For it´s price you can´t go wrong with it - But judge for yourself when it´s arrived.
And let us know...

Thanks, I will. I have a plan worked out to implement a much cheaper LA probe/lead set that uses a single PCB and lower cost components than the DIY one detailed in this forum. Estimated cost is about $20 in parts plus the cost of the PCB; maybe I'll start a new thread for it.

This will be a very good idea and if you doing it, I will take it to my rigol 5000 thread list..

Does MSO5000 support using a mouse for controlling it?

Probably yes. For the 7000 series, this is explicitly stated.
https://kr.rigolna.com/ds7000/

"Incorporating Touch, Traditional Button and Knob, Mouse/Monitor, Web Control and Remote Operation the 7000 Series Next Generation User Interface provides users 5 unique ways to interact with the instrument."

Customers requiring a larger display can take advantage of the native HDMI support to drive external displays and control the instrument with a mouse.

I can confirm this. My laptop uses a Logitech wireless mouse. I unplugged the USB receiver from the laptop, plugged it into the front USB port on the Rigol (MSO5074) and turned it on. The screen has a cursor and it is responsive to mouse input(!) That was too easy ... (power cycle is mandatory, it didn't work when I plugged the receiver in when the scope was on)

Wtf, this was it at all ?
Now I regret nothing.

Looks like a lot of use of the word optimize and no Bugfixes. No Bode plot either.

Martin72 · « **Reply #160 on:** February 27, 2020, 08:20:45 pm »

Bode Plot should come in may…….2019.
Hope for the owners, that the next fw will come very soon with lots of fixes and some benefits.

Actual only there, rigolna.com didn´t have it online.

tv84 · « **Reply #162 on:** February 27, 2020, 09:52:52 pm »

MSO7000 and 8000 also have new FWs...

Martin72 · « **Reply #163 on:** February 27, 2020, 10:52:01 pm »

Not surprising...

NoisyBoy · « **Reply #164 on:** February 27, 2020, 11:13:26 pm »

Does it even address any of the problems we identified in the MSO5000 bug topic?

I remember complaining about Rigol naming SPI signals with i2c signal names, not sure if this is the fix

NoisyBoy · « **Reply #166 on:** February 28, 2020, 07:46:03 am »

BTW, I don't see it on the EU Rigol site, can you please share the link?

skander36 · « **Reply #167 on:** February 28, 2020, 08:05:08 am »

It is labeled as v00.01.02.00.02 but the date is from older ver.
Btw. current ver. is shorter than las one (66MB vs 67MB) . Is better packed or they have removed some code ?

Thanks for the link, their website is so messed up. The webpage shows the update with a 8/22/19 date. When I unpack the file, it shows v00.01.02.00.02 2020/02/25.

Oddly, the update readme file completely skipped 04.08 and the handful of fixes in it, and Chinglish is back, I am trying to make sense out of a few of the changes:

- Optimized the connection HDMI start problem optimized the connection HDMI start problem (I presume it is related to HDMI output)
- Optimize the vertical gear, channel zero elimination error (No idea what they mean, what is channel zero and vertical gear, is it related to reducing the noise floor when there is no input)
- Zoom mode square wave display in optimized 2S time base (What is 2S time base, do they mean 2 second)

Even if we put aside how little it fixes, it is truly disappointing to see the level of care they put into the distribution and packaging of this fix.

The release notes are a copycat of the MSO8000 release notes.

Sighound36 installed the new FW in MSO8000 and noticed many improvements that are not listed in the release notes.

So, the 8000 notes are wrong or, the 5000 may also have some easter eggs.

Martin72 · « **Reply #172 on:** February 28, 2020, 09:01:56 pm »

Therefore someone should check up the list for improvements.
Rigol once told me, they knew this list.

NoisyBoy · « **Reply #173 on:** February 29, 2020, 08:21:17 am »

Thanks for the info, I can certainly use some pleasant surprise from Rigol these days.

I don't know if this is good news or not.
I am happy that there are improvements not listed but it gives us the impression of amateurism from Rigol....
Considering the work involved in fixing bugs, lsiting them properly is the least of things.

I can't wait to test all this but my MSO7000 has been going around for 6 days in Amsterdam so I think DHL has lost my package but I won't know until next week
