 Hello everyone welcome back to my channel. This is another hack for the Vigil DP832 programmable power supply and unlike the other ones you don't have to use the jog dial and prep around with a whole bunch of characters. This one is an easy enough one as long as you can go and get the resources from where they are. So we want to be able to take a peek at this link here. This is from the good guys at the EEV blog forum and so if we were to click on there which we're gonna do here and you're gonna open the link there and we're gonna take a little peek at what we're gonna do. Now this doesn't put us directly into the place we need to be so we need to go up a little bit. Let's have a look and then about here. So as we can see here look we can see the DP800 series needs this little bit of code here so when we need it we're gonna copy and paste this but before we do that we're just gonna look down the bottom and we're gonna see this thing here called the Vigil Key Zip. Now you need to click on that and download it to a folder. Maybe you just create a folder on your desktop call it Vigil Color Screen Pack or something and just pop that in there for now. It's a zip file so you're gonna have to have the ability to unzip it and there are also RA files and so the ability to unpack the RA files packages and for that I use 7-zip myself because it covers all these different types of compression. Once you have that you've got your zip down you're gonna need a USB key blank formatted FAT32. The smaller key you can get the better rubbed it's got a standard pen drive it's 16 gigabytes I didn't have to modify it or anything I just like I say I just formatted it FAT32 and when we've done that the file that you're gonna find inside this is not this. The file that you find inside here when you've unpacked it is this rival key and you need to be able to disk image need to be able to put that image onto the drive all right you can't just copy it across to the drive that's not gonna work you're gonna need to use a little bit of software and I use this piece software called disk imager because it's very very simple to use and we're gonna go through that so that's a little bit of software you can just download it's free it works only windows as I don't have your notice this is my windows partition not Linux and it only works in the windows 11 10 8 7 and incredibly vista download that put into the same folder if you want to it's not a installation file it's a run from the double-clicking on it and you can also want the Ultra Sigma software and you gonna get that from wrigel itself so if I've used wrigel.eu and you can just type into if you wish your favorite search engine just wrigel ultra sigma software download and it should probably bring you here if you get this because I'm showing you on this if you get to see the wrigel.eu click on that one because it'll bring us straight to this page and what we want to do is just look down and you'll see all sorts of software for right from wrigel to help people so we're going to be looking for this Ultra Sigma PC installer now you can get the help document if you like but if you're just going to be doing this one thing with it well I'm trying to bypass all that for you and just make it easier for you so if you download this but put it in the same folder again once again it is an installer this one you do install it if we look these are recently added out of the Ultra Sigma will come and I max I've not used that I've just used the Ultra Sigma I didn't need the tools or anything like that I just use the Ultra Sigma and I show you how you can do that in a moment so you've downloaded the Ultra Sigma and you've put it through and you've installed it all right you may need to put some dotnet runtime 2 3 in there and it'll tell you if you need to do that and once you've done that you'll reboot them your machine and then we are going to look at what we need to put together now so we've used we're going to use our disk installer which if I can just go back to where that is we're going to use the disk installer disk imager sorry oh that's the zipped that's the zipped one we don't want that just go back disk imager once we've unpacked it and we can just click on that and say yes we're going to use it and up it will come here now I don't have my actual I don't have my actual key pen key pen drive in the back in the this computer at the moment I've already got this removable drive here it will format for you it will wipe off everything off that drive so make sure you're going to use the relevant drive and like I say I've used the pen drive say get 16 gigs in the back of the wrigel you'll find your file and that will be the wrigel key you'll tell it then that you want to put it on there and then you can write the image to this now I'm not going to write over this because that's got all the information I had for this particular thing on there but you just write image to disk you'll warn you twice about do you really want to do this just say yes and say yes again and then you're done you've got the image on your pen drive which is brilliant so now once the image is on the pen drive we're going to open up the ultra sigma it's just going to open up and it's going to look like this now you must have I suppose I should add this now you must have a wire in the back of your wrigel going into your router or however it is you're showing across your network it needs to be in there because we need to be able to access it now it's simple enough the default settings in your router it will be an automatic setup for your IP address okay it'll use a DHP server and it'll be ultra easy for it so once you've connected on there you will see yourself on here it's searching for a LAN instrument so we just click on the LAN at a moment mine's not on so it's not going to come up with this but what you'll have is there'll be a the IP address that you'll find online if this just makes anything easier the IP address and then you'll just put add you can test it see if it gets response and you just get out now as mine is on I can do a test here now Pete please input the IP address if I just get rid of this for a second and go back to this land please input IP address first yeah don't know why it's doing that get out of that for a second exit the ultra sigma and just go back into the ultra-sigma okay file initialization now okay because it's DHCP it may redo that it may allocate it another number but I'm gonna try and see if I can put this in where I think mine was I think you could win 103 actually let's do a test no that it would have come up already insufficient location information okay let me just look on my power supply then just to see what's going on inside here input output config LAN and there's my mines 101 you see all right then we're gonna test that test successful now you can add modified instruments resources now because you've got your power supply on now now is the time where you're gonna plug in that pen key into the back of your power supply I read in the form that if you do it before it's not gonna work but now you can do that so we're gonna say test and then we're gonna add so it's added the instrument we're gonna say okay now you're gonna see it here mine or it actually says the DP a 3 2 a already because I've told it it's an 8 3 2 a and because the hardware is the same it's just a software crippled or software restricted that's what we're doing we're just changing the just changing that a little bit so we're gonna do it right click on there and then we're gonna get the SPI panel and in here you'll see there's already a part of a command but we just gonna ignore that for a second and we're gonna go back to our website that link I provided and where I highlighted it we're just gonna do a copy control V on this because it doesn't seem to work if you try and do it I'll show you if you try and do a copy a right click do a copy well I say it didn't work it doesn't matter I did a control V anyway on mine so and then we're gonna go into our command and we're gonna just type in oh just make sure you could get rid of all this and then we're gonna go V their control V so it's control C for copy control V for paste right and then we're gonna send the command if I send the command I don't think anything's really gonna happen just because mine's already set like that anyway anyway it says that it's set the model to the DP 8 3 2 a and now all you've got to do now is just switch off the power supply switch it back on again we can close all this down and you will be successfully changed there is now a color screen and we're all good how do you swap it back to monochrome not sure yet I'm gonna go start a look around to do that just so I've got a you know I'm sure there's gonna be there's plenty of commands when you look at the the scp I stuff but I wouldn't play around with it I'm just suggesting you can do this to change from the monochrome to the color screen which does look quite splendid we turn all those on that's quite nice yeah so there you go that's how you can just upgrade if you want to call it an upgrade to the color screen from Rigel DP 8 3 2 a let me just make sure I'm not left anything out so I haven't left anything out that's it that's all you got to do all right so you don't have to go searching for all the threads to find this little piece here as long as you do that you know you can unpack like the raw file the utility to this utility is a raw file just unpack it seven zip covers everything if you want to do that within Windows it's great if you got this far room you can always rewind if you need to go over the it again but if you got this far cheers for watching guys and happy hacking
