Did you report these to Rigol?

I plan to in the near future. I was going to give it a few days to see what type of response/insight/confirmation I might receive from my postings.

Hi Kris,

Thanks for your contribution regarding bug(s) with DP800 series!  That's just the kind of news relevant to this thread!  The detail and screenshots to illustrate and reproduce the problem are great. 

I'm on travel as of tomorrow so busy right now, but let's see how this plays out (has anyone reproduced the errors?) and I will add it to the bugs list (post #1) when I am back (end of the month).

Best,
Sparky

Thanks for the positive feedback. Your plan for adding the bugs to post #1 at the end of the month sounds good. I'm waiting to report the bugs to Rigol until I get some responses/insight/confirmation with my posts here.

The bit slides effortlessly into the Earth and GND posts with some play, but it also slides (if somewhat slightly tighter) into the positive posts. So is 3.8mm the wrong size? How big should these holes really be? The positive post holes are definitely 3.8mm, but a banana plug doesn't fit into them. Should they be actually 3.9mm?

0.166 inch or 4.22mm
according to these manufacturers:

So I went for it and drilled out the positive posts last night. They definitely couldn't be 4.22mm as that would leave no steel at all in the post. A used a 3.8mm drill which allowed me to get banana plugs into the posts, but they were still very tight, so I widened the holes slightly more by "jiggling" the drill a little. Ideally a 3.9mm bit should do the job properly. I used a variable speed drill and used a "snails-pace" speed. The bit cut through the surface quite easily without putting any major strain on the post. So my conclusion, this is something that can be easily done without fear of damaging the device. The end result is about 3.9mm and the banana plugs go in as you would expect them to. I considered using a 4mm drill, but it doesn't fit into the posts that were working properly, so I decided it was too big.
One further point. It seems that the tightness is due to a lip/burr at the very start of the hole. Once the drill had passed the first 1mm into the hole, the rest of the terminal seems to be the correct dimension. Either the plating process was a bit over generous or the stamping machine was a bit too heafty.

I can't get the firmware update to work (DP832). I got the files from rigol (1.13). I have boot version 1.09 and firmware version 1.11 . I tried two different flash drives. One is USB 2.0, 2gb, and I formatted it as fat32 using disk part and rufus. The other is a 16gb USB 3. Both are recognized by the unit in normal mode. When I boot it up and press help, it says please insert usb stick with the file on it. I do it but it just stays there.

Any help?

You're good to go on the bootloader (no need to update) so just place "DP800Update.GEL" from "DP800(Software)Update(Normal)_00.01.13.00.01\" on to your FAT32 formatted USB flash drive root directory.

Complete instructions are attached to post #1 of this thread (DP832 Firmware Upgrade 00.01.13.pdf).
