Here's how to enter FACTORY and MANAGER/REPAIR modes:
Prepare a USB stick:
1. Format as FAT32
3. Write the following string to disc sector 3 of the USB stick (I used HxD):
35O8O228OLO8LNMN9690217963MN2O9ON46O9P05975K0047
Plug USB stick into the RF generator
Now the following SCPI commands will work:
:PRIV:SOFT:MODE 0,FACTORYMODEENTRANCE
:PRIV:SOFT:MODE 0,REPAIRMODEENTRANCE
:PRIV:SOFT:MODE 0,MANAGERMODEENTRANCE
The first parameter (0) seems to be ignored.
MANAGER and REPAIR seem to be identical, but entering REPAIR doesn't require the USB stick.
The current mode can be verified with:
:PRIV:SOFT:MODE?
To return to USER mode, power cycle the device or use
:PRIV:SOFT:MODE 0,USERMODEENTRANCE
or
:PRIV:SOFT:MODE 0,EXITCURRENTMODE
Additional menus show up when in FACTORY/REPAIR/MANAGER mode:
Syst > Service
Syst > Service > Calibration
Syst > Service > RF DataSyn
Syst > License > Delete
I haven't dared to mess with settings in factory mode yet (like changing the model to DSG830). Don't blame me if you break your RF generator
And a little mystery: When triggering the check of the disk sector, an empty file with the name "LqepdclquJ.txt" is created on the USB stick.
Hi.
Brand new DSG800.
Having problems with SCPI commands.
Resulting timeout error:
* Error!!!
VISA: (Hex 0xBFFF0015) Timeout expired before operation completed.
Some command accepted without error like IDN? or TIME, DATE ecc.
Other are partially accepted like:
:PRIV:SOFT:MODE 0,REPAIRMODEENTRANCE
Still gives me error timeout but
:PRIV:SOFT:MODE? gives me the change from USER to REPAIR MODE
but other complex one like dump or FACTORYMODEENTRANCE or serial license install mode gives me error.
Have reinstalled VISA driver, tried different OS (Mac, windows) different programs (nc, ultrasigma, Bildschirmkopie), tried append /n /r /r/n /n/r command extended timeout without effort.
Any info that Rigol stopped SCPI advanced access or is it only my fault?
Any help?
Thanks all
