Click on "Software & Drivers" under the "Resources" set of links on the left. - Sun Microsystems' Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 1.4.2_02 is required for this release; it will automatically be installed with TDSHT3v1-3 if it is not already present on your oscilloscope. If the JRE is deleted, restore it through the TDSHT3v1-3 installation. - The TDSHT3v1-3 application requires 256/512MB or more of (windows) system memory. - Disk space requirements: ~240MB of free disk space to install and operate the application. - Keyboard: Save/Recall features require the use of a keyboard to enter file or folder names. - Mouse: Though a mouse is not required, we recommend its use with this application. - The best MS Windows(TM) task bar settings for running this application with a mouse (without a keyboard) is: Always on top = selected Auto Hide = selected - Tekscope firmware updates can be downloaded from the Tektronix website at: http://www.tek.com/Measurement/scopes/index.html under the "Oscilloscope Product Resources" group click "Software Downloads". =============================================================== 2. Features - Conformance to HDMI standards and test specifications (CTS-1.3b1) ensures reliable results. - Simultaneous 4 channel test capability for Source and Cable tests. - For better portability, reports are generated in HTML/MHT file format. - AFG Jitter Insertion Support for Cable Eye Diagram Measurement. - Complete validation of standards with wide range of tests for Source, Sink, and Cable devices. - Accurate Source tests by using precise measurement techniques. - Dependable Sink tests with closed-loop measurements that eliminates non-linearity in the test setup. - Complex Sink and Cable Tests, automated with remote control of signal sources, thereby shrinking test times. - Quick results with automatic Mask-Fit, measurements, and Pass/Fail notification. - In-depth statistical analysis and mask margins. - Faster testing with one-touch selection of multiple tests. - Quick results with one-touch summary and reports in csv format. - Complete compliance solution with an elaborate test fixture, signal sources, and TDR. - Supports for the "Save and Recall Setup" Feature. - Online help, the PDF of the online help, and Quick Start User Manuals can be started from: Start > Programs > TekApplications > TDSHT3v1-3 > Help Start > Programs > TekApplications > TDSHT3v1-3 > Help (PDF Version) Start > Programs > TekApplications > TDSHT3v1-3 > Quick Start User Manual (English) Start > Programs > TekApplications > TDSHT3v1-3 > Quick Start User Manual (Japanese) ================================================================================ 3. Known Limitations - Before performing any test: i. Ensure that the probes and test fixtures are connected properly. ii. It is recommended to do the probe calibration. If you do not follow the above steps, then the results may be invalid. - Results: In Eye Diagram and Jitter Plot, if there is no data within a histogram box, you will see the histogram readout on the plots as "--" and the histogram will not be displayed. Increase the record length and try again. - Recall default sets P7313 differential probe voltage to internal 3.3V. This is applicable only for Source tests on DPO/DSA 70000 series oscilloscopes. - While running the Min/Max Differential Swing Voltage test with SMA7313 probe, manually change the Attn dynamic range of the probe to 2.5X. ================================================================================ 4. Installation 4.1 TDSHT3v1-3 (HDMI Compliance Test Software(1.3)) By default, the TDSHT3v1-3 application resides on the hard drive of your oscilloscope. If the application is not installed on the hard disk, perform the following steps to install the application from the Optional Applications Software on a Windows-Based Oscilloscope Compact disc (CD-ROM): i. If the keyboard is not installed, connect it to the oscilloscope rear panel (the optional-accessory keyboard plugs into the USB connector). ii. Power on the oscilloscope to start Windows. iii. Install the optional applications software CD in the CD-ROM reader of the oscilloscope. iv. The autorun utility will start the installation program. If the autorun utility does not start up automatically, browse to the CD-ROM and double-click launch.exe. v. Click 'HDMI Compliance Test (1.3)'. vi. Click 'INSTALL NOW'. vii. Follow the instructions given by the TDSHT3v1-3 InstallShield Wizard. If Sun Microsystems' Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 1.4.2_02 software is not previously installed, then the InstallShield Wizard will prompt for installing it. Follow the instructions to install the JRE. After successful installation of JRE, choose to restart the oscilloscope later and continue installing TDSHT3v1-3. viii. When the installation is complete, the InstallShield Wizard asks if you want to restart the oscilloscope. Click Yes. ix. 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 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 TDSHT3v1-3 application is now ready for use. See "Starting the Application". 4.2 TDSHT3v1-3 (DTG Distribution)V3.3.0 or above The Sink and Cable tests require DTG Patterns on the DTG at - C:\TekApplications\TDSHT3v1-3 sub-folder. Install the DTG Pattern files on the Data Timing Generator (DTG 5274/5334). If the DTG Pattern files are not installed on the DTG hard disk, perform the following steps to install it from the Optional Applications Software on a Windows-Based Oscilloscope Compact disc (CD-ROM): i. If the keyboard is not installed, connect it to the oscilloscope rear panel (the optional-accessory keyboard plugs into the USB connector). ii. Power on the DTG to start Windows. iii. Install the optional applications software CD in the CD-ROM reader of the DTG. iv. The autorun utility will start the installation program. If the autorun utility does not start up automatically, browse to the CD-ROM and double-click launch.exe. v. Click 'HDMI Compliance Test(1.3)'. vi. Click 'DTG INSTALL'. This will install the DTG Pattern files at - C:\TekApplications\TDSHT3v1-3 sub-folder on the DTG. ================================================================================ 5.
