However it's easier if you guys just skype me, that's what a few people have been doing
There's 2 Main Issues that Get everyone
1. Make sure that your Scope is Set to COMPUTER for the USB Port,
if it's set to PictBridge and considering that the front USB is PictBridge, Your Scope wont detect
in the computer and you'll be scratching your head as to why
2. Putting the Scope into Firmware Update Mode is a little tricky and takes a correct explanation.
which is where skype comes in.
the answer to issues 1 is go to
UTILITY / IO SETUP / USB DEVICE Make sure the value says COMPUTER
the answer to 2 is
Start with Scope OFF
Now.. before switching it ON
Find the Power Button, DON'T PRESS IT YET, Put your left thumb on the power button
Now, with your Right Thumb find the ORANGE HELP Button, Put your thumb on it
Now.. Press the power button and STRAIGHT AWAY Press the HELP button,
don't wait to see the RIGOL screen
if you see the rigol screen you need to do it quicker
YOU WILL KNOW THAT YOU HAVE DONE IT CORRECTLY IF.......
the button in the top right corner labelled SINGLE Turns Solid Orange
that means the meter is upgrade Mode
Now pop in your USB stick and the CH 1 Button should flash Green
this indicates good communication with the USB Device and you just Wait 2 mins and it's done
