darkstar49:
Just came across the same 'issue' (on a 3.27 FW version)
And just as others, I (somehow unintentionally) managed to get back to 'normal' :(

Would be really interested, it was definitely a developer menu, and was persistent, as described.
There were LCD testing menus, DAC settings (gain, offset,...), and a bunch of other interesting things... can't believe no one here knows how to enter this DEV mode ??????????

darkstar49:


Anyone here knows how to extract the actual firmware file ??  (and/or would have one, version doesn't matter much).

I'm not too bad with PowerPC assembler, would really like to dig into this to find out how to activate that mode... but don't wanna spend hours trying to figure out how to extract/reconstruct the actual image from the 3-4 floppies (not even sure a still have a working floppy btw...)

User WigglerAway figured it out here:

  https://www.eevblog.com/forum/projects/tektronix-tds3000-oscilloscope-modules-tds3uam/msg288787/#msg288787

but I don't see that the reconstructed version was posted anywhere.  Should be simple enough to do it.

In fact, the info was already available in another thread...  |O
(although without mentioning the 'PacmanBuildView' that appears in the version popup)

Press the 'Select' button while powering it on, for quite a while, until it's completely started.
That brings new (and relatively self-explanatory) items in the Utility menus.

Have fun !

Nice! I wonder how much you can screw up the scope with this...  >:D
