1. System Requirements

- TDSCPM2 Application is targeted towards DPO 7000,DPO/DSA70000,CSA7000/B,TDS7000/B,TDS6000B/C series
  and TDS5000B oscilloscopes. (Note: TDS7000/B and TDS5000B require
  Option SM).

- The latest version of the software can be downloaded from Tektronix web site.

- Sun Microsystems Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 1.4.2 will 
  automatically be installed by the TDSCPM2 Installer on the oscilloscope in:
  C:\Program Files\JavaSoft\JRE\1.4.2 
  If you need to re-install JRE V1.4.2 do not install the JRE on the CD.
  Re-Install the TDSCPM2 distribution


- This software download offers Five Free Trials for evaluation.
  Once the five free trials are exhausted, a software security
  key may be purchased from Tektronix to permanently enable the software
  application on your oscilloscope.

- Disk space requirements: 55Mb of free disk space to install and operate this
  application.

 4. Known Limitations
  1. TDSCPM2 has a known limitation by which remote GPIB "Pause" 
	command	does not always have the desired effect of pausing the 
	application when in free-run. The workaround for this problem is to issue 
	the "Ready" command instead which simply stops free-run.

  2. TDSCPM2 E3 pulse width symmetry tests can provide failing results on lower
	bandwidth instruments (TDS7104's) which otherwise pass on higher
        performance instruments (CSA7404's).  This is due to the statistical
        nature with which the crossing threshold reference levels are chosen which
        tends to be less stable on lower bandwidth instrumentation. The stability
	of these measurements can be greatly improved by turning on Measurement >
        Gating > Cursor, and putting the cursor on the flat area immediately
        adjacent to the positive or negative pulse.  Ideally these cursors would
        be 1 Unit Interval apart.  This technique should be considered a 
        work-around if failures in E3 pulse symmetry occur.

  3. Do not attempt to run any application from the TekScope File>Run Program
   	menu at the same time that you are running any of the demos in the OpenChoice
   	folder on your oscilloscope Desktop. Exit from the currently running demo
   	or application before starting another demo or application.

  4. TDSCPM2 will not restore the original scope settings when "Yes" is selected 
        in the Exit dialog box section labeled: "Restore Scope Settings?" After 
        TDSCPM2 exits, to retrieve the original scope settings, the user must use the 
        "Recall Settings from file", in the Scope menu, File > "Instrument Setup..."
        and select the file: C:\scopeOriginal.set

  5.TDSCPM2 has a known limitation which causes java error when the application is closed 
       using the remote GPIB "exit" command   

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

5. Installation 

 Normally, the TDSCPM2 application resides on the hard drive of your
 oscilloscope. If application is not installed on 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 keyboard is not installed, connect it to the oscilloscope rear panel
     (the optional-accessory keyboard plugs into the USB connector).
 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 'Install Products'.
  6. Select the option 'Communications Pulse Measurements'.
  7. Select the option 'Install Now'.

  8. Follow the instructions given by the InstallShield Wizard. If Java Run-time 
     Environment (JRE 1.4.2) software is not previously installed then the 
     InstallShield Wizard will prompt for installing it.  Click "Yes" when 
     prompted for installing JRE 1.4.2 and the InstallShield will install it. 
     The oscilloscope must reboot to complete the installation process.

  9. You will 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. If the oscilloscope powered on 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.
	b. Go to the Utilities menu in the menu bar and select Option 
           Installation.
	c. Follow the on-screen instructions to enter the alphanumeric key
	   number exactly as it is printed on the rear-panel label. 

-- The TDSCPM2 application is now ready for use. See "Starting the Applicatoin"

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

6. Starting the Application

 * VGA DISPLAY:
	Start the application by using File->Run Application->Communications 
	Pulse Measurements 2, on the oscilloscope menu. To restore the app-
	lication, when hidden or minimized, click on the "App" button near "Help"
	on the oscilloscope menu.

 * XGA DISPLAY:
	Start the application by using App or ANALYZE->Communications Pulse Measurements 2,
	selection on the oscilloscope menu. To restore the the App, when hidden 
	or minimized, click App or ANALYZE->Restore Application, in the oscilloscope menu.
