If the JRE is deleted then re-install TDSDDM2 - This software download offers Five (5) Free Trials for evaluation. Once the five free trials are exhausted, a software security key may be purchased from Tektronix to permanently enable the software application on your oscilloscope. =============================================================== 2.

Known Problems V3.0.0 - Unchanged from V1.3.2 --------------------------------------------------------------- V1.3.2 - Unchanged from V1.3.1 --------------------------------------------------------------- V1.3.1 - Unchanged from V1.3.0 --------------------------------------------------------------- V1.3.0 - Unchanged from V1.2.3 --------------------------------------------------------------- V1.2.3 - Unchanged from V1.2.2 --------------------------------------------------------------- V1.2.2 - Unchanged from V1.2.1 - If the application fails to restore the Oscilloscope settings on exit, then make certain the folder "C:\Windows\temp" exists. --------------------------------------------------------------- V1.2.1 - Unchanged from V1.2.0 - The "Hide" or "Close" Button/Icon can intermittently remain in foreground when TekScope application goes to full window and displays the "App" button. If this occurs, click anywhere in TekScope Application to bring TekScope application forward. --------------------------------------------------------------- V1.2.0 - Due to a bug in Sun's JRE v 1.2.2 dragging a dialog box to the 2nd monitor causes the contents of the window to be displayed on the wrong monitor. - The possibility exists that if the same reference memory is selected to store more than one waveform the application might hang since only one waveform may be stored in a ref. The work around is to ensure that each reference memory is used for only one waveform. =============================================================== 5. Installation Normally, the TDSDDM2 application resides on the hard drive of your oscilloscope. If the application is not installed on hard disk perform the following steps to install the application from the Optional Applications Software on a Windows-Based Oscilloscope Compact disc (CD-ROM.) 1. If the keyboard is not installed, connect it to the oscilloscope rear panel (the optional-accessory keyboard plugs into the DDM connector). 2. Power on the oscilloscope to start Windows. 3. Install the optional applications software CD in the CD-ROM/DVD Drive of the oscilloscope. 4. The AutoOpen utility will start the installation program. 5. Select the option 'Install Products'. 6. Select the option 'Disk Drive Measurement'. 7. Select the option 'INSTALL NOW'. 8. Follow the instructions given by the InstallShield Wizard. If Java Run-time Environment (JRE 1.4.2_04) software is not previously installed then the InstallShield Wizard will prompt for installing it. Click "Yes" when prompted for installing JRE 1.4.2 and the InstallShield will install it. The oscilloscope must reboot to complete the installation process. 9. 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. Do not enter this key until all application software that you have purchased has been installed. 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. NOTE: If the AutoOpen utility fails to start, then Select the My Computer icon. In the Exploring My Computer window, select the CD-ROM (for example, D:) drive. Select the file Launch.exe to start the installation program. Complete =============================================================== 6.
