         TDS and CSA scopes.

  v3.0.0 adds support for DPO7K instruments, adds Clock-Data-TIE measurement. 

  v2.1.0 constrains time trend plots to the upper half of the display.

  v2.0.1 makes a few corrections to the On-Line Help and to the printable
         version of the manual (TDSJIT3v2.pdf).

  v2.0.0 original TDSJIT3 v2 release.
  
 
=============================================================================

2. System Requirements

- This software is licensed, and a software security key is required for full 
  operation. However, the software does offer five (5) free trials per 
  application title for evaluation purposes.  Once these five free trials are 
  exhausted, a software security key may be purchased from Tektronix to 
  permanently enable the software application on your oscilloscope. 

- The TDSJIT3A and TDSJIT3E applications are compatible with all four-channel 
  DPO70K, DSA70K, DPO7K, TDS7KB, TDS7K, CSA7KB, TDS6KB, TDS6KC and TDS5KB 
  series oscilloscopes.

- The application requires latest TekScope Software and instrument drivers. 
  The latest Tekscope Software can be found using the myTek software and 
  firmware finder from Tektronix website at:  
  
  http://www.tek.com/site/sw/search/

- The application requires the Windows 2000 or Windows XP operating system 
  (see base instrument operating system requirements).
 
- The application requires Sun Microsystems' Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 
  version 1.4.2_04; it will automatically be installed with TDSJIT3A and 
  TDSJIT3E if they are not already on your oscilloscope.  If the JRE is 
  deleted, restore it through the TDSJIT3A and TDSJIT3E installation.
 
- 512 MB or more of (windows) system memory is required. 1GB is highly
  recommended, particularly if the scope has extended acquisition memory.  
 
- Disk space requirements:
  * Installation files:  installing this application and its on-line help
                         requires ~30 MB
  * JRE virtual memory:  The Java Runtime Engine (JRE) is given an upper
                         limit that depends on the amount of windows memory
                         installed. This will directly impact the minimum 
                         allowable size of the windows virtual memory (swap 
                         space).  If the amount of physical windows memory 
                         in the scope is modified, TDSJIT3A or TDSJIT3E 
                         should be reinstalled so that the JRE memory limits 
                         are properly updated.
 
- Keyboard:
  Save/Recall, Statistics, Measurement, and Waveform Logging features require
  the use of a keyboard to enter file or folder names.
 
- Mouse:
  Though a mouse is not required, we highly recommend its use with this
  product.
 
- The best MS Windows(TM) task bar settings for running this application with
  a mouse but without a keyboard are:
      Always on top = checked
      Auto Hide     = checked
  When the application is used with a mouse only, this allows you to access
  previously minimized plots from the task bar while keeping its visibility
  to a minimum.  This change should be done prior to starting TDSJIT3v2 or
  the position or the application will not be entirely in the lower half
  screen.

=============================================================================

5. Known Issues

 * This application is extremely computationally intensive and is a heavy 
   consumer of memory and disk resources.  If record lengths of 40 Meg or
   greater are acquired and analyzed, the number of measurements should be
   limited to no more than four, with no more than one Rj/Dj Analysis operation
   enabled at a time.  It may be necessary to increase the Windows virtual
   memory settings.  At times when the processing load is extremely high, the
   blinking status indicator in the lower right corner of the user interface
   may stop blinking for up to a minute, giving the appearance that the
   application or the scope is hung.  If allowed, they will normally recover
   and complete the analysis without intervention.

 * The configuration of any measurement filters is not included in log files.

 * User accounts that are set up as restricted users may not be able to save
   setup files.

 * When the application is undocked (File->Undock) and the scope user
   interface returns to full-screen, the scope user interface can come to 
   the foreground and obscure the TDSJIT3A or TDSJIT3E user interface.  If 
   this happens, use Alt-Tab to bring TDSJIT3A or TDSJIT3E to the foreground 
   or minimize the TekScope interface (File->Minimize), move the TDSJIT3A or 
   TDSJIT3E interface to a second monitor, and then restore the TekScope 
   interface.

 * When using a secondary monitor, the Display Properties > Settings for [Color 
   Quality] of the secondary monitor must match those of the Scope's LCD Display.

 * Many versions of scope firmware allow four separate zoom windows.  The
   TDSJIT3A or TDSJIT3E application does not support four zoom windows for its 
   zoom-gating function.  If using this function, we recommend that you only 
   use the first zoom window while operating TDSJIT3A or TDSJIT3E.

 * A query following the GPIB command 'variable:value "resultFor","measN"'
   should return "Busy" until the command is complete.  The query instead may
   cause a GPIB time-out.  If this occurs, we recommend that you wait one
   second after sending the command before reading results, instead of
   polling for a Busy response.

=============================================================================
 
6. Installation
 
 Normally, the TDSJIT3A/TDSJIT3E application resides on the hard drive of
 your oscilloscope. If the application is not installed on the hard disk,
 perform the following steps to install the application from the Optional
 Applications Software on a Windows-Based Oscilloscope Compact disc (CD-ROM):
 
  1. If the mouse is not installed, connect it to the oscilloscope or use
     the touchscreen (if available). 
 
  2. Power on the oscilloscope to start Windows.
 
  3. Install the optional applications software CD in the CD-ROM reader
     of the oscilloscope.
 
  4. The autorun utility will start the installation program.  If the autorun
     utility doesn't start up automatically, browse to the CDROM and
     double-click the launch.exe.  
 
  5. Select the option 'Jitter and Timing Analysis'.  Note that the
     installation process installs both TDSJIT3v2A and TDSJIT3v2E.
 
  6. Follow the instructions given by the InstallShield Wizard. If the Java
     Run-time Environment (JRE 1.4.2) software is not currently installed
     then the InstallShield Wizard will prompt to install it.  Click "OK"
     when prompted for installing JRE 1.4.2 and accept all defaults in the
     JRE's installation wizard, however, if prompted to reboot after JRE
     install, select No. 

  7. The oscilloscope must reboot to complete the installation process.
 
  8. You may need to enter the authorized Option Installation Key to enable
     the application. The key is specific to the serialized oscilloscope and
     options for which it was purchased.  To enter the key number, follow
     these steps:
 
    a. Maximize the oscilloscope user interface if it is currently minimized.
 
    b. If the oscilloscope is in the toolbar mode (default), select
       the Menu button (upper right corner of the display) to put the
       oscilloscope into menu-bar mode. In menu-bar mode you should see a
       PC-style menu across the top of the display.
 
    c. Go to the Utilities menu in the menu bar and select
       Option Installation.
 
    d. Follow the on-screen instructions to enter the alphanumeric key
       number exactly as it is printed on the rear-panel label.
 
 The TDSJIT3A / TDSJIT3E application is now ready for use.  Depending on your
 scope model, it can be found on the File->Run Application or App or Analyze menu.

 You may install and later uninstall TDSJIT3A/TDSJIT3E on your oscilloscope 
 without affecting an existing installation of TDSJIT3.

 If the amount of physical windows memory on the oscilloscope is modified,
 you must reinstall TDSJIT3A/TDSJIT3E so that the application is optimally 
 configured to use the memory.
