Yes, the MSO4/5/6 all do support programmatic control of callouts.  The full set of commands can be found on page 2-28 of the programmers manual.

Hello,

This is because the TPP1000 does not use the 1MOhm path, instead it uses a 250kOhm termination.  The termination resistance is also automatically set by the scope when you connect the probe.  For more details about this 250kOhm path see the following FAQ:

Why isn’t the TPP1000 (Tektronix Passive Probe 1GHz) compatible with my scope? | Tektronix

A few things come to mind that might be the issue:<br> <br> If you are attempting to install the same or lower firmware version that is already on the scope it will skip the upgrade process.<br> 1. What firmware version is currently installed on the scope?<br> 2. What firmware version are you trying to install on the scope?<br> <br> It may also be firmware for a different scope.&#160; For example attempting to install firmware for the MDO4k on a DPO/MSO4k will also skip the upgraded process.&#160;&#160;<br> The release notes included with the firmware download will specify which scopes the firmware is compatible with.&#160;&#160;<br> <br> These are the two most common issues provided that the USB drive is functioning properly.&#160; Let me know if this helps.&#160;&#160;

Hello Dan,<br> <br> Yes, the DPO7254 supports remote access.&#160; Either by using Windows Remote Desktop, or your preferred VNC software.&#160; I recommend using TightVNC as its light weight and supports Windows XP.

Hello,<br> <br> Here is a set of commands that will setup a bookmark to track a channel at a given X-position in reference to the trigger point.<br> <br> callouts:callout1<br> callouts:callout1:type bookmark<br> callouts:callout1:bookmark:source ch2<br> callouts:callout1:bookmark:xpos -2E-3<br> <br> Change -2E-3 to your desired X-position referenced to the trigger point, currently this will track the value 2mS before the trigger.&#160;&#160;You can use the other callout formatting commands listed in the programmers manual if you want to improve its presentation.&#160;&#160;

Hello Joe,

Thanks for confirming.  To deactivate a channel swipe down, and to deactivate a measurement swipe it to the right.  

Starting at 8:40 this video has an excellent introduction to the updated user interface.  Additionally, at 9:40 Brandon demonstrates swiping a channel off screen to deactivate.

Hello Joe,

Thanks for the clarification, I have attached a photo to make sure we are talking about the same icon.  This icon was removed with a firmware update a while ago.  It has been replaced by swiping the waveform or measurement badge off screen to delete.  

Could you tell me what firmware version your scope is running?  This can be found under Help > About.
