updating the firmware

My new DSO 201 was also delivered with v 4.30 and I played with it some days before upgrading to BenF’s 3.64.
What I remember:

  • below 10µs/div no stable trigger
  • wrong or no Measurement of frequency when >50kHz
  • no 5s/div or 10s/div range
  • small voltages shown as zero
  • negative voltages not shown
  • Linethickness not constant

With BenF 3.64 (patched version for ILI_9341 driver)

  • Trigger works better
  • displays exact frequency up to 500kHz (theoretical limit)
  • better resolution for voltage readout
  • Zero Cal is automatic and Cal is better in steps of 1LSB
  • less noise at 10mV/div due to Average mode
    There are countless improvements in BenF’s Firmware, please read the revisions.txt.

Personally I’m very happy with this upgrade, now it is a usable tool.
