Tektronix CSA 7404 SPC hang?
« on: May 29, 2024, 07:23:20 am »
Hi All,

Newbie here, just got a Tektronix CSA 7404 from ebay. Machine boots and runs, and even passes self tests. However, when I go to run SPC, it never finishes. Left it for an hour (despite saying should take 7 minutes), screens shows its performing a long operation, that never terminates. After rebooting and warmed up, SPC changes to fail. Is there any logs I can pull or other procedures?

Thanks,
Daniel

spc can take longer than 7 mins for sure, around 15-20 mins on a 7404

do you have errors codes in the tek software ?  and as you may know, the spc  is run without any probes ...

i had an dallas  battery dead,  and reconfigure the power pc   VX WORK  boot script (no tek SW would load, simply hang)

an eeprom error who created an error code who made the spc fail


you have an huge tds7k thread here and i posted a few times, and other have  too

I left it for about an hour, it never finishes. Ran without probes. No error codes that I could see in self test (Instrument Diagnostics). Can you specific where I should check?

Thanks,
Daniel
