Tektronix TDS5054B: Record Length Option: Solved!
colorburst:
ivi_yak,
The TDS5104 is good value if you need 1GHz BW in my opinion; the UI is a bit clunky but works fine. Automatic measurements such as risetime are supported; for more complex analysis needs, you can export waveforms to a file or control the scope via GPIB.
Flash drives are supported as the scope contains a regular PC motherboard and runs Windows 2000 or ME. The USB ports on the back are hard to reach though, so I prefer LAN connection for file transfer instead.
Part availability is on par with modern equipment, the custom hardware is difficult to replace indeed. The good news is that it's rarely a problem and will be obvious from SPC and self-test results. Any issues tend to be with the PC motherboard, the hard drive, or the power supply, all of which are commonly available or otherwise easy to deal with. Upgrades are possible, with some caveats, but not really worthwhile.

Ok .
I have looked through this tread about the key generation and have downloaded the gen.py etc from the site and installed python 2.7 on a windows with PowerShell. Could somebody here who knows how the use gen.py give an "idiots guide "as to what to do next ?A worked example would be great .

Hi nicnac117,
I created a Python Map in my Documents, in which I put both tek-ssc-master files: gen.py and validate.py.
In the Windows cmd (command) shell I use cd (change directory) to get into the right path.
cd Documents
and then (after the prompt)
cd Python
etc. etc. (see the scripts in this thread).
Success,

Hi ivi_yak,
Regarding your Option Disk Request. In the past you could download this (063-3478-25) from TiN's (xdevs.com) webside. I should ask him for it.
Success,
