Rigol DS1000Z series buglist continued (latest: 00.04.04.04.03, 2019-05-30)
Fennec:
Which OS do you use ? Windows ? So try "hp_usb_disk_storage_format_tool" It works fine. Sometimes it can refresh older or damaged pendrives. /attached (Change txt to exe.) Ya, it's clean.
On Linux it is easy formatt to FAT16. On Windows I am an idiot.
For me the FAT16 works way better than FAT32. Maybe it is the pendrive chipset. Idk. I've checked only one laying arround.
Maybe it is possible plant in such a cheap bluetooth or wifi modul for $US5 ? So it would work with all devices, include mobile phones and without any cables. I never test it, because the scope is still sealed.

The downside is, FAT16 can handle 4GB only. So you have to use an old "pendrive" nice name btw. or you lost the rest of the partition. If the RIGOL can handle more than one partitions with FAT16 I didn't checked.
Maybe I find in da junk box an old small thumb-drive. All I have is much larger than 64GB :(

That is probably the main problem. Even with the failed first update (flashing error). :-BROKE
There is (well hidden) on page 16-2 under point 8. (3) in the DS 1054Z Manual this text:
"Make sure whether the capacity of the USB storage device is too large. It is
recommended that the capacity of the USB storage device being used with
this oscilloscope is no larger than 8 GBytes."
And it gets still much worse. In this description of the "DS1000Z Firmware Upgrade Procedure" they recommend this:
"The USB stick must be FAT32 format. If the device is not recognized, try reformatting or
another USB memory stick. We also recommend minimizing the number of folders, files,
and programs on the stick. Drives less than 4GB in total volume are also recommended."
What should I say? My 8 GB USB stick, FAT32, worked and still works fine... :-//

If it can handle FAT32 then I don't see why the drive size would make any difference at all. :-//

One detail: at a certain point in the firmware merry-go-round, the DS4000 series had the same issue. I found out that FAT32 pendrives were terribly slow while FAT16 was very fast. Perhaps you could try this with your DS1000Z?

Was it the exact same pendrive formatted both ways?
I don't think FAT16/FAT32 is the reason. I put big pendrives in mine all the time and it's not slow.
If somebody here owns a 'slow' pendrive then it would be good if they could try formatting it different ways and different capacities and report back with actual numbers.
FAT16
FAT32 4Gb partition
FAT32 8Gb partition
I'm betting it won't make any difference though, pendrives have lots of hidden secrets* and formatting them doesn't erase all the information.
You might be able to make a pendrive into a 'fast' one with clever use of Windows' diskpart/bootsect. I wouldn't know the commands you'll need though.
(*) As anybody who's ever tried to make a bootable pendrive to install Windows can tell you.

Actually it does and there is no problem at all writing to:
USB Stick CNMemory "Spaceloop"
PCI Device ID: 0x268c
PCI Revision ID: 0x0009
PCI Vendor ID: 0x8086
32Gb, FAT32 formatted via OS X Disk Utility
Can not remember having any trouble writing to USB sticks, apart from ExFAT, OS X Extended,... formatted media. So as long as it is FAT16/32 formatted – no problem at all.
However, there is another issue: The timestamp is always 1st of November 2014
There is no difference, if connected to LAN via DHCP. But AFAIK the DS1000Z does not have an RTC.

Yep. It doesn't know the time so what should it do?
1st of November 2014 is probably the design meeting when the DS1054Z was 'born' or something like that.
