Reverse engineering Tektronix TDS3GV module for TDS3000 series oscilloscopes?
blackfin76:
If you want to debug a serial bus like I2C or SPI the extra bandwidth doesn't add anything but if you do analog design or digital interface design it may be very useful. I have a Agilent MSO7014 for serial bus debugging, but I actually prefer the TDS3000 series for analog design.
Hairystuff:
For analog stuff I used to use a Iwatsu SS-5711 but I replaced it with a Agilent 54622D, I really like the Agilent with all of its features but I thought I'd try something newer like the Tek TDS3012, I purchased a Tek TBS1104 before the Agilent but didn't like it due to its slow update rates and no intensity controls, I do like the Tek but I still find myself using the Agilent more at the moment.

The TDS3000 is quite an old design at this point, I don't think CAN, I2C, and other interfaces that are widespread were really a thing back then. It was conceived in an era of parallel bus interfaces, hence the infamous DS1742W used internally.

I confirm, the tds3eng did the trick !

I actually dremeled the RTC after desodering it and installing a socket on board, I got to the battery in the RTC chip after grinding off the encapsulation material and installed a CR2032 holder on there so I could easily access it for replacement in the future without changing the RTC module.
