content: I just updated my DS1054Z to the latest firmware last night (v00.04.04.SP4 at the time of this writing) as I had not done it since I first purchased it in early July 2016. The "Pluses" spelling error appears to be corrected on this version.

content: I have 1 too that is around 2 years old, I am sure! I have never updated it although I have threatened to on a few occasions. It is something I need to do so I might just do it over the weekend and that will be it done. Is it still the same process as described on the 1054z update thread on this forum?Thanks

content: now they want to register...https://int.rigol.com/SUPPORTS/software-firmware-download_3.htmltheir rigolna web doesnt need registrament but took ages and keep cutting download line...https://www.rigolna.com/firmware/i believe you can directly upgrade from ver1 to this ver4 directly, no need intermediate upgrade. btw, pulses on the left side menu was fixed by earlier version, its just pluses on the measurement output at the bottom screen that was not.

content: After the upgrade and reboot you should probably do a Self Calibration - Utility -> 2d Page -> Self CalYou should allow the scope to come up to temperature - about 1/2 hour according to the manualDon't forget to remove the probes - although, the scope will remind you, it's hard to overlook
