content: I have a Siglent SDS2202X-E that is 5 months old. I have a question about the firmware version.If I go to the Siglent website I see the versions in the attachment available for downloadIf I go into the Utility menu on my scope it says the firmware is version 2.1.1.1.17R6. I don't see any version 2 downloads. I do see the 1.1.17R6 download.Does my scope have the latest firmware or is it actually the 3.27.19 version?

Added support for the SAG1021I USB Isolated AWG Module Hardware2. Fixed the bug: Sometimes PNSU command returns invalid value (Need referring to the latest Program Guide)3. Added 9 data bits for UART decoding4. Fixed the bug of UART decoder with some special settings5. Increased baud rate of UART trigger from 5 Mbps to 20 Mbps6. Fixed the bug: The command ‘WF? DAT2’returns error length of waveform when digital is enable7. Fixed the bug: CSV file of waveform has no indication of the trigger point in the data8. Fixed the bug: After repowering all FFT markers are on just one peak9. Fixed the bug: After repowering, signal level of CAN trigger can't be recalled10. Fixed a few SCPI Commands errors:MATH: CURSOR_VALUE?C3:INVERT_SET? is missingHISTORY_LIST? is missingDIGITAL:LOW8_SWICHT, typo in nameC5:COUPLING? typo in name11. Fixed the Bode Plot bug: Sometime there isn't enough delay after the scope switches timebase values before it tries to take a measurement12. Fixed the bug： Matlab can’ t import 14 M Matlab waveform files13. Fixed the bug：‘WF?’ command ignores the length set by ‘WFSU’ for digital

content: Thanks tautech. I downloaded the file. Now I have to try to find a manual for the scope and figure out how to update it.Ray

content: I found the manual and followed the instructions to upgrade the firmware.I selected the file and pressed the "Press to Update" button. After a few seconds the scope said "Firmware decompressed. Press restart and wait...". I don't have a restart button and none of the buttons on the scope will respond.What next? I don't think I want to power down do I?

If all is OK power OFF again (soft OFF) and reboot and run Autocal if the total ON time has been some 30 mins and the scope is good and warm.

content: Tautech, I let it sit for a couple of hours. Then I held the power button down until it shut down. When it came back up it said to press the Single key to self calibrate. I pressed the key and it took a couple of minutes to calibrate. After it finished I pressed the Run/Stop key to exit.I then checked the firmware version. It now says Software Version 1.1.19 R5 so I guess everything is good.Thanks for your help.Ray
