The search function in the forums does not seem to work. I always receive blank results when I search.

See attached results screenshot for a search on "MSO46" string.

 

Hi Iris,

Yes, the scope in the picture is definitely the one I am connected to. I use the TekScope software routinely to capture waveforms. The screenshot capture for the scope was taken at different time than the software screenshot.

The triggering options for the software do seem limited.

The software is great for basic functionality and for manipulating waveforms without the horrible lag on the scope controls, but I am disappointed in the triggering options.

Thanks,
Mark

Hi Iris,

Sorry about the wait. Here is a screen shot of the TekScope software version and the MSO46 firmware version.

Thanks,

Mark

When using Tekscope to control my MSO46, I can only get Edge as a triggering option when setting up a capture in Tekscope. The documentation shows all of the normal options. I have attached screenshots of each instance.
 

When I set up my MSO46 at 4 s/div on auto roll trigger, the channel display colors change on each update, the displayed signal jumps between channels, and some signals disappear and reappear with each update. If I click stop, the display shows whatever the current state is (not the correct state). By the time the roll approaches ~90% screen coverage (right to left) all of the colors are correct, all of the signals are correct, and all signals are displayed.<br> <br> Is this expected behavior?<br> <br> I will be updating firmware, but we usually wait until we can test any automated scripts before upgrading all scopes. We have been burned before when the updated firmware has caused our automation comms commands to stop working.<br> <br> I have a video of the signals walking across the screen and changing, not sure if it will include.<br> <br> Please advise.<br> <br> Tektronix MSO46<br> F/W: v1.40.3.236<br> Six channels capturing data<br> TPP0250 on five channels<br> TCP0030 Current probe on one channel<br> Sample rate: 625k<br> Record length 25Mpts<br> 4 s/div<br> <br> Thanks,<br> Mark

For those of us who face IT restrictions on what can be connected to the network, is there a solution to copy large files that does not require the scope to be connected to the network or directly to the PC via ethernet cable? Our IT department is convinced that the security of the scope is too low to be on (or connected to something on) our corporate network..<br> <br> Thanks
