Known Limitations * The Hide button does not bring the instrument application to full screen. Clicking anywhere in instrument Application will achieve this. * Some of the Windows of application (for example, preferences panel) will go behind the application window and cannot be brought to the front for proper operation. Restart the application/oscilloscope to overcome this problem. * Press the ENTER key to ensure proper selection of a file. For example, in Utilities->TSV File Generator after entering the TSV file name, press ENTER to commit changes * This application uses Java's printing capabilities and depends on the operating system for most of its operation. If no printer is connected to the oscilloscope, then there may not be any error message from the operating system. Ensure a printer is connected and working properly before using printing feature in application * For Inrush and Droop measurements, the report does not include any images. * The HIDE and CLOSE button can intermittently remain in the foreground when the TekScope application goes full window and displays the "App" button. If this occurs, click anywhere in the TekScope Application to bring the TekScope application forward. * When attaching a secondary monitor, set the color setting to a higher color depth than 256 colors to be the same as the primary monitor. The application will fail to invoke with a secondary monitor color setting of 256 colors or less. * Administrator privileges are required to install or uninstall the TDSUSB2 application on Windows 2000 and XP operating systems. If you do not have administrator privileges, contact your system administrator to install the application. =========================================================== 16. Known defects *Resume Measurement gives error message during sequencing *Rise Time/ Fall Time results accuracy needs to be improved =========================================================== 17. Installation Normally, the TDSUSB2 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 or DVD): 1. If the keyboard is not installed, connect it to the oscilloscope rear panel (the optional-accessory keyboard plugs into the USB connector) 2. Power on the oscilloscope to start Windows 3. Insert the optional applications software CD in the CD or DVD drive of the oscilloscope 4. The autorun utility will start the installation program 5. Select the option 'USB 2.0 Test package' 6. Select the option 'INSTALL NOW' 7. Follow the instructions given by the InstallShield Wizard. If Java Run-time Environment (JRE 1.4.2_02) software is not previously installed, then the InstallShield Wizard will prompt for installing it. Click "Yes" when prompted for installing JRE 1.4.2_02 and the InstallShield will install it. Do not change the the default locations to install the files. The oscilloscope must reboot to complete the installation process. 8. 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 is powered on and 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 autorun utility fails to start in step 4, then select the My Computer icon. In the Exploring My Computer window, select the drive letter associated with the CD or DVD (for example, D:) drive. Select the file LAUNCH.EXE to start the installation program. Complete the installation process by performing steps 5 to 8 as mentioned above. The TDSUSB2 application is now ready for use. Start the application by using ANALYZE->USB2.0 Test Package menu selection on the oscilloscope menu. To restore the application, when hidden or minimized, click on the ANALYZE->RESTORE button. =========================================================== 18.
