Rigol DP832 - Firmware list and bugs
alank2:
Basically I'm asking, have others had a good experience with 01.16 or are there any issues with it. :)

Has less issues than 01.14.

The firmware upgrade instructions are quite dodgy at best.
I even found this which isn't much better.

#1 - Start the unit with the USB stick plugged in or not? or turn it on, press help, THEN plug it in?
#2 - After main update, what does "move USB flash" mean? Remove it? Does the help help m4 m2 m1 update without need of the USB stick?
#3 - What is the warning in the official Rigol instructions about bricking it if you install twice all about? I don't want that.
Is it so hard to have simple clear concise instructions!

I got it.
It was picky about the USB stick though.
#1 - find a USB stick it likes, plug them in until it recognizes one.
#2 - unplug it and copy GEL file to it.
#3 - turn dp832 off, turn it on, when seeing the rigol graphic press and hold HELP.
#4 - it will prompt to plug in stick, plug it in.
#5 - it will do the update. At the end it says to power cycle, but if you wait, it will reboot itself.
#6 - I had to set mine back to English language.
#6 - now you can press help help and do the power boards. first m4, m2, m1 and then m4, m2, m2.
#7 - reboot the whole thing.

If a DP832 has been told it's a DP832A using the magic USB stick, will applying an official GEL file update result in the PSU staying as a DP832A?
