The TRCP3000 has a coil diameter of 8.5mm. I'm not sure exactly how the bus bars are but that should hopefully give you some idea of what it will/wont fit around.

Based on the information that you have provided it sounds like there is a significate DC component to the signal. This would lead to the signal jumping when the power is toggled.

Unfortunately there was not a firmware update to the DPO4000 to include support for the TPR1000. For a full list of compatible scopes please see page viii of the TPR1000 user manual.

It is possible to log your data straight from the scope to a USB drive. To do this, you would use the Act on Event feature which will allow you to set the scope to save specified data on certain events, such as a Trigger. This feature is located in the Trigger menu under the Mode & Holdoff tab. Select Act on Trigger and the Act on Event menu will pop-up on the screen. There is a matrix of actions and events to choose from and a Save Configuration to define the location and file format of your data.

However, this solution will most likely give you lots of data and might fill up your USB before the collection is over. We have some software options available that might make capturing your data easier. I suggest that you look at TekScope Utility, a software with lots of configurability that will make saving data over a long period of time potentially easier. This software will allow you to save specified data formats at time intervals over the length of the test to a specific folder on your computer.

I would suggest taking a look at both of these options and maybe running some tests to see what works best for you.

Hi Kevin,

That shouldn't be an issue according to some internal references I've checked with.

Hi Steve,

The request below is backwards. We have a scope with 4.3.7 and our customer wants it downgraded to 3.0.2. We want to know if that will cause problems.

Hi Kevin,

If the scope came with firmware 3.0.2 installed, originally, that should be fine to do.

Scopes in that era shipped with specific firmware versions to match any bill of material changes in hardware. Upgrading firmware from that point accommodated all changes in all systems.

Reverting to a firmware version released prior to the date of manufacture has the potential to cause some hardware to malfunction.

Hello,

All nonvolatile memory devices in the DPO7000C are documented in our declassification document: https://www.tek.com/en/oscilloscope/dpo70000-mso70000-manual/dpo7000-c-dpo70000-b-c-d-dx-dsa70000-b-c-d-mso70000-c-dx-mso-0

Table 4 shows a NVRAM 16 Megabits element for Calibration data on the acquisition board. The factory calibration will follow the oscilloscope, not the system drive.

Note that after swapping the system drive, rebuilding system drive, updating firmware, or changing timebase, the TekScope application will need to run Signal Path Compensation. This is an automated process performed by end-users to account for additional factors beyond the factory (e.g. local temperature, pressure, humidity, etc.).

Hello Joshua,
Assuming this is the SPC calibration from the Utilities menu, disconnect all inputs, adaptors etc., do a default setup then run.

If still failing SPC, there is a hardware failure and a repair will be needed.

Hello,

The 2336/YA is 1980s vintage I didn't find any info on tek.com. However, the link below had a service manual and more information, I hope that helps:
