:42:34 pm ---Sorry but you are starting to mix things here. --- End quote --- I don't think I'm mixing things up. I'm hardly the first person on this forum to point out that you appear to be making random angry posts about Chinese test equipment with no apparent motivation other than a chip on your shoulder about making a 'mistake' with the Siglent SDS2000. --- Quote ---And who is going to watch a 75 minute video while the same information can be put into a short text you can read in under a minute? --- End quote --- No offense, but I don't need advice on brevity from someone writing TL;DR reviews that don't fit into a single post - nor video-creation advice from someone that has a diametrically opposed viewpoint from me on how most people prefer to get information about a product they're thinking of buying. --- Quote ---It doesn't take hands-on experience to form an opinion; there are enough reviews and postings about it. --- End quote --- Yes - that's the way opinion works; unfortunately, you sometimes mistake it for fact. And anyone that has formed an opinion about something based merely on other people's opinions - only to change it later after some real world experience - knows that it's a fool's errand to spout off based solely on that. It leads to erroneous statements - like the one you made recently in another thread about Rigol's "inability" to decode it's entire memory. --- Quote ---At the end of 2015 I looked into both the DS2000 and DS4000 very carefully when looking for an extra scope but decided not to buy either of those due to firmware bugs and price/performance. --- End quote --- As I recall from your postings of the time, you never seriously considered the DS2000 because you absolutely insisted on a 4-channel DSO. Of course, I could be wrong. --- Quote ---I'm actually wondering what other scopes you have hands on experience with because your DS2000 seems to be like some sort of golden standard to you. --- End quote --- This is an argumentum ad hominem, since my overall hands-on experience is unrelated to your total lack of hands-on experience with the DS2000 - but I'll answer it anyway: 1) It doesn't take much research here to see that I've used a Rigol DS1052E for a month (while posting a fair bit about it), used a Rigol MSO1074Z for several weeks, and have posted video reviews of the Owon SDS7102, Hantek DSO5062B, Rigol DS2072, and Siglent SDS2304 (after using each DSO for at least a few weeks). That is the extent of my experience with DSOs. But since I'm specifically interested in the evolution of inexpensive Chinese DSOs and reviewing them, that works just fine for me. In terms of analog oscilloscopes... well, I've been using them since 1978, so I've lost track of how many I've used or had my hands on. 2) If by "golden standard" you mean that it's the inexpensive Chinese DSO I currently own with which to compare other inexpensive Chinese DSOs - or that most of the other Chinese test equipment manufacturers have been copying Rigol's 'moves' for the last decade - sure, I guess so. But it doesn't take more than a few minutes of watching one of my videos to see me pointing out some feature implemented in a better way on the DSO I'm reviewing than on my DS2000. --- Quote ---Rigol isn't a soccer club. --- End quote --- Do you actually read posts here or just create them? I've written hundreds of posts critical of both Rigol and my DS2000 - seriously, man, you need to get that attention-span problem sorted out. |
