Unified tektool released ! (Firmware flash tools for old Tektronix TDS series)
Nx-1997:
I used this program with a fake Agilent 82357B on windows 10 to backup and flash the firmware on my tds784d and tds684b. So I can confirm that this program supports Agilent 82357B, fake and genuine ones. Its good practice to install NI visa because Keysight visa is usually not supported by many softwares. For example, python library pyvisa only supports NI visa.
I wonder if we can mod the firmware to include more features, unfortunately I am not skilled enough to pull this off.

Or ask me !
If you wanted a TDS540D Firmware, you can use TDS784D Firmware. Explain: TDS500/700 firmware is since C serie same. But you must stay to frist firmware-count. You can't use Firmware 7.4e from TDS784D on TDS784D with 6.3e. You can update from 5.0e to 5.3e (i am looking after this firmware), but not to 6.6e.
Greetings

Hi Madao,
I have TDS540a with version 3.8.3e. I found some other ones on ko4bb that seem compatible with version 3.8.7e. I basically look into file in hex mode to see if my 540A shows in list. If you have anything more recent would be happy to get it. Does upgrading FW erase calibration? I used your tool ( Thank YOU :-+ ) to backup mine and also backed up NVram. Hopefully when bat goes out i will be in good posture to restore.
