Hi all, I'm lucky to buy a Tek VM6000 (1GHz). Just peel off the 1st sticker and it's now a DPO7254. May be with some firmware metamorphosis, it will change to DPO7354. :) Lang |

Hi, Congratulations on your luck. I looked for a service manual for your scope and can't fine one, so I have a question. Have you looked inside to see your VM6000 to see if it is made from DPO7000 parts? The Tektronix Service manual for DPO7000 (part number 077-0076-03) is available from their website and identified parts. The PC mother board should be an Intel D945 or Advantech AIMB-562. The Interface PCB is Part Number 671-5912-02 (the -02 part might very). The Acquisition PCB for DPO7104 and DPO7054 is 672-6166-54, for DPO7254 it's 672-5819-54, and for DPO7354 it's 672-6172-50. What is inside a VM6000? Thanks, |

Hi d37duck, I opened the VM6000 few months ago to upgrade the CPU. It is based on a Intel D945 mobo which accepts up to Pentium dual core, not Core 2 Duo. I did not remember the part number of others boards. Normally a VM6000 is based on the DPO7104, but this one is truly a DPO7254 with 40 GS/s on single channel. The front sticker is VM6000-1GS/s, and the rear sticker is DPO7254. There is no probe with it, but an adaptor for testing video items. I am confident that the DPO7354 is "simply" a DPO7254 with hidden license key (or model_ID). According to the manual, even the DPO7354 supports only 2.5GHz analog bandwidth, and use DSP tweaking for achieve the 3.5GHz limit. best. |

Hi langlv, hope you have a nice day I just bid on a VM6000 kit from Ebay, Unfortunately the seller removed the hard drives from both. The TDS7254B I currently have is still able to use the firmware from the official website. But this model is not, I can not find any any info about it. can i ask can you share its program file? Thank you very much. Sincerely, Jing Feng |
