===============================================================
1. System Requirements
- The TDSHT3 application is targeted towards DPO/DSA 70000/B/C/D,MSO 70000/C, DPO70000SX series oscilloscopes.
- The 4 channel support will be available for DPO/DSA/MSO oscilloscopes with bandwidth 4Ghz and above.
- The DDS support will only be available for oscilloscopes with bandwidth 8GHz and above
- TekScope latest Firmware updates can be downloaded from the Tektronix website at http://www.tek.com.
Click on "Software" under "Downloads" and use the Oscilloscope model (like DPO72004) in the 'Search by keyword' control.
- Sun Microsystems' Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 1.4.2_02 is required
for this release; it will automatically be installed with TDSHT3 if it is
not already present on your oscilloscope. If the JRE is deleted, restore it
through the TDSHT3 installation.
- This application software uses the MATLAB Component Runtime, v7.6 on Windows XP/XPe and MATLAB Compiler Runtime v7.17 (Release 2012a) on Windows 7 64 bit from The MathWorks, Inc.
If it is not already present in your oscilloscope, the Runtime will be automatically installed during TDSHT3 installation process.
- The TDSHT3 application requires 256/512MB or more of (windows) system memory.
- The recommended accessories are mentioned in Online Help.
- Disk space requirements:
~240MB of free disk space to install and operate the application.
- Keyboard:
Save/Recall features require the use of a keyboard to enter file or folder
names.
- The best MS Windows(TM) task bar settings for running this application with
a mouse (without a keyboard) is:
Always on top = selected
Auto Hide = selected
- For SX series scopes, USB-GPIB cable has to be connected to scopes for all sink and cable tests which require GPIB connection to scope.
===============================================================
2. Features

- Get quick results with automatic Mask-Fit, measurements, and Pass/Fail
notification
- Get in-depth analysis with statistical analysis and mask margins
- PI Support for Source, Sink and Cable tests.
- Supports for the "Save and Recall Setup" Feature.
- Include Programmer Online Help and Programmer Online Help(PDF Version), for the PI commands
- Online help, the PDF of the online help, and Quick Start User Manuals can
be started from:

- For SX series oscilloscopes, connection details are available at "C:\Program Files (x86)\TekApplications\TDSHT3v1-3\Connection details for SX series oscilloscopes.pdf"
================================================================================
3. Known Limitations
- Before performing any test:
i. Ensure that the probes and test fixtures are connected properly.
ii. It is recommended to do the scope, AWG and probe calibration.
If you do not follow the above steps, then the results may be invalid.
- Performing calibration in Sink Jitter Tolerance test will overwrite the existing patterns. However, factory default patterns are also stored in SJT_Backup folder.
- Results: In Jitter Plot, if there is no data within a
histogram box, you will see the histogram readout on the plots as "--" and the
histogram will not be displayed. Increase the record length and try again.
- Report remarks/comments: If the remarks/comments are too long,
they might get clipped in the generated report.
- If a printer is not configured on your oscilloscope, you may see a message
box, "You must first configure a printer." when you run the application. Click
OK and then configure a printer.
- In some of the Windows Operating System, the scope screen shot in the test report(.rpt file)
may be shrunk.
- If a version lower than HDMI Compliance Test Software (1.4) is to be installed first uninstall the higher version through Control Panel->Add Remove Programs before installation.
- The Quick Start User Manual (Japanese) is not updated to include DDS features.
- The connection diagram is not shown to the user for the tests
when the user click on Connect->More.
To view the connection diagram click on Help->Help Topics
- The patterns associated with the below Sink tests With Direct synthesis setup does not load on AWG7102 either because of granularity (64 for AWG 7102)
or lesser waveform memory (128MB).So use AWG7122 B/C instead of AWG7102 for the below tests.
8-21 Audio Clock Regeneration
8-22 Audio Sample Packet Jitter
8-23 Audio Jitter
8-24 DVI Interoperability (480p 8 60Hz CBar RGB PC v53)
8-28 one Bit Audio
8-15 Character Synchronization
8-16 Acceptance of All Valid Packet Types
8-19 Pixel Encoding Requirements
8-20 Video Format
- The below stated patterns of Sink test - 3D Video With Direct synthesis setup could be loaded on AWG7102 also.
Otherwise for rest of the patterns of the same test use AWG7122B/C instead of AWG7102.
8-29 3D video
- 1080i 8 50Hz RGB TV v99 3DFP (Configure -> Test Method - DDSMethod ->Custom 'Man with Sphere'3D / Standard Graybars 3D ->Pattern List)
- 1080i 8 50Hz RGB Tv v99 3DSSH(Configure -> Test Method - DDSMethod ->Custom 'Man with Sphere'3D / Standard Graybars 3D ->Pattern List)
- Some of the 3D->Custom patterns are not loaded automatically on DTG using TDS7K scopes.
Source Differential tests - In two probe configuration
- By default Select All doesn't support Inter pair skew test as it is a Data-Data test. If the user selects Inter Pair skew ensure that Data channels are connected.
User can perform this test once Select All tests are carried out.
Source Differential tests - In four probe configuration
- By default Select All doesn't support Inter pair skew test as it is a Data-Data test. If the user selects Inter Pair skew with all other
Source Differential tests ensure 3(at least) or 4 probes are connected.
- Source Single Ended SelectALL : The number of tests completed shown in the TDSHT3 application progress dialogue sometimes is incorrect.
8-6 Sink intra-pair skew
- The result shows "Conditional Pass" for some resolutions:
This is due to the limitation of the DTG method having skew less than 1 nS as per CTS.
This is even implemented in DDS methodology to correlate with DTG.
- Sink MinMax: Test connection should be performed before executing Sink Min Max Test
- Cable Eye Diagram : Cable Eye Diagram test is recommended to perform at TP2 or TP5 along with TP1.
However TDSHT3 allows the user to perform the test at TP2 or TP5 alone.
In this case, ensure TP1 worst case eye setting are available on DTG / AWG before performing the test at TP2 /TP5.
- Please ignore the Launch warning pop-up message on DPO 4GHz/6GHz Scopes.
- For cable eye diagram test in reports sometimes lane configuration is shown different for deatils and plots.
- It is recommended that for running Sink Jitter Tolerance calibration(Test ID 8-7) for frequencies 27 Type E, 74 Type E, 222 and 297 , "Use DSP filter" should be disabled from file menu-->Preferences

4. Installation
4.1 TDSHT3 (HDMI Compliance Test Software(1.4))
By default, the TDSHT3 application resides on the hard drive of your oscilloscope.
If the application is not installed on the hard disk,it can be downloaded from the Tektronix website at http://www.tek.com.
Click on "Downloads", select "Download Type" as "Software" and enter "Model or Keyword" as TDSHT3.
Under "Filter by Software type" select "Application" and download TDSHT3: Tektronix solution for HDMI 1.4a/b Compliance testing
Once the application is downloaded, run TDSHT3.exe to get application installed at
at - C:\Program Files(x86)\TekApplications\TDSHT3v1-3 sub-folder on the Oscilloscope
- Follow the instructions given by the TDSHT3 InstallShield Wizard.
If Sun Microsystems' Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 1.4.2_02 software
is not previously installed, then the InstallShield Wizard will prompt for
installing it. Follow the instructions to install the JRE. After
successful installation of JRE, choose to restart the oscilloscope
later and continue installing TDSHT3.
- When the installation is complete, the InstallShield Wizard asks if
you want to restart the oscilloscope. Click Yes.
- 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 is 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
