TDS1K2KB.TEK 		- oscilloscope firmware

Instructions:

1. Copy the firmware file, TDS1K2KB.TEK, to the root or topmost folder of a
USB flash drive.  The drive must be 2 GB or smaller.

2. Turn on the oscilloscope.

3. Insert the USB flash drive into the oscilloscope.  

4. From the oscilloscope, push the UTILITY button.
Select "File Utilities" option.
Then select "more - page 2 of 2" option, select "Firmware Update"
option, finally select "Update Firmware".

The oscilloscope will reboot and the firmware update will begin
automatically.  The update will take about five minutes.

Currently installed version:

To verify the firmware version currently installed in the oscilloscope,
push the UTILITY button, then select "System Status" option, and then
select "Misc." option.

Troubleshooting:

- If the firmware does not load, verify that the USB flash drive is
supported by the instrument.  Insert the USB flash drive into the
oscilloscope.  A message should be presented that states "Please wait
while the oscilloscope verifies your USB flash drive". If this
message is not presented, try another brand of USB flash drive.

- If the firmware does not load and the USB flash drive otherwise
works fine, then the firmware files may be corrupted.  Try
downloading the firmware again.

- New versions of firmware are released from time to time.
