Tektronix THS7xxx Scope Hack/Teardown/Discussion - FW 1.16 found
walter.aranda:
Dear jal1234, I am using version 3.0.0.0 (sending image), but I have reported freezing issues when recording data while connected to Windows 10 via a USB-RJ45 cable. However, this lag problem has been 'resolved' by using Windows 7 in a Virtualbox. Regarding the license issue you reported, I have read that Tektronix has released the license for domestic use (keycode: WSTRO618650124). I used that keycode, and it hasn't given me any problems related to licenses. Finally, regarding the baud rate, I also haven't encountered any issues, as long as the baud rate settings on both the PC and the oscilloscope match.
jal1234:
Did you find a way to use anything other than 9600 baud in 3.0? Some earlier versions had a faster option, but no option that I could find in 3.0.
Thanks,
Jon

Although the recommended setting is 9600 I have not reported any problems when changing the baudrate, (I am using a modified FTDI USB-RJ45 cable, I can pass you my pin if you want), I did a test with the THS7XX HardCopy program which should run at 34800 in its configuration and I have had no problems.

The Hard Copy program itself
works at 34,800 baud, but the add-on analytic program doesn't work, so I'm left with the basic Hard Copy functions. So I went to the Tektronix program, which works at 9600. But while 2.x versions had speed options greater than 9600, the only option I see in 3.0 is 9600. The scope is capable, but the program appears not to be.

Hello,
I have tried the THS7XX HardCopy program and it worked with my scope. Also the post process with SignalAnalyzer worked fine for me. What are your issues?
