Rigol DP832 - Firmware list and bugs

I keep seeing this mentioned, do you mean that features are unlocked on the DP832, or do you mean something that makes it think it is a DP832A instead?  I'm not familiar with that.

edit : Is it that with a specific usb stick "magic stick" you can use the set model command?

Sure.

Read the thread starting at page 10.  You can make a 'magic' USB stick and then issue a SCPI command (while the 'magic' USB stick is plugged in) that tells a DP832 that it's a DP832A; after that, all the features of a DP832A are unlocked and the SysInfo reports that it's a DP832A.  It's highly likely that this is how the Rigol factory decides what PSU is what version.  You can't change to a model that is not the same hardware e.g you can't change from DP831 to DP832A.

What differences are there if you have a DP832 that is already unlocked?

Just the font and displays?

You should know that there are two firmware 01.16. Early received from support and late officially released. Judging by the forum earlier it was better. But I haven't tested it myself.
