The AFG3011 is a single channel AFG. Even with 2-channel AFG's, the skew between the two channels is too big to be feasible for differential signals.

When using the RF input on the MDO3k the units default to dBm. You can change this to one of several other units by pressing Ampl in RF section of the front panel. Then select the vertical units and adjust using the multipurpose knobs.

There is no function difference between the two scopes. The-NV version was for a Navy contract.

The CT6 probe head's opening is very small, only designed for 20 gauge uninsulated wire (0.8mm). If this doesn't sound like it would work for your test setup I can help get you pointed in the right direction if you've got some specs for the signals you need to measure as well as the scope you will be connecting the probe to.

for username USER_OEM the default password should be either LANCER or GLADIUS

The AFG1062 has a maximum of 8K points of arbitrary waveform memory. To get two seconds of data, you would need a sample rate of 4KS/s (8K points / 2s). This is not a high enough sample rate to get a 10kHZ signal. Do you have any other Tektronix AFGs available to use for this test?

We don’t ship our equipment with a Windows password set. We only ship them with a default Windows account username “Tek_local_admin”.
It’s likely someone may have changed it and didn’t notify others. I know some of our rental partner use ‘oem’ as a password on their rental units if that’s its origin.
I’ve also seen reference to a BIOS password ‘Tektronix’ on some of our scopes, but that’s about it.
If the password remains unknown, the only way to recover the AWG is though an operating system restore procedure.

Try logging into the unit without using a password and then try oem if that doesn't work. If neither of these options work, you will need to run an Acronis restore. To do this, press F5 at boot and the unit will take you through the process. This will return the unit to factory state. Any user data on the unit will be erased.

The TDS2002 has a 1M ohm BNC input. There is no "read-out" capability with the scope input or the standard probes that were included with the scope. The default attenuation setting is 10x as that is far and away the most common attenuation setting. If using anything other than 10x probe they will manually need to change the attenuation setting on the scope channel to match the probe that they are using

The main board only needs to be removed if the unit cannot be powered on to run the TekSecure to clear reference waveforms and instrument setups.
