Tektronix TDS5054B: Record Length Option: Solved!

<< < (15/16) > >>

Hi again .........
I tried all keys for the VM5000 you sent and they all work for all the application /options I have installed from the disc available . They all keep the VM5000HD&SDVideo and the 3M 16 meg enabled so all good .
The first one with 14f s works and stops at 70 available
the 28fs stops at 127apps available not installed
the 30fs stops at 135apps available not installed .
So It would appear that the 14fs takes in all apps up to 70 which includes the last live app i have at entry 69 "Protocol trigger and decode".
I can tabulate all the entries for each key if that is helpful  .
for those with the TDS5104 non B most of this can be enabled including the VM5000 software available as a trial of 5 goes on tek website . Once you have enabled key and the 5 goes run out the next time it starts ok with no trial warning .

Did anyone here restore a TDS7000 windows XP image onto a TDS5000 unit and then uninstall the tekscope software and install the correct version. and see what happened?

of course tweaking is needed.  i ll come back on this one later in the future

Charlyd, there is no point, aside from the front panel, the drivers are completely different. Might as well start with a clean XP install.

I've done this before and it works. I found it pointless too because the Pentium III lacks SSE2 and much of the newer software doesn't work anyway. If you upgrade the motherboard or do this on a B scope, it might make more sense. Additionally, XP is believed to have some issues with the GPIB driver but I haven't tested that.

Bravo:
Hi All,
Can anyone confirm that the PSU & the 2 fans on the left all blow inwards. 

colorburst:
It's the other way, all three fans blow air out of the instrument.

Fresh air is drawn in through the bottom vents where it cools the acquisition board.
