content: I'm just curious if anyone here has upgraded firmware in the InfiniiVision DSOX 2000/3000 oscilloscope to v 2.10?For me it rufuses to install with the message "Error: The file did not load correctly",previous versions work just fine but not this latest - which is necessary for the DVM module (and other new features and future upgrades)...It's been out for a month now and they haven't released a fixed one - so I'm wondering if there's something dodgy about my scope.http://www.home.agilent.com/agilent/editorial.jspx?cc=SE&lc=swe&ckey=2014479&nid=-33575.0.00&id=2014479(yes - I've tried other usb-sticks too)

content: Several times, on two different computer (or possibly three even), in both firefox and internet explorer (thinking one might not go into binary mode properly).This is odd... why do the older versions work and not this one?Do you have a 2000 or 3000? Mine's a 2012...

content: I just updated my DSOX 3014 to the latest version and it worked ok. I was worried about how long it took - I think it was 30+ mins - as I thought I'd killed it!peter

content: Yepp I tried restoring factory defaults - didn't help...Next to it I noticed 'Secure Erase' and thought I'd give it a try - and it did!!Now running 2.20 WOHOOOOThe manual says "This performs a secure erase of all non- volatile memory in compliancewith National Industrial Security Program Operation Manual (NISPOM)Chapter 8 requirements." about the feature... not sure why that would help but it did....Thanks for the tip which made me try it one last timeNot even Agilent didn't know what the problem was...Cheers guys.

content: What if I buy this scope with WaveGen and DVM forfreeand then I perform the firmware upgrade??Won't the WaveGen and DVM be removed due to the new firmware? I hope that not.What do you think?

content: Does the Agilent DSOX2000 series have an alternate trigger function? It would be useful for stable display of two signals with a bit different frequency... I would expect something like this.

content: When there is no alternate trigger, it looks like this. One of the traces is unstable!

content: Quote from: Hydrawerk on March 06, 2013, 06:51:13 pmYou mean alternate channel trigger, which I don't think the DSOX-series have. At least I can't find such a function. I'm afraid Baliszoft is referring to the "alternating edge" trigger. Though I'd be glad if I'm wrong

content: One Agilent distributor told me, that the DSOX-2000 series now has 100kpoints memory for each channel instead of 50kpoints per channel Can this be true? I couldn't find this anywhere else. The datasheet still says 50kpoints per channel.
