Need help hacking DP832 for multicolour option.
belzrebuth:
I'm trying to get this to run on Win10 64 with mingw64 and LinuxMint64 (on VM).
I get a "segmentation fault (core dump)" error message when executing on Linux.
On Windows the riglol.exe just hangs and I get the typical MS warning when something's not responding.
I've tried both the 1.03d (unchanged) from the gotroot archive as well as the code attached by starec on July 10/ 2019 (including the definitions of the gootroot 1.03d .c file)
The miracl library compiles fine on both configurations (on windows I've used the mingw.bat and on linux the bash linux64 script).
The executable also compiles ok and runs normally when executed giving me the command options and usage.
It's when I put a serial number and a licence 4 digit code that the program fails.(so when it actually needs to do something)
I've troubleshoot enough to find out that the problem probably lies in the ecurve function call but I'm not sure.
I've put the program to print something from various parts of the code and that's where it loses it.
Many people have succesfully compiled and run this so I don't know if there's any needed "skill" at play here as tv84 implied; it's maybe something trivial that's system specific or just an omission of sorts on my part.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated as I'm really curious what I might be doing wrong.
Thanks:)
EDIT: I was able to run the program after I've compiled the miracl library and the riglol.c in 32bit.
I should've tried it a lot sooner I guess; still curious what's wrong with 64bit though..
belzrebuth:
Is there any way to set the DP832 to be DP832A while keeping the 7-segment display as is?
I only need to try the hi-res option to be honest and kind of like the 7-segment display better than the smooth fonts..
So would it be better just to enter the riglol code for "accuracy" instead instead of performing the model change?
Only reason I considered the model change is that it's reversible.
RoGeorge:
You can not have DP832A with 7 segments font, but you can unlock the high resolution option (or any other, or all options) for the DP832, without turning the instrument into a DP832A. Unlocking the options is different from the method used here. Search for "Riglol" to find the key generator.
As a side note, the 7 segments font is very hard to read when compared with the fonts of DP832A. I used to think those 7 segments digits were cool, but the DP832A normal font is so much easier to read that I wouldn't want to go back to seven segments font, ever!
belzrebuth:
I'll check both options when my replacement DP832 arrives (I've had a bit of adventure getting a defective unit so I'm in the process of getting a replacement).
I could first try changing the model to DP832A to check the smooth font color screen,if I decide to keep the "A" version I would effectively have a "new" screen and only the high-res option enabled but not the LAN and RS232, correct?
I would then need to unlock the other options within the riglol generator right?
BTW what is the accuracy option "MWTB" for the DP832A?
Isn't this default to all "A" units?
RoGeorge:
AFAIK DP832A have all the options enabled by default, including LAN and RS232, so no matter what options were installed before on a DP832, when you turn it into DP832A it will also unlock all the options.
