Very interesting, It would also be nice to know what exactly they mean with "newer version". A new hardware revision? or will there be the Version 2.0 of the XDM 1041, or did they mean the new battery powered XDM 1241?

Quote from OWON: 26-Feb-2022: Our engineer said the V3.0 is for different hardware version but all functions are the same to your 2.0 , we don't have any new firmware.

My response: What are the difference between my unit and the newer unit?

Answer from OWON 28-Feb-2022: Using different LCD panel but has the same function

A lot of manufacturers are being forced to change components with all the supply problems going on right now.

Not only that, but they reserve the right to change their designs without prior notice... Leaving their customers behind with bugs does not build confidence and taints the track record, but Owon might not give a second thought to this, unfortunately.

Hi I ordered OWON XDM1241 from Banggood and I ogt it in 10 days!

The new unit shows FW VER 3.3.1 and its SCPI commands are the same as the one reported by TheHWCave, with some sligth difference and... a bug (CONT and DIODE function selection  are somehow exchanged in meaning; CONF:DIOD put it in DIOD but FUNC? returns CONT; CONF:CONT put it in CONT but FUNC? returns DIOD)

Meanwhile I wrote a config file for TestControllerUA program, so I can get full automated controll of the DMM and gather/store/plot values (only the main function, not the secondary one... I'm tryiing to get it done!)  and I can correlate irt with other bench devices:

I think it can be easily adapted for XDM1041 ... with some variations due to SCPI implementation!

I'll share it if someone wants to try it!

Many thanks to all EEVBlog contributors, TheHWCave among them, who inspired me!
