Tektronix TDS210 Hardcopy Release Notes, IMPORTANT

Version Info


Download

The download comes in 2 pieces, the base install which includes either a non-functional or an older version of the program's exe and all the dlls and controls, and the latest version of the executable.
Once you have done the base install once, you only need to download the new executable for upgrades (unless advised differently in the Version Info at the bottom of this page..

Download base install

Download current exe (copy to your install directory)

Software License available here.


Installation

Unzip the TDS2xxDump-base.zip file in a temporary directory and run the Setup.exe program.
Unless you change the default settings, the program will install in C:\Program Files\KO4BB Software\TDS2xxDump and create an entry in the Start menu.
If you select another directory, make a note of it.
Then download the TDS2xxDump.exe file directly into the program's installation directory.
It will overwrite the TDS2xxDump.exe file created by the base install.

Prerequisite

This program has only been tested under Windows XP. The program should but may not work under other versions of Windows.

This is very preliminary and incomplete. Feel free to come back or ask questions if you can't wait...


Setup and Operation

Select the serial port connected to the oscilloscope, and make sure the oscilloscope is configured as shown in the Help->Scope Setup menu.

The program only shows the COM ports that are installed when you run the program.

If you use a USB-serial converter, it may not be showing up as the same COM port each time.

Click on the "ID" button first. It allows a quick check that the scope and the program are talking. If it works, the scope's ID will print on the screen.

To acquire a waveform, click on "Acquire" and wait (typically about 38 seconds for a TDS 210 at 9600 bauds)

Then you will be prompted for a name under which the file will be saved. You can only save a file as a bitmap, but the file is not very big (about 38k).

The program saves the COM port setting when you exit.


Important Note:

As always, there are no guarantees. If you have questions, I will do my best to address them.
