Rigol MSO 5000 hardware/software revisions

<< < (18/84) > >>

NoisyBoy:
That is interesting, I thought Rigol has updated all the scopes in dealer inventory based on others' comments.  Is it a new scope, or an open-box/demo units from clearance?  What are you comparing the brightness and fan noise to?

If you read Martin72 earlier posts, you would see even if Rigol has updated the old scopes with brighter screen and quieter fan, the hardware still remains 1.00 from the help screen.  User does not have a way to tell, and Rigol may track it with your serial number instead of hardware version. 

If it is a concern to you, I would suggest you contact Rigol to see if they can look up your scope by serial number to see if those updates are included.

The screen does indeed seem pretty dim and the fan could be a bit quieter. Has anybody figured out what the differences are to HW 1.01 that make the screen brighter and fan quieter?

I suggest you to contact rigol north america and they will ask you for the serial number to confirm if your scope has the LCD and fan noise fixed or not.  I received my unit back in late May and I noticed the LCD being OK and very low fan noise, compared to the first unit I had and returned in March.  I wrote Rigol and they confirmed that my unit had the fixes installed.

I think the HW version is directly tied to a new batch of Zynq FPGAs and is distinguishable in the MCU's Device DNA.

So far, just a theory...

Makes sense.
As I got my modified scope back, nothing has changed on the info screen.
I got "only" the confirmation on the delivery note.
And I´m very, very curious what they´d changed, may be I open up my scope again….
…….Meanwhile, the quieter fan noise could still annoying you, when the enviroment is calm, this deeper sound.... ;)
But this is nothing against the sound level of a lecroy wavejet.
This thing sounds really like ajet….

Do the logic analyzer on the scope is worth to buy the probe?
