content: Hi all. I bought myself an oscilloscope SIGLENT SDS1202 CNL+. I looked at the information about the device. Tell me, is this the latest firmware? Is there a newer version?

content: Quote from: asupsp700 on October 02, 2023, 09:10:06 amI think it is ok (based to siglent side) but there is bit weird version numbering... perhaps you can wait bitETA: Please look also this oscilloscope nameplate. 2GSa/s !! What is going on...And FW version number... on display. What is this? It is 2.06.02.19Can you translate this screen text to english or change oscilloscope language to english and then new imageETA2: In China Siglent Headquarter side: SDS1000CNL+ last FW version is： V6.01.01.21R2date 2020-06-03 But this need look carefully because now I do not know if this FW is localised to China.

content: Yes it looks like there is some differences between area in world. Example Siglent HQ side for China there datasheet do not display this 1202CNL+ at all. Also in Europe, least I have never meet SDS1202CNL+ 2GSa/sSDS1000CNL+ series FW is in Siglent Europe side and just as @tautech told. Also it is from 2015.But when look this .ADS file name there is not this + (if compare to CML+ FW .ADS file name there is + for + models for separate from OLD CML without +)But also in these older times informations about FW versions was somehow more messed up than today models... so it well possible this is just ok.If use this now available:"SDS1000CNL+ Series Digital Storage Oscilloscopes (Discontinued)FirmwareSDS1000CNL Firmware - 5.01.02.32 (Release Date 07.09.15 )"Perhaps it is ok, but if this is my own case... I will wait more info. (There is now several days holidays in China so can not ask from HQ)

content: Quote from: asupsp700 on October 02, 2023, 11:21:47 amThis I doubt, only with bug fixes.When we look at HQ website, 200 MHz SDS1202CNL+ is indeed 2 GSa/s but only with 40 kPts mem depth, like all other CNL+ models.https://int.siglent.com/products-overview/sds1000cnl/HQ firmware pagehttps://int.siglent.com/download/firmwares/?ProId=41Also lists 5.01.02.32 firmware.https://int.siglent.com/upload_file/zip/firmware/Oscilloscope/SDS1000CML_SSP_V100R005B01D02P32.zipHowever it is interesting the above is listed as 5.01.02.32 CML firmware but I do not think this is an error as some recovery packages we have can be used for CNL and CML models.Therefore I believe 5.01.02.32 firmware is correct for SDS1202CNL+.If not the checksum should reject installation.

content: Are you telling me that I won't break my oscilloscope if I try to install the wrong firmware? Will the bootloader check the checksum and if it does not match, will it stop the firmware process?
