 :-DD nobody does that....actually, I did read (almost) the whole Rigol manual. That crap was long as hell.

EDIT: I read a lot of the Siglent manual too. They're both equally boring.

Nah, the FW manual ! It comes in the FW rar/zip package and for an OS update it's a different install process to FW.

Oh, see, now that is more effort. ;)

Sure but an OS update is not an everyday occurrence and might only happen once in a products lifetime.
If the bowls of the instrument are significantly improved then the effort to install a OS update is worth it.
The 4ch X-E OS update made major improvements to the webserver in particular.
It was dead simple and only needed the update files in the root of the drive so to auto-install at boot.

The most common error is to use a USB stick incompatible with the OS, hell even Dave struggled getting one seen with the new DS7000 he looked at. FAT32 and under 8Gb and there's generally never a problem.

I replied to a thread about people having issues with USB sticks. The trick is to use "SD Card Formatter" utility (from sdcard.org) to format them (not the OS's formatting utility), and almost any USB stick will probably work. I'm using a 32GB USB3.1 stick with the 1054Z and it's working fine.
