Hi all:
Brand new at scopes, just received my DS2072A-S. I'm very interested in this upgrade but a bit scared. My unit arrived with Firmware 00.02.01.00.03 installed, and from this thread I get the feeling I should be glad it does not have the newer version. I have a few questions.
1. Since mine is the -S version, does this present any difficulties? I imagine the firmware is the same but I'd like to know if anyone has done this with the -S version successfully.
2. I am running on an iMac 27" system. I do have Parallels installed and can run Windows 8. Any reason this won't work? I do have an old PC I could resort to, but haven't fired it up in about a year.
3. Is there anything illegal about this? I don't recall approving any user licenses when I started up my scope, but I'm curious about the legalities.
Thanks for any encouragement you all can offer.
Edited to add:
OK, I got brave and gave it a try... everything seemed to work fine, up to the point where you plug the scope into the computer. The scope does not show up on the select screen. And yes, I did make sure USB Devices is set to "Computer" on the scope's Utility menu.
I feel like I am so close, yet so far... Any ideas, anyone?
Second update: I fired up my old PC and tried the update there. Again, the update utility does not see the scope when I plug it in. Please help!
