| Rigol 1054Z - trace no longer centred after firmware update |
| (1/3) > >> |
| WaveyDipole:
I have just upgraded the firmware on my Rigol 1054Z scope from version 04.04.04.03 to 04.05.02.02 04.05.02.00 and have found that after the update, when the scope was restarted, the horizontal trace for channel 1 was no longer in the centre position, but 1 div up at 1V. The trace sits one div above thew channel indicator. The trigger voltage remains at zero volts but moves down to -1V when I adjust the trace to dead centre. All channels display the same initial offset. Its easy enough to make a manual adjustment, but just wondered whether anyone else had noticed this? Also how do I revert back to the previous firmware version? |

Have you done an autocal? (auto calibration) |
| WaveyDipole:
Funnily enough just had the same thought and its in progress.... Will report back when its done. |
| WaveyDipole:
Well, it seems that after a Self-Cal and restart, normality seems to have been restored. Is it normal for it to loose its calibration like that after a firmware upgrade? This has not happened during previous firmware updates that I had carried out. |

The update you performed included this: --- Quote ---[History] ------------- v00.04.05.01.00 2021/06/01 - Modify the vertical Display. --- End quote --- So it makes sense that a recalibrate might be in order. Rigol actually doesn't have much in the way of instructions online for updating the 1054Z (at least that I could find). I don't have a 1054Z anymore, so I don't know if the scope itself gives any indication that you should recalibrate. The firmware update instructions for the scope that I replaced the 1054z with does specifically say that a self-calibration should be done after the update. |
