5. TekExpress 100G-TXE created changes on your system.
After first launch of "TekExpress 100G-TXE.exe" following changes take place in your Scope.
a) "My TekExpress" folder is created under "My Documents" folder of current user
NOTE: If a user with new login ID launches "TekExpress 100G-TXE.exe" ,
"My TekExpress" folder is created under "My Documents" of the new user.
b) "Untitled Session" folder is created under "100G-TXE" folder when the
application is launched and will be deleted after proper termination of the
application.
c) If user saves a session then all session files are saved under "100G-TXE"
folder accordingly. Note that each session has multiple files associated with it and do
not tamper with any of the session file(s) and/or folder(s) as this may result in loss
of data or corrupted session files.
=====================================================================================
6. Recommendations
Ensure that all the required instruments are properly warmed up, Signal Path Compensation
is performed, appropriate attenuators are used when connecting signal to ATI channels and
deskew is done.
=====================================================================================
7. Known Limitations
7.1 Installer related limitation
a) Installation of TekExpress and other software packages are installed on C:
drive only.
b) The available free space on C: drive must be minimum 2.2GB.
