I'm following the V1 to V2 instructions exactly. Pages 1 and 2 show screenshots, but their's shows a LOAD option which I dont see on the LCD. Their screenshot shows it as the Save/Recall menu. Maybe I ought to reflash the existing fw.

OK.
I suggest you load an early V1 version from way back when V2 just became available.
The FW revision History PDF attached might help with the selection of which version to install.
Then make your selection from the old website I linked earlier.

I tried an old file, but that won't work because no matter what, it never shows the LOAD softkey.

OK, going back to your earlier post:

The problem seems to be that the scope doesnt recognize the .cfg file I select and doesnt show the LOAD button on the LCD. See the image in my last post. Is it because I'm not on Version 1? This scope shows 1.1.1.37.2. How do I know its Version 1 vs Version 2. The leading number is '1' on both scopes but I think the other scope successfully was updated to Version 2 (but shows 1.2.1.38.7). Must be the 2nd number that designates Version 2. ??

Set to a slow timebase where the memory depth is displayed. IIRC they were 35 MPts whereas V2 allows for 70 Mpts.
Maybe you can also see this in the Acquire menu where you select the mem depth.
gman76:
Not sure I follow. What does the memory depth or timebase have to do with the firmware update, insofar as getting it updated?

SDS2000 models with V1 FW had just 35 28 Mpts max mem depth IIRC. V2 allowed 70 Mpts it by allowing the system to access more memory.
This is easily checked in Acquire settings as to what is the max mem depth available and indicates if V1 or V2 FW is installed.

--- Quote from: tautech on November 23, 2015, 06:57:59 am ---Please note there are 4 steps to upgrade from V1 to V2 firmware, these are outlined in the update instructions that are part of the FW update.
First install a .cfg, then reboot.
Then the .ads file TWICE with a reboot after each install.
Finally a Self cal.
Attached is the pdf changelog.
