Hi, first time poster!
I received a Atten ADS 1102CML from my girlfriends father who told me that he broke it and that maybe I could fix it. He tried updating the firmware to Siglent firmware and said ever since he did that he could never get a signal to appear on the display from either of the channels.
First things first, here is what current software is on it:
Software Version 5.01.02.22
Hardware Version 3-41-0.0
Product Type SDS1102CML
When I started my research I came across some of the threads here with instructions on how to upgrade to the Siglent firmware but the issue I'm having is trying to update the *.cfg file. Most of the threads pointed to this post on the freeforums site where you can grab the firmware file, cfg file, and instructions:
http://siglent.freeforums.org/new-fw-for-sds1000cml-and-cnl-t77.html .
I proceeded by downloading the FW 5.01.02.22 CML firmware.
Inside there are only two files (no instructions inside rar):
SDS1000CML_SSP_V100R005B01D02P22.ADS
Siglent_CML.cfg
I renamed them to this to keep it easier:
up.ADS
cf.cfg
I put both onto a 2GB usb drive, plugged into the front usb port on the scope, went to Update Firmware, press 'SINGLE', I then selected the up.ADS file and hit LOAD. It shows that its updating the firmware so I let it finish and then I turn off the scope. I go to turn the scope back on and do the same process of going to Update Firmware again. This time I scroll down to the cf.cfg file and hit LOAD but I get an error at the bottom of the file: "The selected file format is incorrect".
And thus I'm stuck here. Everything I looked on this site for has said to keep it the same *.cfg extension so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Also, they say the instructions are inside the package(rar file) but they are not so I'm not sure where everyone is getting their instructions from. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
