Reverse engineering Tektronix TDS3GV module for TDS3000 series oscilloscopes?
JacquesBBB:
Thanks a lot, Sicco
I use normally 3.3V TTL . This is the setting I put on my TTL to usb adapter (foca v2.2)https://wiki.iteadstudio.com/Foca
I have now verified that the data I type is properly received by the TDS by looking to the debug zone
If I type : *IDN?
I see in the 30 last car
*IDN?\015
so this is correct as I configured with CR (\015)
ON the opposite, No communication Module is detected, but reading the past posts from pmercier

I soldered dupond wires for the 3.3v serial/usb module directly on the provided pins and ... worked like a charm once i removed the hardware control flow from the scope config.
Sended : *IDN?
Got : TEKTRONIX,TDS 3032C,0,CF:91.1CT FV:v4.05 TDS3FFT:v1.00 TDS3TRG:v1.00

I understand that the 100 pins connectors + TTL to USB was sufficient.
sicco:
Some have tried pulling low the relevant databus lines through eight 1k resistors. Not the best of all ways to do it, but that will make it detect a Communications Card also.
JacquesBBB:
Succeed !
I have carefully followed the instructions of pmercier
https://hackaday.io/project/172242-extension-card-for-tds3000-scopes/log/179520-the-actual-informations
and build the mock communication card based on a SN74HC245N (which I had in stock in PDIP form).
Communication with the TDS3032 was then immediate
*IDN?
TEKTRONIX,TDS 3032,0,CF:91.1CT FV:v3.39 TDS3GM:v1.00 TDS3ENG:v1.00 TDS3FFT:v1.00 TDS3TRG:v1.00
PASSWORD PITBULL
MCONFIG TDS3052
*IDN?
TEKTRONIX,TDS 3052,0,CF:91.1CT FV:v3.39 TDS3GM:v1.00 TDS3ENG:v1.00 TDS3FFT:v1.00 TDS3TRG:v1.00
and it seems the scope was converted to TDS3052
Thanks to all who helped by direct interaction or by putting usable information online.
JacquesBBB:
A cleaner realisation of the mock TDS3GM,
the strange list of communication modules with both "None" and "TDS3GM"
Isnt that contradictory ?
The rise time after the upgrade using Leo Bodnar device.

when I saw this topic, it was already several years later, but I was immediately attracted to it. I have built a VGA output for ADV7120 according to the thread in the post, but the display is very dim. Should the 8-bit color input terminal of ADV7120 be connected to at least 6 bits? Thank you all for your guidance, I look forward to it!
