Rigol DS1000Z series buglist continued (latest: 00.04.04.04.03, 2019-05-30)
Karel:
I'm glad to hear that you found a solution/workaround.
If I may say so, the firmware of the DS1000Z is a big unreliable mess.
(But still, a great value hobbyists scope for an excellent price.)
RoGeorge:
SCPI commands takes time to execute. Pushing too many commands at once, or too many one by one but too fast, might not work.
There are ready/busy and/or OK/error SCPI indicators, as words or as bits, that tells the status of the instrument. The status indicators will tell whether the instrument is ready or not to process the next SCPI command(s).

I wrote the USB-TMC protocol in my program myself and tested it against several devices. I also programmed it for a PIC18F, so that I can test everything as good as possible.
The Rigol DS1000Z does not stick to the standard. You can query status bits, but their value is not updated, or not supported at all. The status byte in interrupt transfer is always zero. The MAV bit is ignored and so on.
And that with all my five Rigol devices.

I can confirm that. Unfortunately...
rob040:
Not sure if every DS1000Z owner is following/reading all related threads, but to keep this one a little bit up-to-date, the latest SW is now:
v00.04.04.04.03 2019/05/30
- Fixed the wave error when STOP and changing Timebase
frozenfrogz:
Sorry, I have been pretty busy lately and did not follow the forums much.
I will update the OP with links to the latest firmware. Can someone tell what bugs have been fixed (that are still listed as bugs) so I can put it into the OP also?
Thank you!
