Thanks, OldNeurons!. Following your positive feedback I re-flashed the 01.14 firmware, and this time no problems for Keysight Connection Expert to detect the DP832 via USB! A mystery whatever happened the first time... I have updated my post above.
I tried LAN connection but Connection Expert still does not see it. Rigol UltraSigma does find it, though, and DP832 responds to SCPI commands that way.
Does anyone control DP832 via LAN connection and have any news about doing so?

I have also lost the auto-find on the LAN with I/O Libraries, but adding the IP address manually works fine. Go figure.

Just to ruin my day, I also updated my DS1074Z and lost the SCPI connection through USB... Works fine with just NI-Visa, but doesn't work anymore with I/O Libraries installed. LXI works, but doesn't auto-scan either. I wonder if they just rewrote part of their SCPI stack and dinged several of the firmware.

After updating my DP832 from 01.09 to 01.14, Connection Expert found my LAN-connected DP832 with no problem. (I/O Libraries 17.1.19313.5) I can't recall if I manually defined the DP832's IP address to Connection Expert a long time ago (I recall doing this for at least one instrument but don't remember if it was the DP832.) One thing I did notice was that Connection Expert initially displayed a red X next to the DP832's Visa Address (but both Start Instrument Web Interface and a Start Command Expert IDN? command worked). After rebooting the PC the red X changed to a green check mark.
So Connection Expert seems to be working fine for me over the LAN with 01.14. However, my custom NI-VISA C# program failed to connect whereas it had worked fine yesterday with firmware 01.09. NI IO Trace revealed an error which said that the resource was not found. The search initiated by clicking on "Network Devices" in NI-MAX did not find the DP832. But right-clicking on "Network Devices" in NI-MAX and clicking "Create New Visa TCP/IP Resource..." initiated a search which found the DP832. I completed the creation process to add the DP832 to NI-MAX's list. Then my custom program worked fine. It is a mystery to me as to what has changed and why one of NI-MAX's searches found the DP832 but the other NI-MAX search did not. Another mystery is why it is now necessary to define the DP832 to NI-MAX; the C# NI-VISA resourceSearch string is very specific: "TCPIP0::192.168.10.43::inst0::INSTR".

Would someone kindly point me to where I can download 1.14 firmware from please? I have an OCP problem on my unit I'd like to remedy.
Many thanks!
