Series Instruments

Versions: 10.5.3

Last Revised: December 22, 2016

Compatible Products: DPO7054C, DPO7104C, DPO7254C, DPO7354C

Software Description

--------------------

This firmware version is for scopes running Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit).

It includes the following updates:

- Support for service and manufactoring to increase yield

It contains general bug fixes, and resolves the following customer-reported

issues:

- TPP probe compensation fails on MSO/DPO5000-series scopes

- TCP0030/A series probes' vertical scale Range selection is incorrect

for MSO/DPO5000-series scopes

Installation Notes

------------------

- This firmware version is not intended for products running Windows

XP, i.e. DPO7000 products.

- Version 10.5.3 is intended for all other scope models shown in the

Compatible Products list above.

- An all in one deployment package is available for download,

which contains this new firmware and updated optional

applications. This deployment package significantly

simplifies the installation of new software. With this

package, you can perform one download and ensure that you

have all the latest software for your scopes. The

installation of the deployment package takes about 30-45

minutes and must not be interrupted until it has completed

the installation of all software.

Initial Turn-on for Standalone Instruments

------------------------------------------

After receipt of a new oscilloscope or the installation of a new

release of software, to ensure peak oscilloscope performance, run Signal

Path Compensation (SPC) after the recommended warm up time has passed.

The SPC item is located in the Utilities menu listed as Instrument

Calibration....

All probes should also be re-calibrated - see Vertical -> Probe Cal...

When a new release of instrument software is installed, some

application software packages must also be updated and installed

separately by the user. If you install the deployment package, the

latest version of applications will be installed with the firmware.

This release supports English only in the scope's graphical user

interface (GUI).

Main Oscilloscope Application

-----------------------------

The main oscilloscope application is critical to the operation of

the instrument as an oscilloscope or as a PC. The application is

expected to be running at all times. Even when minimized on the

Windows taskbar, oscilloscope error messages, notifiers, etc. are

always posted to the desktop. The only time you should exit the main

oscilloscope application is to install other software packages.

Activating Options

------------------

Some options such as extended memory or advanced analysis and

application software are factory installed. If you ordered these

options from the factory, they are already enabled and ready for

you to use.

If you would like to upgrade your oscilloscope to include one of

these options, contact your local Tektronix representative. Once

the purchase transaction is complete, you will be given a new

Option Installation Key that you can enter to enable the desired

options. Refer to the Option documentation for detailed

instructions.

Reverting to an Earlier Version of Firmware

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Reverting to a version of scope firmware earlier than V10.3.3 first

requires a system restore operation, which will re-install the

firmware version originally shipped with the instrument.

Customers can then download the most-recent prior version of firmware

from the Tektronix web site at http://www.tek.com/downloads.

Setting Trigger Level to 50%

----------------------------

Occasionally, getting the proper trigger edge placement may

require more than one press of the Set to 50% button.

Saving and Recalling Bus Channel Threshold Values

-------------------------------------------------

Recalling a system setup file that contains non-default bus channel

threshold values may not restore the expected threshold values. It is

more likely to happen after restoring different system setup files,

mixed with defaulting the system setup. The correct values can be set

through either the GUI or the remote programmable interface (PI).

A-B Seq Trigger Reset Timer

---------------------------

The Trigger Reset Timer may default back to 1 Msec upon

selecting the Select Trigger -> A-B Seq Tab.

Envelope or Average Mode with Line Trigger

------------------------------------------

To ensure proper waveform display when using Envelope or

Average acquisition mode with Line trigger source, turn off

Enhanced Triggering in the Trigger Setup control panel.

LRN Command

-----------

Rather than use the LRN command to restore factory settings, recall

a default setup instead.

Windows Clipboard Limitations

-----------------------------

The size of waveforms copied to the clipboard when using the

Edit->Copy or Ctrl-C key is limited to the size of the Windows

clipboard. Therefore, waveforms with a large record length will

not fit on the clipboard. A notifier will warn you in this case.

The size of the clipboard is determined by the Windows operating

system. File Export is recommended for transferring large

waveform records.

Windows Access Control Limitations

----------------------------------

LXI operation requires specific User Account Control (UAC) settings to work

properly because it needs access control to change the network parameter

configuration. To change the user account settings select

Start -> Control Panel. Then, click on User Accounts followed by

Change User Account Settings. Change the settings to either Never Notify

or Notify me only when programs try to make changes to my computer.

PC Hardware and Software Compatibility

--------------------------------------

DPO series oscilloscopes are sophisticated, highly integrated

hardware and software systems. The oscilloscope is dependent on

the specific version of the PC motherboard and Windows operating

system installed at the factory. Any changes to any of the PC hardware

or the Windows operating system will affect the performance of the

instrument. Do not attempt to modify or update any of the PC

hardware, Windows 7 operating system components, or BIOS settings

unless instructed to do so by Tektronix.

Power Configuration & Settings

------------------------------

Tektronix recommends that you not modify the power-related settings

in either the BIOS or the Power Management areas of Windows 7. They

are set at the factory to a configuration that is optimal for the

instrument. Changing these settings can prevent the oscilloscope

from operating properly.

Verifying That Your Oscilloscope s Disk Drive is Fully Expanded

---------------------------------------------------------------

You should always check that the disk drive is fully expanded after

performing an Operating System (OS) restore. If the disk has an issue,

a 160 GB hard drive may show no available disk space and appear to be

only 80 GB.

Perform the following steps to fix the issue with NO DATA LOSS:

1. On the desktop, right click on the computer ICON

2. Select Manage

3. Click on Disk Management

4. In the lower part of the window where you can see (C:) Healthy

(Boot, Page File, etc.), you may also see a large unallocated

partition next to it.

5. Right click in the C:\ partition and select Extend Volume to

restore the unallocated partition to the C:

6. Follow the Wizard prompts

Network Security

----------------

Windows 7 contains an integrated software firewall that is enabled

by default. The enabled Windows 7 firewall may provide some protection

from Network worm-type viruses.

Anti-virus Protection

--------------------

If you connect this instrument to a network, we highly recommend

that you install antivirus software. Prior to leaving Tektronix,

this instrument was verified clean of known viruses.

Adobe Reader

------------

The Adobe Reader auto-update option is set to check for updates weekly.

To disable this auto-update option, complete the following steps:

1. After Adobe Reader is installed, launch the application.

2. From the menu, Edit->Preferences for Updates...

3. Uncheck the "Automatically check for Adobe updates" option.

4. Click OK.

5. After the update finishes, install any updates or select Cancel.

Product Upgrades

----------------

From time to time Tektronix releases new versions of the product

software or optional application software. Customers can download

these from the Tektronix web site at http://www.tek.com/downloads.

Be sure to read the This SW Applies To: list of instruments to

be sure your model is listed.

Service Packs and Critical patches from Microsoft made available

during the development of the operating system for this instrument

were tested and included by Tektronix. Service Packs and Critical

patches released after the development of the operating system are

tested on an as needed basis by Tektronix.

following URL: http://www.tek.com/rss/.

Remote PC Control Software Support

----------------------------------

This oscilloscope series supports Microsoft Remote Desktop. For

proper display functionality, the remote viewer should have its

resolution set to 1024 X 768 or full screen. Other settings may

cause display artifacts.

The keyboard Print Screen key may also be used to capture a full

screen shot of the display.
