content: i'm developing my PC software to capture data from Rigol DSO through USB cable. i heard there's different respond between older and newer FW version. so in order my software to work with many FW version i need help from Rigol1052E/1102E owners here to do the test program below and send or PM me the result. its a simple test to send some commands that will be displayed in textbox with its result. the setup:1) download, unzip and run the program below (tester.zip)2) turn your Rigol DSO ON, and connect the USB cable to PC.3) turn on channel1. turn off channel24) click auto test in the test program5) wait until msgbox appear saying test completed (this should take only few seconds)6) copy pasted the result in textbox to some file and send (attach here or PM) to me.you can delete your serial number in the first line, i only need your FW version (2.02, 2.04, 2.05 etc)you can also make another test with both channel turned ON.you also can to not do this test and keep quietthanks and hope some input.pls note at the end of the test, the program will reset your dso memory depth setting to normal and trigger in "running" mode

content: ok thanx for your FW00.02.04.01.02 report T16! i forgot to include one test. but can be done in the same test tool, type in (or copy this) in the smaller textbox below the larger textbox::CHAN1:DISP 0:CHAN1:DISP 1:CHAN1:DISP OFF:CHAN1:DISP ONand press manual test button. to turn on or off your channel1. i want to check if all the 4 commands variation work or only the 1st two commands? thanks. i would love to hear from FW2.05 but i guess its the same. so far i only know two variation::CHAN1:DISP? -> ON ... and:CHAN1:DISP? -> 1

content: PM sent with my results.BTW, my scope will respond to ":chan1:disp off" but not ":chan1:disp on". Yes, I mean in lower case. If I change the "on" to "ON" it works.Yes, I did all the test properly as requested in upper case.
