Software Description
--------------------
Software Description
--------------------
This firmware version for scopes running Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)
to support Manufacturing and resolve defects. Some of the defects and
enhancement requests for this release include the following:
- P7520A probe tips can be selected and DSP applied
- TPP0502 probes no longer fail probe compensation because of internal
clipping of the calibration signal
- MSO/DPO5000 instruments will no longer freeze for 30 seconds when
certain operations are performed with active probes
- CAN_L searches on Missing Ack are now displayed correctly in the
event table
- This deployment package also fixes an issue where incompatible
may appear in the Analyze menu on the DPO7000C series scopes

Installation Notes
------------------
- This firmware version is not intended for products running Windows
XP, i.e. DPO7000, DPO/DSA70000, and DPO/DSA70000B products.
- 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.
- DPO/MSO5000 series scopes must have version 6.1.3 or later
firmware installed prior to installing this version.
Users should manually install version 6.1.3 if their scope has not
been updated to this version already.

Initial Turn on
---------------
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 recalibrated - 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 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.

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
----------------------------------
Switching of the GPIB configuration between Controller and
Talker/Listener modes cannot happen with the UAC (User Account Control)
settings set to Default or Always Notify. 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.

LXI operation requires specific 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/DSA/MSO 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 Oscilloscopes 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.

Antivirus 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.

To be notified of new instrument software releases, you can
subscribe to the Tektronix RSS feed for software and drivers at the
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.
