Here it is

Fennec, does it need to be unzipped or just have the file extension .zip removed?
Best to be clear about this.

Viewed the file in a hex viewer... it most likely needs unzipping. The hex of the unzipped file makes sense, it has some blocks of empty memory and some sort of binary structures on it. The zip file looks so random it might as well be used as a noise source.

I don't think this is the case. I believe Fennec probably added the .zip extension to allow uploading to this forum.
The .ADS extension is not permitted to be uploaded here, but is correct for a Siglent firmware file that have been unzipped.
However it is best to wait for confirmation.

Just because I was curious I downloaded and it unzips fine to a 1,034,700 bytes long file.
So it's Zipped.

Hi,

yes you have to unzip the file. Sry for the bad filename.

Hi,

I seem to be unable to upgrade my SDG1025 from 1.01.01.31R2 to *.37R2.

I've downloaded SDG1000-V100R001B01D01P37R2.ADS from the Siglent site and put it on FAT formatted USB memory. To update, I select Utility -> Page 2 -> Update (it switches to Store/Recall), then select the ADS file and press "Recall". It tells me: "Choice valid update file". (nice english

Anyone know what's wrong?
Hopefully I can skip from .31R2 to .37R2 without doing al the intermediate updates?

Thanks for tips,

pit

@0xPIT

Pls can you upload the file. I can't login there.

0xPIT · « **Reply #84 on:** March 22, 2015, 06:53:51 pm »

sure, here it is.

nctnico · « **Reply #85 on:** March 22, 2015, 07:33:01 pm »

IMHO Siglent should remove the login crap from their Chinese website. I never managed to log in and therefore look for updates on siglentamerica.com.

Any idea what was changed from the previous version to this version 1.01.01.37.2?

I couldn't find any real information about this on the website.

Recently Siglent have starting including changelogs with their FW.
You'll have to unzip it and look through the accompanying notes/install guides

0xPIT · « **Reply #88 on:** March 22, 2015, 08:56:33 pm »

yes, I unzipped first, and no, there are no release notes in the package.

OK, just done my SDG1010 to check for you......
Your USB drive MUST have NO other files on it.

Mine was updated from a quite old version, no problems.

Thanks. Works. Was a bit of a hassle, as Mac OS writes a lot of stuff to the disk

Fennec · « **Reply #91 on:** March 22, 2015, 09:30:07 pm »

Same here. Updated with no problems after delete the other files on the stick.. But my serial number is gone now. Sems to be a bug in the Firmware.

Serial Number info is the last on that page at the bottom.
Is there any symbols/numbers showing at all?

Try re-applying the update.

If you have no luck I will point Siglent to your posts.

Fennec · « **Reply #95 on:** March 23, 2015, 01:09:01 am »

I have downgrade it and update again. Same, serial number is gone.

@Fennec
Can you confirm your AWG is a Siglent?
If is is a LeCroy, this will be the reason the SN has disappeared from the EditInfo screen.
But you should still have the SN on the case, right?

Siglents reply to me after I pointed them to your post:

This because the customer flashed the Lecroy firmware, it does not match SDG1000 series and will lose the SN.
But they are still under warranty if the SN on the back is still there.
Of course the SN in the system menu can only be recover by our factory.

Fennec · « **Reply #97 on:** March 24, 2015, 06:12:36 pm »

Yes, I am sure that it is a Siglent, because I can read.

Siglent is a juice shop, not more. They tell me, I have tryed to flash the lecroy firmware, because his firmware is perfect 100% and it can't make any issues !

So okay, it's my fault, because I buyed a crappy cheap Siglent.

And I should send this $US250 crap back to china now ? What kind of stuff they smoke ?

@Fennec
Siglent's reply demonstrates they think your AWG is a LeCroy because of the thread YOU have posted in.
Your images did not clearly show the label on your AWG.
There are many members that DO NOT think the SDG1000 series are substandard, I'm sorry you think this way.
I will again point Siglent to your post in order to help you.
Good luck with this level of support if you get something else.

I know that in some cases with some previous FW and HW combination, updating FW may destroy system display serial number. I have been there... I have seen this happend in real world with my own eyes and I know sure it can happend with original Siglent FW update with Siglent SDG1000 series equipment what never have seen any LeCroy branded FW. Long time ago also Siglent have answered to me about this kind of situation and they really know it.
"Fennec" unit serial is SDG00003120xxx (manufactured 2012)
