This version is an incremental maintenance to V6.1.1 which includes a Defect fix for pulse triggers on unreleased products. Initial Turn on --------------- After receipt of a new oscilloscope or the installation of a new release of software, run Signal Path Compensation (SPC) located under Utilities->Instrument Calibration... to ensure peak oscilloscope performance. All probes should also be recalibrated - see Vertical->Probe Cal... When you purchase a new oscilloscope, the main Scope Application and any options you may have purchased are installed at the factory. Some software packages must be installed separately by the user. This release supports only English. To update the instrument software to a newer version than was shipped with the oscilloscope, customers can download software from the Tektronix web site at www.tektronix.com/software. Be sure to read the "This SW Applies To:" list of instruments to be sure your model is listed. 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. The description for this software version is as follows: ----------------------------------------- This software version is the initial release for the DPO7000C and DPO/DSA/MSO70000C instruments. This software release is also a Maintenance release for the DPO/MSO5000 instruments. Some of the Defects that have been resolved include: Support for Windows 7 user mode (i.e. non-admin) Pattern Editor has been improved. Wave Inspector performance was enhanced. Several other issues have been resolved. 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. 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. 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. 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, select Help->Check for Updates... 3. Select Preferences when the Adobe Updater dialog appears. 4. Uncheck the "Automatically check for Adobe updates" option. 5. Click OK. 6. 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 www.tektronix.com/software. 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. 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.
