3) The update rate is not specified
4a) This option gives RF vs Time Traces and Trigger abilities, as listed in the datasheet
4b) The triggering for this option works similar to time domain triggers
4c) The refresh rate is also not specified
5) 4-SV-BAS is available for free with firmware version 1.30.1 and higher
6) The base bandwidth is 312.5 MHz and the span is limited to the scope bandwidth

Hello,

071-0630-02 rolled over to -03 version. Here is a link to the latest.

Hello,

Unfortunately, this license is no longer available.

Hello,

For the TDS3032C, the closest replacement would be the MDO32 with RM3, note that the units are different in size.

For the TDS3GV, GPIB you will need the, TEK-USB-488 and RS232 you will need an adaptor if needed. For VGA you will need an HDMI to VGA adapter.

Hi ,

Seamless data acquisition is only possible in a single acquisition. If the data that you capture is split over multiple acquisitions then there will be gaps between them. For that reason, your maximum length of seamless recording is limited by your maximum record length and minimum required sample rate. In the case of your DPO4104, the RL is 10M points. If you only needed a sample rate of 10KS/s, then you could record up to 1000s in one acquisition. If you needed to sample faster than that, you would have to sacrifice on the length of the acquisition.

There is one other limitation here, which is the 400s/div maximum horizontal scale on the DPO4104. This means that even if you continue to lower your sample rate, you will only ever get a maximum of 4000s in a single acquisition.

So the questions become how long do you need to acquire data for, and how frequently do you need to sample?

Hello,

The TDS6604 is compatible with the TCA-1MEG.

Please ensure that you are running the latest firmware on your DAQ6510

Hello,

The AFG1022 does not have an output for the internal modulation source. However since the AFG1022 is a two channel model you can use the second channel to imitate the modulation source using a ramp function.

That being said there are two caveats. The first is that align phase does not work, and the phase drifts when using a swept waveform. If you have access to an AFG1062 the phase does not drift, but you will still need to align the phase manually with a phase offset.

Hello,

The TDS210 used an optional communications module (TDS2CM) to add GPIB and RS-232. You can remove the module from one unit and plug into another unit. It is not tied to the main board internal to the scope.

Hello,

Try reinstalling the latest firmware, as this can help jumpstart any stuck relays. You will need to force the scope to load the firmware if it is the same as the firmware version already on the scope and I suggest doing this step even if you don't think the scope is on the save firmware version. To force the scope to load the file, create an empty file named "override.txt" on the drive in the root or topmost folder. Make sure that the USB drive is FAT32 file formatted. Then follow the installation instructions linked on the firmware page: https://www.tek.com/en/support/software/firmware/mso2012-software.
