I could not locate a schematic for the THM565. You could check with Vintage Tek at https://vintagetek.org/

Hello,

Here is a link to the API manual: https://www.tek.com/en/spectrum-analyzer/rsa306-manual/rsa306-rsa306b-and-rsa500a600a

This should include most function definitions you will need to get started using the API, including IF streaming functions.

Additionally, the Tektronix GitHub contains some API examples: https://github.com/tektronix/RSA_API

The recommended replacement for the TDS3014C would be the MDO34 with opt. 3-BW-100 (100MHz Bandwidth). You can find the datasheet here: https://www.tek.com/en/datasheet/3-series-mdo

Hello,

SignalVu-PC only directly supports the Alaris antenna and does not acknowledge other antennas. This means that your new antenna will not be listed in the software, but you will still be getting data from the antenna. To make the antenna work properly with the software, you will need to get the gain map for the antenna and input that in the Amplitude Control Panel. You can get the gain map from the antenna datasheet/manufacturer.

It is likely that the SSD is corruptedm the best course of action would be to replace the drive with AWG702BUP SSD.

Unfortunately we do not have a comparable product that meets the specification at 3800m.

Our closest replacement to the TDS1002B would be the TBS1052C. However, you also requested that the scope “does not shrink the display to a perfect square”. The TBS1000C does offer an XY mode, but it will reduce the screen to a perfect square. This can be seen on page 78 of the TBS1000C user manual (linked below). The TBS1052C MSRP is approximately $544.00. I don’t believe that Tektronix can offer a demonstration units for the TBS1000C, but there are multiple demonstrations video on the product page. Let me know if this will not suffice, and I may be able to find a work around for this.

While the TBS1000C does shrink the display to a perfect square in XY mode. It could be possible to capture a waveform with the TBS1000C, and the post-process this waveform data using our TekScope PC software. This would allow you to save a waveform on the scope and then analyze it on your computer. This would also allow you the analyze the waveform in XY mode with a full display. I have attached an image of what this would look like to this email. The image shows the TekScope Application running on my computer and tests displaying an XY plot of two reference waveforms that were saved previously from a scope (there is no live data present). However, it should be noted that the TekScope PC software does cost a minimum of $201/year. I have linked the TekScope™ PC Software Licenses page below.

If you are interested in a scope that does not shrink the display to a perfect square, our lowest cost model would be the MSO44. However, this may be a bit over on price, as the MSO44 (200MHz BW) MSRP value is about $8,000.

Hello,

The SUP3-AFG upgrade (and all upgrades except the 1 GHz bandwidth) are field upgradeable by end-users.

Hello,

The AFG feature can be ordered as an upgrade. MDO4AFG

Post-purchase instrument options
The following product is sold as a stand-alone product and can be purchased at any time to add functionality to any MDO4000C product:

MDO4AFG: Add arbitrary function generator to any MDO4000C Series product. This is a one-time, permanent upgrade to any model enabled through single-use application module hardware key. The hardware key is used to enable the feature and then is not required for future use.

Hello,

Unfortunately, our instruments do not ship with or have a generic passwords. If there is password on the device, that means that someone created a user account for the instrument. You will need to login to access the oscilloscope in its current state.

If you no longer have access to the account password, then the only option to recover the instrument is by performing an OS restore. Instructions on how to restore an instrument can be found in the manuals linked below.

If you do not have access to an Operating System Restore Media (the restore CD shipped with the instrument), we may be able to find the OS restore media files for you. In that case, please file a technical support ticket for further help.
