3. Main Features on SignalCorrect v1.0.2.4 release
- SignalCorrect is now compatible with Windows 10 on all supported scopes models.
This enhanced compatibility ensures that the SignalCorrect application installs and runs correctly from the initial installation attempt.
This change eliminates the previously required additional steps to make the SignalCorrect application run correctly within a Windows 10 environment.
This release also includes improved support of non-ATI channels on ATI equipped model DPO70000SX model scopes.
The enhancement ensures that characterization using the 33GHz Tek-Connect channels on DPO77002SX, DPO75902SX, and DPO75002SX scopes will run to completion.

================================================================================
5. Known Problems
- SignalCorrect control window may go behind Tekscope application window. Use Alt-Tab
keys to switch between SignalCorrect and other applications.
- USB communication between the scope and Tektronix Calibration Source may experience
lockups. In order to overcome these reconnect the TCS to the scope.
- In certain Windows configurations the TCS Firmware Update utility may not work. Make
sure that the drivers in C:\Program Files\TekApplications\SignalCorrect\WinUSBDriver
are installed and 'LPC based USB device' entry is under 'LpcDevice' in the
Windows Device Manager. Alternatively, use another PC to install the SignalCorrect
installer and run the update utility.
- SignalCorrect requires Tekscope application to run. In case of connectivity issues
make sure that compatible versions of firmware and VISA are installed.
================================================================================
6. Installation
By default, the SignalCorrect application resides on the hard drive of your oscilloscope.
If the application is not installed on the hard drive or an update is desired,
it can be downloaded from the Tektronix website at http://www.tektronix.com.
Click on "Downloads, Manuals & Documentation" under "Support" and use "SignalCorrect" in
the 'Search by keyword' control. Run the downloaded executable on the instrument.
- Follow the instructions given by the InstallShield Wizard.
- If this is an update to an existing install, the old version will be uninstalled
and you will need to restart the installation following completion of this task.
- 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 Windows 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.
The SignalCorrect application is now ready for use. Start the application through
oscilloscope menu selections under Analyze>SignalCorrect
SignalCorrect installation can be used to install Tektronix Calibration Source drivers,
Demo Utility, Firmware Update utility and API libraries on standard PC or unsupported
scope. In this case no SignalCorrect software is installed nor licensed.
