RE: Firmware version numbers
There seems to be much confusion.
I just looked at the beta in a hex editor and it is 00.04.02.03.09
So no surprise 00.04.02.03.00 would not install.
I think it would be easy to change the 00.04.02.03.00 to 00.04.02.03.09 in the firmware file. Maybe then it would load for the ones who tried the Beta.
Very easy, but is there a checksum? Anyone know?
I checked the contents of the f/w supplied to me by Rigol on the 22nd Dec and it contains the plain text
f/w version "00.04.02.03.00"
I can confirm the beta contains "00.04.02.03.09"
Let's see if when I change that one byte from an ascii "0" to "9" I can load it.
When inserting the thumbdrive I get "The same software version detected. Update?"
And it does not load successfully.
This compares with the "An older version detected. Update?" message I get with the unchanged f/w I received two days ago.
