Rigol MSO 5000 hardware/software revisions
<< < (81/84) > >>
NoisyBoy:
Sorry guys, I haven't been on this forum for many months.  I found something interesting on the Rigol US website, under the MSO5000, while the download page showed version 01.03.00.01 as the latest, when I clicked on the Release Note, it shows:

v00.01.03.00.03 2021/10/18

      - Optimized waveform display in XY mode.
      - Optimized the DC gain calibration algorithm.
      - The La channel is decoded in parallel, which solved the problem of decoding
         error in negative polarity.

Looks like it addresses some of the common issues many have discussed.  The GEL file has a date 10/17/21. 

Oops, please ignore this, the topic is actively being discussed at another thread:

Rigol official amazon.de shop is selling atm 2 different MSO5074 versions with different EAN numbers, but with exactly the same price.
EAN 4053199916733 https://www.amazon.de/50000Wfms-MSO5000-BND-Oscilloscope-Included-Multi-Touch/dp/B07PC2B7CY
EAN 6973332403310 https://www.amazon.de/50000Wfms-MSO5000-BND-Oscilloscope-Included-Multi-Touch/dp/B08TB1V9W5

Are we dealing with different HW revisions here? Are there any differences applying "DIY Licensing bundle"?
Edit: Skimmed quickly trough this thread - it looks like there is only one HW version - 01.01.000

The "bundles" are FW version related, not HW related.

Rigol just released a version of the 1.03.02.02 on the US website.  When you do the actual download, the file name is MSO5_FW_V1_1_4_4, the upgrade instruction.txt file is still gibberish, likely in a different language.  For the actual GEL file, the checksum was exactly the same as the one in the Chinese site which disappeared earlier.  They never had a professional discipline in managing firmware update when the MSO5000 came out, sadly this trend continues years later. 

Here is the change log, also the same as before:
v00.01.03.02.02 2023/01/04
   
     - Add shortcut button and VNC remote function
    - Waveform, cursor movement, gesture operation vertical and horizontal gear switching speed optimization
    - Cursor optimization: cursor jump optimization, ZOOM area and main time base cursor linkage, etc
    - The color of the CH4 waveform is modified, and the brightness of the waveform is improved
    - ZOOM mode optimization: mask color adjustment, switching speed, area movement optimization
    - SCPI instruction response speed optimization: reset, measurement, waveform read instruction response optimization

While the file is the same as before, at least now you are downloading this patch from the official firmware download site.  So hopefully we will get some support from Rigol in case the upgrade fails. 


Some have reported upgrade failure with this version, this is unfortunate, but not entirely unexpected given Rigol's careless approach to firmware and updates.  To help all in the community who wants the upgrade, can we start a log of your experience in upgrading to firmware 1.:

* Upgrade successful vs. upgrade failed
* Reset to factory default required, vs. not required.
* Hardware version
* Was your scope "hacked/enhanced" with patch file before the upgrade
* Any extra steps taken to perform upgrade


Thank you, let's see if we can get to the bottom of this.
