Rohde & Schwarz RTO1024 upgrade ??
jjoonathan:
The touchscreen vertical axis is flipped if you use the default Windows touchscreen driver. Search for "eGalax driver" to find the software from the display manufacturer. This software will restore the correct vertical orientation of touchscreen tracking. The eGalax calibration app is linked from within the RTx.exe software, so this must be reasonably close to the official configuration, but the "T-SCREEN LOCK" button doesn't work, so it isn't exact. Also, eGalax seems to crash every few hours and the touch screen locks up. You can get it working again by doing a Disable/Enable on the touch screen mouse in Device Manager.
If anyone knows the right way to set this up, I'd love to hear!

install this driver:
https://www.eeti.com/touch_driver/Win10/20230414/eGalaxTouch_5.14.0.23406-Release-230406-SingleTouchDev.zip
nothing should crash, I run my scope with Windows 7 embedded and ALL updates without any issues.

Thanks, this driver worked after some fiddling. (Had to disable the instrument so screen calibration could run then enable back the instrument).

I used jjoonathan publised steps to reinstall it with Windows 7. Only things I may have done differently was that I didn't install any Windows update before running RS firmware install 3.70.1.0 and also run RS firmware install 3.70.1.0 as Administrator. It installed a lot of software and drivers and rebooted. The first time it installed some FPGA firmware and rebooted again. Next time it tries to start but gives the error below and shuts down windows (not a clean shutdown). Any Ideia of what can be wrong?

For note. Each device while start saves DeviceFootprint_*.xml file on disk. In x86 versions on c:\ and later it stores in C:\ProgramData....
This file contains all info about device. So if you move disk image to another scope this file will not match and software will give you error.
So need find this file and delete. New one will be created in next start of program.
Regards!

If anyone else worries about how hot R&S runs their unobtainium ADCs, here's how to run the fans a little faster and thereby obtain 10°C cooler running temperatures. If common knowledge is to be trusted, this should ~double the lifetime.
1. File > Maintenance > Service, enter "16052008f" into the Password field, and press the enter key. If successful, the text should disappear from the "Password" box.
2. File > Service 2 > Frontend Temps. Tick "GetHwTemperatures." Write down "FAN1 adjust" and "FAN2 adjust" (91 and 89 on mine). You can observe the thermal regulation by waiting for an ADC to wander above 100°C, watch "FAN1 adjust" briefly increase, followed by the ADC wandering back below 100°C.
3. Edit C:\ProgramData\Rohde-Schwarz\RTO\EEPROM\Frontend\Config.ini, changing ADCTEMP_OFFSET_CH* from -41 to -31.
4. File > Maintenance > Frontend. This is where shit gets real and I must pause for a moment to remind you that I am describing a procedure that worked on *my* scope, not selling you a free insurance policy for modifying *your* scope. Once you decide to accept the risk, press "Flash frontend EEPROM" and "OK." A dialog should pop up "Flashing device in progress, please wait. Do not turn off the device!" In about 5 seconds, the dialog should disappear and you should see "Flashing successfully finished." in the upper right corner.
5. File > Exit
6. Wait for a few seconds and restart RTx.exe. If you did not wait long enough, it will launch/exit, and you should wait a bit longer before trying again.
7. Once the scope app has started, the new settings should be active.
Verification 1: in a quiet room, you should be able to hear difference in fan speed.
Verification 2: File > Maintenance > Frontend > (scroll to bottom) > ADC temp offset should be the new value -31 instead of the old value -41.
Verification 3: File > Maintenance > Service > Password: 16052008f, (press enter, text disappears), File > Service 2 > Frontend Temps, (tick GetHwTemperatures), FAN1 adjust should now be consistently higher than the value you wrote down in step 2. On my RTO, under the ambient temperatures of my bench, the steady state FAN1 adjust increases from ~91 to ~115 after applying this change.
General background information: the EEPROM gets read from the frontend and written to C:\ProgramData\Rohde-Schwarz\RTO\EEPROM\Frontend every time RTX.exe starts. When you modify a ini or dat file in that folder and choose "Flash frontend EEPROM," the files in C:\ProgramData\Rohde-Schwarz\RTO\EEPROM\Frontend get written to EEPROM. Same goes for the mainboard etc.
Happy hacking!
