Known Problems / Issues / Limitations i. For testing 10BAse-T MAU test using DPO/DSA 70000 Series Oscilloscope, we recommend the use of P6330 or P7330 or P7350 probes.If the signal does not autofit the template, adjust the trigger width and the trigger level after the 10Base-T Template user control preference dialog pops up. ii. For 10Base-T TP_IDL test without TPM,if the signal does not autofit the template, adjust the trigger width and the trigger level after the 10Base-T Template user control preference dialog pops up. iii. When an RTF file is opened in Windows office XP for jitter measurement report, the text in the table are not aligned and the screen shots are shrunk horizontally. iv. On Probe P6247, DC Reject option should be set to OFF v. In DPO7000 oscilloscopes, the Hide button does not bring the instrument application to fullscreen. Clicking anywhere in instrument Application will achieve this. vi. For 1000 BaseT, 100 Base-TX,10 Base-T With AFG 3000 in automation mode manually copy the contents of AFG3000Format folder of corresponding tests to root directory of USB memory and hook it to the instrument before carrying out the tests. vii. Using the 10 Base-T Energy efficient report layout to generate report after running the test without the energy efficient setting will not recalculate the result. viii. The AFG3xxx should not be used to generate the disturbing signal for 1000Base-T Return Loss Testing. ================================================================================ 4. Installation i. If the keyboard is not installed, connect it to the oscilloscope rear panel (the optional-accessory keyboard plugs into the USB connector). ii. Power on the oscilloscope to start Windows. iii. Install the optional applications software CD in the CD-ROM reader of the oscilloscope. iv. The autorun utility will start the installation program. If the autorun utility doesn't start up automatically, browse to the CDROM and double-click the launch.exe. v. Select the option 'Ethernet Compliance Test'. vi. Select the option 'Install Now'. vii. Follow the instructions given by the InstallShield Wizard. The oscilloscope must reboot to complete the installation process. viii.You will need to enter the authorized Option Installation Key to enable the application. The key is specific to the serialized oscilloscope and options for which it was purchased. To enter the key number, follow these steps: a. If the oscilloscope powered on in the toolbar mode (default), select the Menu button (upper right corner of the display) to put the oscilloscope into menu-bar mode. In menu-bar mode you should see a PC-style menu across the top of the display. b. Go to the Utilities menu in the menu bar and select Option Installation. c. Follow the on-screen instructions to enter the alphanumeric key number exactly as it is printed on the rear-panel label. Ethernet Compliance Test Software is now ready for use. See "Starting the Application" section below. Note: If TDSET2 is installed then the folder C:\TekApplications\TDSET2 should be copied to some other location if the existing templates, layouts and report are required. The TDSET2 application, if existing, should be uninstalled from "Add/Remove programs" option in Control Panel (Refer to the UnInstallation section of this document for more information) before installing TDSET3 application. ================================================================================ 5. Starting the Application * DPO/MSO 5000/B /DPO7000/DPO/DSA/MSO 70000/C/D/DX: Start the application through oscilloscope menu selection Analyze->Ethernet Compliance Test Software . To restore the App, when hidden or minimized, click Analyze->Restore Application, in the oscilloscope menu. ================================================================================ 6. UnInstallation i. Select Start->Control Panel from Windows ii.Select "Add/Remove programs". iii.Select "Ethernet Compliance Test Software" from the list of installed softwares and click only on the "Add/Remove" button. NOTE: Do not double click "Ethernet Compliance Test Software" to uninstall the application. Doing so may not uninstall the report generator application from the oscilloscope. iv.Follow the instructions given by the InstallShield Wizard. ================================================================================ Contacting Tektronix -------------------- MyTek - One way to receive timely information on new software updates, new products from Tektronix and other useful information is to join MyTek.
