I've reverted the link to the 1.03d version. I had applied some patches by request, to support MSO1000Z, and recompiled with emscripten, but apparently those patches are broken for the web. The executables (Windows and Linux) in the riglol-mso1000z-with-bins.zip file do still work though, so folks can use those if they don't want to use the web version.
Sorry I don't have time to actually curate this, but everything you need is there if you do a bit of digging . Maybe it shouldn't be *too* easy.
Would it be possible to remove "DSBA" (500uV Vertical) and change "DSFR" to "DSER"? 500uV Vertical doesn't work on the DS1000Z.
+1 for hiding the 500uV option.
It might save a lot of headaches for new-comers. (And we can stop telling people to 'not' install it.)
I'm refraining from doing any actual development on any of the tools, I'm just not up to date enough on the current state of affairs. If someone wants to submit a patch or updated version I'm happy to host it.
There is NO need to modify any tools.
Just modify the web page not to show the 500uV option. (i.e. Do Not Advertise)

Just curious, why are you keep pushing that advice to others?
I'm sorry that your unit doesn't work well in 500yV/div, but why not let other people try it. Maybe their unit works well with the 500uV/div, mine does, and there is no possible damage in trying it, so why not?
Most of the arguments I've seen so far against enabling the 500uV/div range are either irrelevant or simply not true:
- (i.e. I like 1mV/div to be the most sensitive range because I have a wrong habit of turning the knob too much),
- (i.e. doesn't make part of self calibration - it's a software zoom, so it does not requires self-calibration)
- (i.e. doesn't show any trace in 500uV mode - mine shows all the traces spread less than a division, maybe some units are way off, or maybe it was some old firmware)
- (i.e. front end is noisy, so 500uV/div is useless - then use Average acquire mode to remove it)
- (i.e. is just a software zoom anyway - yes, but in x1024 Average mode the ADC gains 5 more bits of resolution, and the minimum step visible on the screen is still only 1 pixel, and that wouldn't be possible to see at all without the 500uV/div range)
- (i.e. but what if it doesn't work, after all - then bad luck, just remove the 500uV/div option)
In fact, not only that the 500uV is useful and works great on my DS1054Z, but I've met some situations where the measurement can't be made at all without switching to the 500uV/div range.
