One problem I am seeing, is someone seems to have installed the wavestation firmware ( ok who's unit is this, points fingers around :) )
But now I cannot update it, it just fails when applying updates via usb drive. Tries to run, and says failed. I am assuming some mismatch.
I am wanting to update because the version is very old (R6, assuming the versions align with siglent.. :-// )
Anyone have any tips ? Should I just try to obtain lecroy firmware see if it will update?
As far as I can tell the warranty sticker is still intact also, so probably still factory inside.

Suggestions to try, at your own risk !
Hunt through all the SDG800 firmware updates for a Config file and run it before installing any Siglent firmware.
This will allow the UI change to Siglent from LeCroy.
Carefully study the release notes, there is an defined order firmware must be installed to get to the latest version.
Also, the release notes might have mention of a firmware version needing the Config file and that will give clues of which version to use. Make notes of the steps you will use before you even start.
Don't give up as too hard, you need to do this to get to recent firmware so to not have boot freeze problems that late version firmware has fixed.
I have some advanced resources ;) if you get into trouble.

Thanks for replies,
Info Attached, I have read the firmware docs and have tried all of them, even the transition.ads and its says "Update Failed" instantly or "Choice Valid update file"
(also it(the docs) has no mention of upgrading from .06 ) only .05 and .07 with regards to the order. shrug
EDIT: I read it wrong I think , I will try again , maybe I did not run 07 first as I am supposed to to be sure. 07,transition, + etc, is doesn't say if a restart between each is necessary though. But I will give it another go.
The file names were 8_3 short on the usb soooo.. lol

Have a look here for many more SDG800 FW versions than listed on the US site:

Why do you say it has a Lecroy FW? Because of the boot logo?
Show me these SCPI commands:
*IDN?
MD5_PR?
MD5_SRLN?
IDN-SGLT-AWG?
PRO_SRLN?
MCBD?
From the link tautech provided, install 07, reboot, transition, reboot. After transition is installed I think you can go directly to 13R9.

V6 is the first FW for SDG800 AFAIK and yes the LeCroy boot image as you know will be part of that/all firmware.
tablatronix can contact me privately for another solution but it involves removing the covers to access the HW inside.
We have had HW failures (boot freeze) with these models but they are SW related and we now have a box of tools to successfully recover them. tablatronix might find the FW he needs I dunno and I think the freeze recovery tools might be the simplest remedy.
