Hi Guys,
Firstly my apologies for my long absence (A Lot of has happened, Family Issues, People passing away etc) Sometimes life just deals you a really crap hand that lasts for a very long time.
What do you do.
ANYWAY, I'M BACK! (And happy to help anyone who needs a hand through the upgrade process)
Moving forward...
I've read the entire topic over again to catch up and seen that some of you needed my help, Again apologies, but i'm glad you guys ended up upgrading your scope.
I think it's been 10 years since my DS2000A Purchase .
I WANT TO TRY AND UPGRADE MY SCOPE FROM MY SCOPES CURRENT VERSION 00.02.01 TO THE LATEST VERSION 03.06.00.00I can confirm that
- My scope was unlocked 1 year ago with the full options and 300MHz Bandwidth Successfully (as per the first post on this topic).
- Currently my scope is on the following version (Same as 1 year ago)
SYSTEM INFORMATION
-------------------------------------------------------
Manufacturer: Rigol Technologies
Model: DS2302A
Serial: DS2D160000000
Software Version:
00.02.01 Hardware Version: 2.0
-------------------------------------------------------
I am currently planning on updating through 11 Versions to see if they all retain the software unlock options.
I plan to go through all the versions 1 by 1 (The idea is to the confirm that they can all be upgraded without losing the options)
NOTE : I do not know if you can upgrade straight from 00.02.01 to 03_06_00_00, I'm going through them incrementally 1 by 1.
I OBTAINED THE FILES FROM THIS URL.

I have attached
- A Photo of the options After the first upgrade to version 00.03.00 to show they have been preserved
- A Photo of the upgrade screen at version 00.03.00
I have not bothered to upload each and every version picture , However
- A Photo of the last Upgrade , The Options list has been preserved at Version 00.03.06
- A Photo of the upgrade screen at Version 00.03.06
IN SUMMARY - So long as the scope is unlocked , it appears that you can upgrade through all the upgrade versions without losing the installed Options.
I didn't have any problems other than 1.
Initially i used a USB Stick that was 16GB and formatted FAT32, this didn't detect.
I then changed to a USB Stick that was 8GB and formatted FAT32 and this worked without a problem
So Guys, Feel free to upgrade to the latest version
Lastly, of course i did a restart
and i did a system calibration
