content: Quote from: illyesgeza on May 02, 2013, 01:04:29 pmWhat is your HW version and what it was before version 5.xxxI have 3.01.01.31R17 as topic read CNL model.But now careful!If you are really sure you want do it, I can PM link to you for this file.(you know, after new FW published Siglent take old out from share - think it)I do not know if it can downgrade bac to old!If you do it, you do it with alone and understand that I do not give any sign that it can do.Only what I can say is that I do not recommend.What is problem with new FW?This was installed by factory or you upgrade?If you have upgraded it, did you follow upgrade instructions --- exactly.(procedure have changed after 3.xxx versions (user manual is old), now it is 2 phase process, first upgrade .ADS and after shut off take USB out, reboot, put USB back and upgrade .CNF. Instructions file is in upgrade package.)

content: I have an ATTEN ADS1102CAL dsoI have updated with the latest firmware from SiglentIn two steps as you (rf-loop) mentionated.In the second step is a .CFG file not .CNFWhy I did it?It has some problems:1.) some garbidge pixels in ETS mode2.) sometimes not triggering well (not at all)I have read that the latest Siglent upgrade will solve the problemsAnd this is true, now I don't have those problemsNow the main problem is the USB link with the EasyScope 3 program.And the PRINT button use for saveing .CSV or .DAV filesI can save only .BMP files when I push the PRINT button.It can't be configure for .CSV or .DAV filesThat's allIf you can help me with the 3.01.01.31R17 it would be great.Why do you think it won't work ?

content: Quote from: illyesgeza on May 02, 2013, 05:22:02 pmOk, is this this kind of case.There is PM for 31R17 download link for Siglent CNL mode old FW. (not know if it can use for go back from new version to old. Look first carafully if there can find other solutions for solve problems)(and sorry for .CFG/.CNF is just mean configuration file but remember wrong these letters "my old memory where best before date have been long time ago")I'm not sure about this but I think it do not work with EasyScope 3.Have you see if you have USB mode selection "Printer", "Computer", "USBTMC"Perhaps you do not have "Computer" selection anymore?(In original Siglent I have only Printer and USBTMC selection.)USBTMC need (afaik) National Instruments Ni-VISA. (need dowload from National Instruments)(also now there is SCPI commands, User manual for these (explanations and syntax) is also in new scopes CD)(and then EasyScopeX, It is shipped with new versions scopes CD and there is not anymore these USB drivers what have been before)

content: HW version read on your oscilloscope TFT.Just screen where you see Model, FW version and HW version and serial number and how many times it have power up.What HW version it tell?You tell that EasyScope 3 do not work.Perhaps you can try Ni-VISA and just for test USB communication. Give command *IDN? ("who are you?") and then if all ok it answer. But you need yourself study how it works. (I have not checked this but Ibelievethis can do directly with Ni-Visa alone)With new Siglent scopes where is FW 5.xxxxxxx there come EasyScopeX and itneedNi-VISA (and this is not shared by Siglent but it is free downloadable from National Instruments) and it is best to have Ni-Visa installed before install EasyScopeX. (and better if before all first remove all old easyscope and usb driver versions.)

content: I know the method to downgrade the firmware DSO ADS1102CAL - it FLASH programming via the JTAG port on the device. I am able to read it \ write, but not quite figured out the device and the decoding of the file update. I achieved success by 80%. There was an area of ??roughly 1.5 MByte you want to understand what and how to write out a software update. This requires software images of living ADS1102CAL/SDS1102CNL/DS1102e. Read the firmware is simple - you just have one of the supported programmers (http://www.topjtag.com/flash-programmer/) and a little time .....The result of my work is the software that will decode the file update from the software image to flash in FLASH. This will not only reduce the version of the software, but also to restore the dead device after updating the "wrong software", modify ADS1102Cal in SDS1102CNL (solve many bugs model ATTEN) and much more ....If anyone is interested in my project - send me a personal message, we will work together on promoting it! I need help with the "working image of the software."

content: can anybody confirm that the easyscopeX or easyscope3 program is working with the SIGLENT SDS1102CML on WIN7 32bitSIGLENT adviced me to try with NI-VISA on WIN7 64bitI told that is not an option because a lots of old programs don't work on WIN7 64bitMy realy problem is that I can't download from the SDS1102CML in longmem mode all the dataI am using the command WAVEFORM_SETUP, WFSU of the "Remote Control Manual SDS1000 Series Oscilloscopes"WFSU NP,65536C1:WF?the command return 64k of data but only 20480 bytes are realy valid (the rest is 00)in the command WFSU NP stands for number of pointsBUT !!! NP can't be more than 20480 or (40960 in case of 500MS/s)The only way to get the whole longmem (2Mb) data is to store it on a memory stick in .CSV format and after that to import the data from that deviceThe .DAV format return only 20480 or 40960 bytes no matter if longmem is selected or not

content: Quote from: TV-Repairman on July 10, 2018, 02:36:40 pmWelcome to the forum.All firmware updates carry some risk but I have done many hundreds without mishap.The last version for SDS1102CNL (not later Plus version) was 5.01.02.32 and it's still available from Siglent's factory website page.http://www.siglentamerica.com/USA_website_2014/Firmware&Software/firmware/SDS1000CNL_SSP_V100R005B01D02P32%20(3).rarThere are earlier versions still available too, you can find the one above here and earlier on older pages:http://www.siglent.com/ENs/gjjrj.aspx?id=15&page=8Come back to us if you need further guidance.
