Rigol DS4000 100 MHz hackable to 500 MHz?

[Steff_electronics]

Hi,
even if it is an old topic I would like to ask why I could have problems doing the upgarde?
I have a DS4014 with decoder upgrade already done, but I am not abe to do the BW upgrade.
It is using SW version 00.00.04 and HW version 1.2

Thanks for any help

What exactly problem do you have?

I'm about to buy MSO4014 and need to be sure if I can upgrade it or not

The latest version of the SW (and the version I have been using for the last ~year with 500MHz option) is 2.3.0.3. This is significantly newer than 0.0.4, maybe they added the option between the two versions?

Hi!

I upgraded my brand new mso4014 just two weeks ago.
Using latest firmware.
And it works beautifully.

So unless they changed something in the last days you're probably fine.

The latest S/W version for the DS4000 series is 2.3.1.1, apparently published in October, 2017.

Does anyone have the latest list of fixes for that latest firmware?

[jjoonathan]

I don't see 2.3.1.1 on int.rigol.com and the form on int.rigolna.com gives me a zip of 2.3.0.3 when I put in my serial number. Where did you spot it?

I moved my question to :

The thing I did not know, was that the system info screen will still say it's a MSO4024 after it's been hacked... 😆
