Fluke/Tektronix Bushealth Code: 192C/196C/199C/215C/225C/190 (I & II) THS3000

<< < (6/8) > >>

patpat:
I remember the complete sequence for the bushealth feature on 199C was

--- Code: ---EM
MAINTENANCE
CI 12,0
CI 13,confix
CI 14,0
CI 17,110195
CI 18,y
CI 320,N
RC
EO
--- End code ---

did you try the whole sequence and see if the feature behaves correctly?

Now we'd need to know of a real Fluke 190 owner running the sequence
and see if they get a healthy Bushealth or not.

squadchannel:
Unfortunately, it does not work. It remains with a white screen.

Is the firmware, a lot of diversion of the previous model 190C, or is it incomplete? I wonder.
It seems that even the print menu are left.

v11.10, doesnt work.

Hi,

@squadchanne
@patpat

I'm watching your work with interest.

In THS there's not [Meter] button but I wonder if there's not Serial commands controlling the UI

In the list of remote control commands there is KY (KEYBOARD mode).
In combination with digital values ​​(KY space xx) it can be useful.
The meaning of the commands KY0 -- KY35.... is too extensive to describe everything.

FLK 199C/225C V08.04

COM x_1200_Non_8_1
-

For example:

KY 0 - turns on/off SCOPEMETER.
KY 17 - reduces the sensitivity of the input signal of channel A (down 1KV -> 20mV) in MANUAL mode.
KY 35 - switches READINGS ON/OFF; channel A input ON/OFF.

If you have activated SW FlukeView SW90W_5.4, you can control the scope via the Remote Control function.
FlukeView is also very helpful in creating current reports.

Is anyone out there? The screen can be reached by pressing the User button, then Version & language (F3), then F1 and see if a screen asking for a
Bushealth code shows up or not. Thanks

I have one, there is no Bushealth installation screen. At the specified location, there ist the "Battery Information" screen.

Thanks, if you feel confident you could add the feature using the console access by running:

--- Code: ---EM
MAINTENANCE
CI 12,0
CI 13,confix
CI 14,0
CI 17,110195
CI 18,y
CI 320,N

Please consider it seems Bushealth in the 190 could be an "unfinished" feature, we are not totally sure,
squadchannel tested it only on a THS3024 with Fluke Firmware but we do not know what happens on a real 190 unit


@asis
I knew that feature should've been there ;-) if you got the whole mapping of the 35 keyboard
commands could you past them here?

@squadchannel
I took a bit of time and I saw the code of the FlashTool.exe both Fluke 19xC and Tektronix from last versions
FlashTool_19xC_2xC_V804.exe
THS3000_FW_v0102_Installer.zip
I have to check 190 updater but I bet is like Tektronix

I looked after the WC command: Tektronix splits the data in packets as you saw in your capture, Fluke does not.
I saw the CRC routine, everything is there and I could code a back up app but I did something faster.
I patched Tektronix FlashTool.exe into Tektronix FlashTool Cal.exe.
This new exe saves the calibration file SerialNumber.CAL not under Windows Temp but in the same directory where the
flashtool.exe resides plus it saves the CAL file as ReadOnly
Then when the application tries to delete the calibration file at the end of a firmware upgrade it will fail leaving the file there.
When the application is run again sees that the cal file is present and it'll understand there was a failed firmware upgrade before
and it will resend the CAL file to the instrument.
This way we have a Calibration back up FlashTool application.
This is a bit theoretical just seeing the code, I did not test it myself, if you test it working I can do also the same for the FlashTools of 19xC and 190 Fluke families.


Best,
Pat
