Software Problems
Your logic analyzer comes with most software installed. Before running any of
the diagnost
ics, check the online release notes to verify that the logic analyzer
software is compatible with the module firmware.
Many softwa
re problems can be due to corrupted or missing software files. In
most cases the easiest way to solve software problems is to reinstall the software
and follow the on-screen instructions. (See page 11, Restoring and Installing
Software.)
If you suspect problems with the application software, contact your local
Tektronix representative.
Hardware Problems
If you are certain that you have installed the logic analyzer correctly, run the
extended diagnostics (located under the System menu) to identify any problems.
If your logic analyzer powers up so that you have access to the desktop, run any
other diagnostic software on your instrument to identify possible problems.
