- Sun Microsystems' Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 1.4.2_02 is required 
  for this release; it will automatically be installed with TDSHT3 if it is 
  not already present on your oscilloscope. If the JRE is deleted, restore it 
  through the TDSHT3 installation.

- TekScope firmware updates can be downloaded from the Tektronix website
  at http://www.tek.com/Measurement/scopes/index.html.  
  Under the "Resources" group, click "Software and Drivers".

- The TDSHT3 application requires 256/512MB or more of (windows) system memory.

- Disk space requirements:
  ~175MB of free disk space to install and operate the application.

- Keyboard: 
  Save/Recall features require the use of a keyboard to enter file or folder 
  names.

- Mouse: 
  Though a mouse is not required, we recommend its use with this
  application.

- The best MS Windows(TM) task bar settings for running this application with
  a mouse (without a keyboard) is:
	Always on top = selected
    	Auto Hide     = selected

- Report Generator Version: 3.01.000 or above
  This application will not install Report Generator.
  Report Generator is a common feature shared by several applications. 
  You can install Report Generator from the Optional application CD. 
  Check the version of Report Generator from Report Generator Help>About.

3. Known Limitations

- Before performing any test:
   i. Ensure that the probes and test fixtures are connected properly. 
   ii. It is recommended to do the probe calibration.
  If you do not follow the above steps, then the results may be invalid.

- Results: In Eye Diagram and Jitter Plot, if there is no data within a 
  histogram box, you will see the histogram readout on the plots as "--" and the 
  histogram will not be displayed. Increase the record length and try again.

- Eye Diagram clipping: If vertical offset of the signal is more than 50% of
  the Vswing value, then the eye diagram gets clipped, or in extreme cases, it 
  might be blank.  In such a case, the Result will be shown as conditional pass. 
  The software  will also display a warning message suggesting the user to run 
  the Overshoot/Undershoot V-H and V-L tests.

- Report remarks/comments: If the remarks/comments are too long, 
  they might get clipped in the generated report.

- Generated reports can become fragmented during .rtf exporting when
  graphics, tables, and result fields close to the right margin are used
  in the layout. The default templates provided with this product are
  left justified.

- If a printer is not configured on your oscilloscope, you may see a message
  box, "You must first configure a printer." when you run the application. Click 
  OK and then configure a printer.

- In DPO70000 scopes, the Hide button does not bring the instrument application to full
  screen. Clicking anywhere in instrument Application will achieve this.

4. Installation

4.1 TDSHT3 (HDMI Compliance Test Software)

  By default, the TDSHT3 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):

  i. If the keyboard is not installed, connect it to the oscilloscope rear panel
     (the optional-accessory keyboard plugs into the USB connector).

  ii. Power on the oscilloscope to start Windows.

  iii. Install the optional applications software CD in the CD-ROM reader 
       of the oscilloscope.

  iv. The autorun utility will start the installation program. If the autorun 
      utility does not start up automatically, browse to the CD-ROM and 
      double-click launch.exe.

  v. Click 'HDMI Compliance Test'.

  vi. Click 'INSTALL NOW'.

  vii. Follow the instructions given by the TDSHT3 InstallShield Wizard. 
       If Sun Microsystems' Java Runtime Environment (JRE) software is not 
       previously installed, then the InstallShield Wizard will prompt for 
       installing it. Follow the instructions to install the JRE. After 
       successful installation of JRE, choose to restart the oscilloscope 	
       later and continue installing TDSHT3.

  viii. When the installation is complete, the InstallShield Wizard asks if 
        you want to restart the oscilloscope. Click Yes.

  ix. 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 is 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 TDSHT3 application is now ready for use. See "Starting the Application".


4.2 TDSHT3 (DTG Distribution)V1.0.0

  The Sink and Cable tests require DTG Patterns on the DTG at -
  C:\TekApplications\TDSHT3\Patterns sub-folder. Install the DTG Pattern 
  files on the Data Timing Generator (DTG 5274).
  
  If the DTG Pattern files are not installed on the DTG hard disk, perform the 
  following steps to install it from the Optional Applications Software on a 
  Windows-Based Oscilloscope Compact disc (CD-ROM):

  i. If the keyboard is not installed, connect it to the oscilloscope rear panel
     (the optional-accessory keyboard plugs into the USB connector).

  ii. Power on the DTG to start Windows.

  iii. Install the optional applications software CD in the CD-ROM reader 
       of the DTG.

  iv. The autorun utility will start the installation program. If the autorun 
      utility does not start up automatically, browse to the CD-ROM and 
      double-click launch.exe.

  v. Click 'HDMI Compliance Test'.

  vi. Click 'DTG INSTALL'. This will install the DTG Pattern files at - 
      C:\TekApplications\TDSHT3\Patterns sub-folder on the DTG.
