content: I recently purchased the Rigol DG1022Z function generator. It has a bandwith of 25MHz and so far, it has worked perfectly for my needs. Mostly out of curiosity, is there a hack to upgrade the bandwidth on the generator up to the 60MHz of the 1000$ 1062Z?Here is the listing on the rigol site:https://www.rigolna.com/products/waveform-generators/dg1000z/-Dub

content: I wondered the same thing. I have a DG4062 and a DG1022Z, apart from a few button differences and the fact that the DG1022Z screen is about 1/4 the size of the DG4062, the functionality is almost identical between them.That makes me wonder if Bandgap's work herehttps://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/dg4000-a-firmware-investigation/100/is relevant? Perhaps someone could try to insert the DG1022Z model and serial number and see if the compile works? When I tried this for my 4062, I could not make the online compiler work.Perhaps we could ask Bandgap to get involved?Having said that, as far as I can tell, all you would gain is higher frequency sine waves and a deeper AWG memory, I haven't needed either yet.

content: You can hack the DG1022Z to 1062Z the same way a DP832 can be upgraded to DP832AYou need to enter telnet command and have a USB flash driver with a file on itI used the Rigol Bildschirmkopie Tool to do so, but CMD works as well with telnethttp://peter.dreisiebner.at/rigol-bildschirmkopie/index.htmI tried Bildschirmkopie only via Network, maybe someone makes it work with USB, but this needs correct IVI drivers to send commandsStep 1Activate Telnet in your windows features and restart PCStep 2connect the function generator to the networkcheck if connection is good with pingalso a firewall may cause problems even with ping working, the DG1022Z I could only get sent SCPI commands on a very old standalone PC in my basement shopstep 3get a FAT formatted USB stick and write the keyfile.bin in the main directoryhttps://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/need-help-hacking-dp832-for-multicolour-option/?action=dlattach;attach=696567Step 4 with Bildschirmkopie- start it- ctrl+E to do a search on the network and connect the Rigol device- search for devices and choose the one you want to unlock- open SCPI commands- check device signature- send SCPI command with new Model name- reboot device and check again device signaturestep 4 with cmd- start telnettelnet  5555- same commands as with Bildschirmkopie to write new device number

content: I got this to work using telnet commands, it's explained here for the DP832 and DG1022Zhttps://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/need-help-hacking-dp832-for-multicolour-option/msg2470974/#msg2470974

content: Hi to allI use the above info to "upgrade" a DG1030Z to 1062 successfully. I am wondering now if it is a good idea to upgrade the firmware from 00.01.11 to the latest v03.01.12.00.00 downloaded from Rigol site. Is the 1062 will be still running? Have anyone try it ?Regards Nick

content: Hi everyone,I was trying to update my DG1032Z to DG1062Z but I couldn't because always the "error generated by remote interface command" message appeared. Finally I had success! The problem has that I was using incorrect USB pen drive format, I've tried with FAT, FAT32 but nothing worked until use FAT format specifying Allocation unit size to 512 bytes I did on windows 10 [ CRLT + R, CMD, format x: /fs:FAT /v:rigol /A:512 ] reemplace x with your volumen label (I used a 2gb pen drive). Thank you very much to everyone!.

content: Should you enter your own serial number again after ":PROJ:STAT MODEL,DG1062Z " or rather at ":PROJ:STAT SN,DG1ZA000000000" ?
