Many thanks!

Thank you!
I am delighted to report that the OCP problems I encountered (documented here https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/rigol-dp832-firmware-updates-and-bug-list/msg628640/#msg628640) are now a thing of the past! I was concerned that when I replaced a MOSFET in the unit a few weeks ago I'd broken something, but thankfully it appears not.
One thing to note was that the bootloader part of the firmware update seemed to just hang, so I went straight to the main update and analog board updates, it appears to have worked.
Thanks again.

To all owners of DP8xxx. :-+
I would like to ask those who have a DPxxx Rigol it may do a test to compare if it's a problem of my power unit, or if there is a firmware bug general.
The test is the following: :-DMM
by any value set at the output (for example 1 Volt) increase the voltage of 1 mV at a time, measure the output with a DMM :-DMM external if indeed the intention output rises to 1 mV at each step, or as in my case increases 0.6 mV and the next step in a 1.4 mV (total actual doing of the two steps 2 mV). :bullshit:
So every 2 steps it the 2mV correct but to every single-step one is from 0.6 mV and the other from 1.4 mV. This is repeated alternately 0.6 /1.4 ~ 0.6 /1.4 etc.
Thanks

Cidak, if you want 1V and want to adjust it in 1mV steps, then I'd use CH3. CH1&2 may not have sufficient DAC resolution to make 1mV adjustments and what you see is consistent with rounding error. I always use CH3 for these sort of low-voltage experiments.

Look at this post (and the attached histogram) for the statistical result of a full sweep showing in no uncertain term the DAC step size. Also see the rest of the thread for linearity data:
https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/noob-dac-linearity-in-the-dp832/msg584141/#msg584141
I haven't run the same analysis on Ch3, so I can't confirm if Ch3 has indeed better granularity.
Of course, note that this is all way within specs of the DP832.
