Need help hacking DP832 for multicolour option.

Hack still works and was even able to do it after a couple of beers!

JAN 2024... 1.16 FW DP832:  GOTROOT STILL WORKS!!!

It worked perfectly and smoothly  on a 1.16 Firmware DP832 dated May 2020 which I picked up for just over US$200 on Yahoo Auction this morning.

I used a Mac with Ventura.... you don't especially need Windows and you don't need Linux to do this.

I downloaded only ONE FILE to complete this EPIC UPGRADE... (OK, so I'm CAPS stoked... lol... apologies for the overenthusiasm).

Upgrade DP832 to DP832A (Firmware 1.16) on a Mac in MacOS...

1) download the supplied USB-Key unlocker .IMG file in the detailed post just before this one. (it's about 35MB)...
2) use BALENA ETCHER to burn the .IMG file it onto a generic 8GB USB2 stick.
3)  Go to gotroot.ca/rigol/riglol  : Note that for DP832 FW above 1.06 you may need to use the link at the top of the page and make sure you choose GOTROOT 1.1.0, **NOT 1.1.2** <--- this lists SP832B and doesn't have FW > 1.06 so I don't know if it works...
4) Type in your DP832 serial number....  (In a Mac you can just copy and paste it from right in the SYSTEM REPORT USB Section... LOL) and enter F6LT to get the LAN install licence code.   Click Generate
5) Switch on your DP832 , select Utility -> Second Page -> Option -> Install and type in the Loooong code to unlock LAN. Switch off the DP832. (not sure if necessary, but I did and it worked, so....)
6) Plug in the USB stick and LAN cable... And switch back on the DP832... Wait for the DP832 to pick up DHCP. Check IP address in Utility->IO Config->LAN
7)  On your Mac, open Terminal and type
      telnet 192.168.xxx.xxx  5555
  type exactly (no spaces) and press ENTER... There will be no reply.
   :PROJ:SET MODEL,DP832A
9) If no error shows on the screen of your DP832, you can shut it down.
10) Switch on your DP832 again and bask in all the multicolour glory and 1mV precision. Also, ALL OPTIONS are Enabled now, not just LAN!


Hope any fellow Mac users find this interesting.
