Rigol MSO 5000 hardware/software revisions

<< < (16/84) > >>

Thanks Martin for your reaction. I read your notes on this and the improvements on noise and brightness seem important  to me. Therefore  I would like to be able to check the HW status when an MSO5K is delivered to me, especially as  the latest report on delivery  status in this thread shows that in July 2019 Rigol still delivered HW 1.00.000
Do you know of an objective indication that the hardware includes the improvements and whether this is indicate by a higher HW   versionnumber?

Hi,

Some of the members here bought one with version 1.01., mine should be it too, after the mods:

https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/rigol-mso-5000-hardwaresoftware-revisions/msg2515140/#msg2515140
Why there is 1.02 in the delivery note, I must ask for it  - IMHO the modifications done are 1.01. .
So new scope comes with this Version, older or on stock with 1.00 but modificated - or not.
A clear difference between mod/no mod will be the fan noise.
HW 1.00 sounds louder and higher what the frequency concerns.
1.01. sounds "deeper", the frontend of the scope is getting warmer.
Display.....hard to describe…

Martin

That is exactly what not to do when it comes to web management, all the other sites are on 04.04, and you have one Chinese support site on 04.08.   |O

I surely hope they will do a better job in coding the next release of the firmware update.

Rigol.eu told me, the next "official" ( means it will be avaible at US and Europe site) fw update will come soon, in this month…..

Today the MSO5074 came in, according to the retailer directly from Rigol EU in Germany..........

Hardware 1.00.000
Firmware 00.01.01.04.04

Any noise is 'eh' noise but as I have no reference I cannot judge whether the fan is noisy.
Screenbrightness is sufficient on my bench where  no outside light is falling in.

I'm not going to bother whether Rigol has upgraded this MSO while in it's inventory but going  to enjoy exploring all it's functions and features.

Many thanks to all contributers on this forum

Given their track record, I would treat that as a pleasant surprise, but I'd rather not hold my breath for it  :)

Since there really hasn't been an official update in NA since February, the update, when it appears, would be a welcomed event.
