Rigol DP832 - Firmware list and bugs

--- Quote from: Armxnian on April 22, 2015, 12:36:54 am ---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?

BTW: Don't forget to update analog boards 1 & 2. People sometimes forget this step since it's separate from the main firmware update.

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).

Yup that worked, thanks :-+. My Analog Version is 02.02.03.02.02.03 instead of 01.02.03.01.02.03 like on the guide. To anyone wondering, a 16GB USB 3.0 flash drive works for updating the firmware.

Just to add to the discussion, my Pomona banana to alligator cables fit nicely. It was a tight fit at first but they loosened up after a few uses.

Excellent! More than happy to help. Analog Version: 02.02.03.02.02.03 should indicate your unit is equipped with the new TopBoard_V02.20 (as pictured here) and new BottomBoard_V02.20 (my unit also has both new revisions).

Glad to see your binding posts are trouble free. My red binding posts are a tight fit with banana plug connections but not too tight. The black and green are a looser fit but still form a trustworthy connection.

As Rigol unfortunately quite often doesn't seem to provide release notes with firmware updates, maybe some excerpts from the most recent v1.11 release notes will help others to decide, whether to upgrade or not:
Version:00.01.11.00.00 Date:2014-7-8
* Add the traditional language menu.
* Expand the point of recorder to 614400.
* The display mode will not be changed by setting preset.
Version:00.01.10.00.03 Date:2014-5-09
* Fixed the bug of the display of high resolution option.
* Add internal ovp/ocp function.

What has changed with the 00.01.13.00 update? Any news on this? Worth the update from 00.01.11??

I wondered the same thing and my online research yielded nothing. I wish Rigol would provide release notes so one would know if a firmware update was worth the time, effort and risks. I've never bricked anything updating firmware, nothing but positive experiences. I'm very OCD so I like to keep my firmware updated as a general rule. Over time, firmware updates usually offer continual improvements, however, sometimes new issues are introduced. With the Rigol DP832, firmware updates have resolved several bugs and introduced a few. I've actually reported two new firmware bugs here in this thread which I hope are resolved in a future firmware release (I plan to report them to Rigol in the near future).
