One struggles to imagine how you manage in this day and age.
Really, the risk is soooo low if the instructions are followed to the letter.
I've seen some members mention using a UPS so that even power loss is removed as a risk.

Do you not do any updates of modern gear ?  :-//
I've only done one MB bios flash but that was many years ago.
Anything else I own I check for updates on a irregular basis.

There has been talk behind the scenes of Siglent enabling some equipment to connect directly to their server (after user input) and installing updates automatically with user confirmation to do so.
Would this ability give you more confidence to update firmware in equipment ?


--- Quote ---It's not the fallback to using the internal reference per se because I would expect it to do that if there were no external ref signal present. It's the fact that it does so when re-booted with the external ref active and it still erroniously reports it is using the external ref whilst actually it is using the internal reference. It can be difficult to actually diagnose it is doing this without performing some tests so I routinely need to remember to reset to internal ref, then change it back to external again in the settings.

As indicated in replies from Siglent this behaviour will be changed and in all SDG AWG models that support EXT frequency reference.  The proposal is OSD indication of the REF source and manual selection only to protect any EXT source from possible damage.

True, I never had some problems with a firmware update since the old 286er / 386er PC BIOS systems, mobile phones or something like that.

BUT my question here is, WHY I should do an update? Does anybody know the fixed issues? Thanks Siglent for the update, but thumbs down for the update infos. I still didn't got an email this update is available and why.  :--
Anybody knows the slogan "NEVER CHANGE A RUNNING SYSTEM" and my 1050 is working for me. So I wait for requests before I do the update. I am sure my Siglent is working a few weeks longer with the old version.

/Sry for the Edit, there was an eevBlog Server issue

Hardcorefs:
Just to be clear,
They have NOT fixed all the bugs.
right after the update , the language was switched from English back to  Chinese............
Despite them claiming it was fixed in the last update.

SDG1000 ?

My SDG1010 updated perfectly, no language reset problems. Did it yesterday.
