Sorry I am sure this has been covered before and I see some threads on my quiry and I also see some contraindications which confuses.
Just purchased a secondhand DS1054Z which has had the 100MHz hack upgrade applied. Currently the firmware is reported as being 00:04:02:SP3 board is reported as 0.1.1 looking at the release notes the firmware date is 21/10/2014 (Australian date convention as all will be below)
Where I am confused is if I go to the Rigol website
http://int.rigol.com/Support/SoftDownload/3 and go to support the latest firmware is showing as 00:04:04:03:02 dated the 2/6/2017. Now I have found another member here "Shock" post up this url as where you get the firmware update from
http://beyondmeasure.rigoltech.com/acton/fs/blocks/showLandingPage/a/1579/p/p-0019/t/page/fm/0 where it is shows the latest firmware is 00:04:04:03:05 dated the 28/4/2018. In the release notes of this firmware version it doesn't recognise 00:04:04:03:02??? Is "beyondmeasure.rigoltech.com" an official Rigol site, is this where the latest is at?
All the release updates up and until the variation I have listed above are the same. It is only the latest update that differs.
Looking at the release notes there are sufficient bug fixes and indeed features added that would justify in my application upgrading to the latest firmware. My current firmware is actually one version back from the infamous jitter issue which features prominently here on the forum so at least by my counting 7 possibly 8 firmware revisions behind the current.
Would appreciate those in the know letting me know what is the official Rigol latest firmware is?
Also is there any issue applying firmware updates to a hacked DS1054Z?
Cheers...
Update: Looking into the beyondmeasure.rigol.com it appears this might be a USA based Rigol location....
